100 days as of Monday, and 4,700 strike sorties in, NATO officials are preaching “progress” on the war in Libya, but those claims are coming in very non-specific terms. Lots of buildings have been destroyed, many people killed, but very little territory has changed hands.
And indeed, what territory has changed hands during the NATO involvement has been incidental, with offensive and counter-offensive settling into an unsteady equilibrium shortly after the US, France and Britain began bombarding the nation. Since then, the bombing has joined with fighting along the frontier between the two factions as just one more permanent aspect of life in Libya at war.
If the war was, as NATO insisted when it began, about safeguarding civilians, it has failed miserably. NATO strikes have killed no small number of civilians themselves, and the bloody stalemate on the ground has continued unabated, with reports of both sides committing human rights violations.
Since then it has morphed into a war of regime change, and it is on this basis NATO claims “progress,” even though they also concede that there is no estimated date when the Gadhafi regime will fall. Still, they insist, the regime has been weakened.
Which has NATO playing for more time, trying to sell an open-ended war to a public that was never consulted in the first place, and has plenty of experience with wars that don’t seem to ever accomplish anything. Even the boundless enthusiasm of NATO’s leadership for such wars faces an uphill battle in convincing voters across its member nations, and with Italy already jumping ship, others may soon follow.
People: we said this from day one.., now they are saying it after 4 months of bombing and killing people..,
By RFI
"The anti-Kadhafi uprising in Libya is neither democratic nor spontaneous, according to a delegation which visited the country last month".
"Their report, published by two French-based thinktanks, claims the rebel Transitional National Council (TNC) wants to impose Islamic sharia law and that the uprising is motivated by regional resentment and vindictiveness". http://www.english.rfi.fr/node/95867
This war, as any other wars for last 20 years that started by US and NATO been about dividing nations, land stealing – grabbing by US and NATO militarism regimes.., Libyan war is not about democracy and never was, is about opening a corridor to African continent by using the illegitimate child of Saudis and Arab Emirates Muslims Brotherhood and it affiliated terrorist groups from all over the world, stealing the AU ($53 billion dollars ) and more wars in Africa. Look most of governments of EU are in this war.., some of them just talks more then others.., some like Germany already have recognized the rebel which should tell you that Obama, Hillary Clinton, China and others are in this as well.
Nazi Assassins Terrorists Oppressors
NATO knows that the Libyan conflict has been a huge success for those that matter. The price of gasoline has continue about .55 cents a gallon more than it would have been without the attacking the defenseless military of Libya. Yes they are defenseless from the high power advance jets of NATO. The biggest problem for NATO is it has no mission and one day people will understand that it is the old colonial powers. The history of the old colonial powers has not been all that good. NATO actually has a very dismal future and it will be amazing if they allow Israel to enter the "north atlantic treaty organization".
let's see a popular opinion poll from every NATO nation participating asking whether or not people support this war. Oh, Sarkozy and Cameron definitely would not like to see that.
Ok this is of subject but very important and informative.For more information then people that have seen facts about 9/11 and are 100 persent sure it was a fauls flag attack .For info that very littel know go to (911 Timeline The Most Comrehensive Minute By Minute Timeline On 911) on your internet.I'll tell on not even 1 persernt of what is told that shows it was not done by someone like a terrorist group that would cause as much damage as possible.American Airlines Flight 11 flew directly over the number oneTerrorist target in the US,Indian Point nucular power stations.Why there there objective would be to kill and cause as much damage as possible.Will continue before I run out of room.
Continueing.If they hit Indian Point nucular power stations they would have killed upwards of 20 million people due to radiation poisoning.The whole northeast corridor from Newyork to Bostin would instantly have become a wastland unihabitable for thousands of years.Why would they fly further when they could have hit a much much bigger target and by flying further they would chance being intersepted and shot down.Also 3000 people died when the world trade center was hit between the 94th and 98th floors.TO cause much more death they would have hit them at around 11 instead of around 9 and at the lowest possible point withch would have been the 25th to 30th floors.The terrorists would now there best and only shot against the strongest military in the world have been to hit them first andhit as hard as possible.So why would they not have hit Indian Point? Will continue running out of room.
Thanks Jason. Question: Does anybody know who armed the rebels?
US, Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Turkey, England, France, and every other Supporter of Muslim Brotherhood and their affiliated terrorist groups whom are Sunny Muslims.., Do you remember the representative of Muslims Brotherhood who is supported by Obama.., who wanted to build the Muslims Culture center in NY.., the one that been sent all over the world and paid by the of the sect whom organizing and preaching about US policies toward Muslims nations.., if US senate wants to go after anyone to stop the Libyan war they need to look deeply into Obama, his Muslim representative and NATO engagements with Turkey and Turkey relation with Israel.., Look, Turkey wants to become a full member of the European Union and they been trying hard but for last 10 years their application been rejected .., they need to do something for the Organization (European Union) for their application to be approved.., helping NATO with war in Libya is a start.., stopping the latest flotia to Gaza is another.
NATO, US, EU are slaves of satan and they will suffer when the day comes. They will never win, they will always loose.
