In a statement issued today, Amnesty International urged NATO to conduct a full investigation of a recent attack near Zlitan, which the Libyan government reported killed 85 civilians. NATO denied seeing any evidence of civilian casualties.
But did it look? Its not clear. Officials reported the attack yesterday and independent journalists confirmed seeing large numbers of dead civilian bodies in the morgue, including a number of civilians. NATO shrugged off the entire report, insisting anyone who was killed must’ve been a “mercenary.”
The blase attitude about civilian deaths has typified NATO’s campaign in Libya, where a number of seemingly very credible reports of air strikes killing civilians or hitting populated areas always being dismissed out of hand, with the offiical slogan that NATO “isn’t targeting civilian populations.”
It isn’t convincing many people though, and Amnesty is just the latest to call NATO out for it. Today they added that “NATO continues to stress its commitment to protect civilians. To that effect it should thoroughly investigate this and all other recent incidents in which civilians were reportedly killed.” That seems to be the last thing NATO wants to do, however. With the war’s unpopularity already on the rise confirming those killings will only embarrass them further.
NATO to look for the evidence of killing civilians.., that will never happen as if NATO would never lie
About killing civilians.., not in Afghanistan that never happens.., nor in Iraq that never happened.., nor in Balkan war.., that absolutely didn’t happened. Yet if Amnesty International think that NATO gives a damn about what Amnesty International asking NATO to do.., is like believing that NATO is not a militarism regime following the foot steps of Adolph Hitler.., or if NATO defendant by the remark let me change it.., Neo-Fascism.
nato is probing …………with bunker busters
amnesty joke, pretend care so can herd more people more control. If they really cared they would make clear they know nato criminals full stop.
NATO is clearly using the "Daily Follies" template pioneered by MACV in Saigon during the Vietnam War. For that matter, NATO was using the "Daily Follies" template when it was conducting its act of aggression against Serbia in 1998. Viewed from a strictly utilitarian perspective, there's no particular reason that NATO shouldn't use this template, because the lapdog Western media will believe anything they're told. Of course, that doesn't cancel the fact that NATO lies through its collective teeth. As a creature of the FedGov, it will parrot its master.
