美国总统奥巴马和英国首相卡梅伦表示，在利比亚的军事行动将持续，直到卡扎菲停止袭击平民，交出政权。奥巴马总统星期三在伦敦的一次联合新闻发布会上说，对卡扎菲的施压不会减弱。卡梅伦说，英国将尽一切可能寻求加大这种压力。两位领导人说，目标是使利比亚人民有能力选择自己的未来。
奥巴马总统说，他相信北约在利比亚的战役最终将拖垮卡扎菲部队，取得胜利，但他说，这将是一个“缓慢而坚定的过程”。奥巴马说，美国和欧盟也在加大对叙利亚总统阿萨德的压力。阿萨德的安全部队在镇压反政府抗议者。
U.S. President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron say military operations in Libya will continue until leader Moammar Gadhafi stops attacking civilians and gives up power.Speaking in London Wednesday at a joint news conference, President Obama said there will not be a let-up in the pressure on Mr. Gadhafi. Mr. Cameron said Britain will be looking at all options for increasing that pressure. Both leaders said the goal is for the Libyan people to be able to choose their own future.
President Obama said he believes the NATO campaign in Libya will ultimately be successful in wearing down the pro-Gadhafi forces, but said it will be a “slow and steady process.” Mr. Obama said the U.S. and the European Union also are increasing pressure on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, whose security forces have been attacking anti-government protesters.
