Yesterday’s announcement by Italy calling for an immediate ceasefire on humanitarian grounds showed what could, putting it mildly, be called a growing split among NATO member nations over the war in Libya. With other key nations like Germany and Poland refusing to take part, the conflict has split the alliance down the middle.
NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen, however, retains his boundless confidence, insisting that the alliance will continue the war “through the end” and that there was no consideration being given to Italy’s call for a ceasefire.
Italy’s use as a staging ground for attacks gives them considerable clout however, should they choose to push the issue. Rasmussen’s claim that NATO will take “all the time needed” to win the war is very questionable.
And Italy’s move could be small potatoes compared to another alliance member fighting over the situation: the United States. Though the Obama Administration seems set to continue the war simply for the sake of doing so, Congress seems seriously to be considering defunding the war and forcing an end to US involvement. If this happens, “NATO’s war” could quickly become simply Britain and France’s war.
First of all one needs to ask this man this: What alliance.., there are only England, Franc using Italy – Sicily air space bombing Libyan civilians: second as you say: Asked about Italy's ceasefire call, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said in a newspaper interview: "No, on the contrary. We shall continue and see it through to the end."
"We will take the time needed until the military objective is reached: end all attacks against Libyan civilians, return armed forces to barracks and freedom of movement for humanitarian aid,"
What "military objectives" what “ Humanitarian aid” this man is talking about.., everyone thought that is going to be a no fly zone operation by not letting Libyan air force attacking civilians.., which NATO started bombing Libya military – Air force bases disabling them.., so by this man using the word "military objectives" he actually means a militarism triumph or glory when Qaddafi and his family (Mafia style by NATO) are killed and when Libya is occupied by NATO forces or when the Danish Arla Milk production company Amba is able to sale its product in Libya.., or when his friends as Saudis and Arab Emirates Tyrants are satisfied with the mission.., but until then he is looking for a "military objectives" combined with a “humanitarian aid” to be accomplished while NATO is bombing the country killing civilians.
Look this man was the prim minister of Denmark few years ago.., he knows to be part of the mechanism behind the Neo Fascism in Denmark…, off course he is going to answers the questions with such stupefied answers.., he doesn’t have any feelings for human being to start with.., he doesn’t understand the word if you spell it for him.
Rasmussen is a psychotic criminal and the perfect frontman for the organization he ostensibly heads.
Rasmussen is as you say a psychotic criminal. This is the man who so ardently supported the Sri Lankan Tamil Tiger terrorist movement – the people who perfected the suicide human bombs.
His support for these terrorists continued until finally they were defeated and then he turned to cries of anger against the Government who defeated the terrorists.
Now he leads NATO. Does any more need to be said about the man and his character.
Elementary, my dear Watson. If there's any "split" it's over the warmongers fighting for the lead. He who bombs more gets all the oil and all that.
Obama's Secretary of State Hillary Clinton challenges critics, "Whose side are you on?"
Can left-wing Obama supporters still have any doubt about whom they voted into power?

They must provide a no-fly zone so one group of civilians (to whom we provide the arms) can attack another group of civilians without fear of counter-attack. I think I'm getting the picture — this is the New World Order of Humanitarianism.
NATO Chief? How can we get anywhere for as long as such misconceptions abound. He is NATO SPOKESPERSON, nothing more. NATO Chief in any military operations can be only one: NATO Supreme Commander. And NATO Supreme Commander can be ONLY a US General, by NATO Charter. Ever since General Clark was Supreme Commander during bombing of Yugoslavia, the function has been very much out of the limelight, leaving all the talking to the "Secretary General". Anyone remembers how he was called "Supreme Being", and his pronoucements were daily news features? Ever since, the Supreme Commander does the commanding, not talking. But it does not change anything at all. US General reports only to the US President, and takes orders only from the US President. He is also the only one who commands NATO military operations. So much for US not being involved. Britain and France are doing exactly what Spokesperson Rassmusson is doing: "taking a lead" and standing in public limelight for what is US-run, and US-managed operation from the start. Such an Obama thing to do.
The split can be only over spoils. NATO countries have long since stopped listening what their populations want, so this is no exception. The really funny aspect of this tragedy is the belief that this man, Rasmussen is actually anything more then a NATO spokesperson. NATO is commanded at present by a general, NATO Supereme Commander. He (whoever he is) is reporting to only one authority: the President of the United States. By NATO Charter ONLY a US general can become NATO Supreme Commander, and he gets his orders from his boss, US President. So, the whole bravado by France and England was to take some heat off US, as the public is already simmering with the fury over many existing wars, and the millions of people being tossed out of their homes, made both jobeless and homeless. So, since we the citizens are supposed to be such morans, we will believe that this one was not planned, ordered and commanded from Washington. If anyone remembers, Hillary Clinton spend days and nights on the plane shutting among European capitals to get this one pulled off. Obama style, in action: leading from behind. France is ready for a revolution at home, so the whole charade may fall apart at the seams.
