UK experts say the real reason for the headship of France in the military operation against Libya is that Sarkozy tries to save own rating which is quite low at the nearing elections.
"French love when its President acts as a political figure, when he takes decisions in world arena, "- Guardian wrote not disclosing the name of diplomat giving the interview. He said the position of Sarcozy now is so bad that he really needs some "good crisis". Experts say the last week's poll as well affected the fighting mood of Sarkozy, his rating was so low he could loose elections not only with his opponents, but as well with Nationalist Le Pen according to the poll.
British experts say the willingness to defend Libyan rioters caused serious astonishment, as the position of France in this respect at the beginning of the conflict was so moderate. After the negotiations with the temporary government he was eager to help to opposition. He appointed an envoy in the oppositionist town Bengasi. He was inciting the EU allies to attack the Qaddafi forces. So it was not surprising that the French Air Force started the operation with bombing. In addition to this bad relations with Qaddafi was a reason. He accused French President in a treason. He said Tripoli was financing his Presidential campaign
