Obama Is A Cautious Optimism Libya: "It Is Not Over Yet"
Barack Obama said Monday that Libya is at a turning point and the rule of 42 years of Moammar Gaddafi is coming to an end. But he avoided any "Mission Accomplished" triumph during a broadcast news conference of his holiday home Martha Vineyard, Mass. Obama has warned that the struggle for democracy in Libya is not over.
"The situation remains very fluid, there is a high degree of uncertainty, and there are still elements that threaten the regime," Obama said. "But one thing is clear: Gaddafi's regime is nearing its end and the future of Libya is in the hands of its people."
"I want to emphasize that not over yet," Obama said, adding that "the regime collapses, there is still heavy fighting in some areas and we have reports of elements of the regime threatened to continue the fight." He also urged the Council National Transitional Libya from the opposition to avoid violence and retaliation.

Post-conflict experts, reiterated the President's caution, warning that the entry of insurgents surprisingly smooth Libyan capital Tripoli at night could be overshadowed quickly if the insurgents are unable to restore order in the streets of Libya, and to provide public services such as glamorous garbage collection, electricity and water.
"It's like the Libyans have climbed the mountain - and now we see a mountain in front of them," an analogy between the first United Nations post-conflict experts Mark Quarterman in an interview Monday with the envoy. "You should take immediate steps laid the groundwork, the foundation for political reconciliation," Quarterman said "Ultimately, if people are off in the process. - If the place seems chaotic, if people with guns all are capable of taking off, Libyans have to make a political deal with a wide range of stakeholders, tribes and regions, will be much harder to remove. "
Although the Transitional Council is not politically fragile country has a clue what to do, he remains "is not an entirely smooth operation," said Quarterman. "Whether they are able to meet [the promise] is yet to be seen."
The international community will play a supporting role in the reconstruction of Libya, Obama said Monday.
"America is a friend and partner" for the post-Qaddafi in Libya, said Obama. United States and its allies "support" the transitional authorities of Libya "with assets of Gaddafi regime, which was frozen earlier this year."

But, he says, in his speech praising the courage of the Libyan people in the fight against Gaddafi six months: "Your revolution is you and your sacrifices and your own with their extraordinary sacrifices, Libya, you deserve is within your reach."
"There are two parts to what the international community plays a minor role in Libya," said Quarterman. "It's because the [Transitional National Council] wants it. Secondly, the international community is relieved of having to be so. They have no money, and certainly do not want all the troops in"
