Obama hails death of Muammar Gaddafi as foreign policy success

president warns other dictators in the Middle East, particularly the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who could be next

President Barack Obama welcomed the lifting of the "dark tyranny" on Libya after Muammar Gaddafi has confirmed the new government had been murdered, a warning to other dictators of the Middle East - and Syria in particular - could be next.

While Obama made no mention of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who was Obama had in mind when he said that the rule of the iron hand in the Middle East is inevitably to its end. Leaders who try to deny the promotion of democracy will not succeed, he predicted.

Obama made the remarks at the White House Rose Garden, after the images are displayed around the world of what appeared to be the bloody corpse of Gaddafi. "One of the oldest dictators of the world is more," the president said.

The Libyans had won their revolution and "the shadow of tyranny has risen," said Obama.

Given the number of false statements in recent weeks that Gaddafi had been killed or captured, Obama was careful not to state categorically that he was dead.

is limited to a carefully selected formula. "We can certainly say that the Gaddafi regime came to an end"

promised U.S. aid Libya in the establishment of an interim government and holding free and fair elections, but anticipates "difficult days ahead."

Death

Gaddafi immediately raised speculation the U.S. military the same model - the use of American air power in combination with the rebel forces on the ground and special forces in Europe -. It could be used again in Syria

Vice President Joe Biden

describes the military model as a "recipe" for the future, while the spokesman for the White House, Jay Carney, asked about Syria, Assad said that he had lost his legitimacy to rule.

Former NATO commander Wesley Clark asked if the same strategy could be used in Syria, said: He told CNN that each country should be "Could it be." Differently " Syria will be different from Libya, but it shows NATO is capable of sustained effort. "

Obama, facing re-election next year, Libya has recorded another successful foreign policy of the square next to the death in May, al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, the withdrawal of the most U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of the year and the first phase of a phased withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.

Obama has been criticized from the start of the Libyan revolution by Republicans for being too slow to respond, and the Democrats worried that he took the U.S. another war. He also met with opposition from the then Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, now retired, who was reluctant to engage in another war, but Obama and Clinton disavowed. Gates has earned at least the argument that no U.S. ground troops is compromised.
Development
Obama to Libya was to provide U.S. air power in support of the rebels, but not for U.S. troops on the ground, leaving the other countries, including France and Great Britain.
