With officials increasingly up front with the fact that the Libyan War is a stalemate, NATO is not looking to extricate itself from the conflict. Rather, analysts say, NATO seems to be gearing up for an open-ended conflict.
With some of the alliance’s top members saying that simultaneously Gadhafi isn’t a target but that the war will continue “until he leaves,” they have defined what seems to be an unending conflict. Which analysts say is the point.
“These three countries (US, France and Britain) don’t want dialogue yet. They are trying to play for time to encourage an internal collapse in Tripoli,” one analyst noted. Indeed, that does seem to be the hope, but officials also admit there’s no sign the collapse is imminent.
The African Union tried earlier in the week to negotiate a ceasefire between Gadhafi and the rebels, which the regime appeared willing to accept. The rebels rejected it, however, and French officials then cited the lack of ceasefire as proof the war needed to continue, to “save” the rebels.
Time has proved Taft correct when he argued NATO would be not a guarantee of peace but of war.
NATO is nothing but a militarism regime xpewnding the US/NATO colonial expensions.
At least the UK uses the occasion to demonstrate Eurofighter Typhoon's Ground Attack Capabilities to Parliament. Just in time for the program's review.
Ugh.
As British nationals were abandoned and Cameron flogged arms and wandered, smirking, in Cairo's Tahrir Square (4) boasting being "the first Western leader" to visit after the uprising (British politicians have a delusional obsession at being "first" or "leading the world", having a pitiful modern record on both, except in illegal invasions and mass murder.) Nick Clegg went skiing.
Since the imposition of sanctions on Iraq in 1990, the subsequent bombings, George W, Bush's declaration of a "Crusade" before Iraq's invasion, the carpet bombing of of Yugoslavia in 1999, the bombing, invasion and occupation of Afghanistan in 2001, the U.S., and U.K., have led twenty one, shameful, homicidal, infanticidal, blood soaked years against Muslim lands.

Napoléon was the greatest general of the western world in last 2000 years. He was a great man too. only mistake he did was not to attack England and kill the english race-instead he attacked Russia and destroyed 95% of his grand army. Napoléon should have attacked and burn england so that the world wouldn’t have to bear the curse of having english race on the earth. we can still do it by making Europe again fight
