Most US Presidents have a single comment which winds up neatly summing up the entire theme of their administration. President Obama may well have delivered his today, when addressing the possibility of arming Libyan rebels.
“I’m not ruling it out. But I’m also not ruling it in,” Obama remarked, adding that it is his belief that the US “probably could” smuggle arms into Libya despite what was a fairly clear arms embargo supported by the administration just weeks prior.
But officials are now reimagining UN Resolution 1973, in particular the clause about preventing harm to civilians, as a blanket permission slip to funnel weapons to the combatants which NATO hopes will win the ongoing civil war.
Though the UN resolution was originally supposed to be about a no-fly zone, it quickly escalated into massive air strikes. Now, it seems, it is being used by the West as an excuse for not only meddling in the ongoing war, but escalating it by pouring arms into the nation.
No suprise at all.
Obama and the war mongers in the West knew all along that they would not oly supply arms to the 'rebels" but would also be sending in troops to ensure that they had control of Libya's OIL.
To the Western Terrorists THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.
The rubbish about preventing a humanitarian crisis was just rubbish to deceive a feeble mined nation. The American public is so dumb that they cannot see that this man and his cohorts are taking them for the fools that they are.
I've seen through Obama and the rest of the garbage that call themselves "World Leaders" since Day One. Well ever since that Iran/Contra shit went down. Ever since learning about that at the tender age of 10 I've continued to this very day to record the mountain of skulls that this sick Empire is built upon. No matter. Obama and the rest will have their day much like their ex-homeboy Gaddafi, that I can guarantee. I can also guarantee that I'm going to do what I can to not only survive but prosper, come what may.
This was how the Taliban came to be a major force…the US, in their zeal to bring down the Soviets, armed a bunch of "rebels" with high powered weaponry and then provided "advisers" to train and voilà, what we then have is an armed force with their own agenda and the US standing around wondering WTF just happened. Who says history doesn't repeat itself…
♬You put your right foot in…
you put your other foot in your mouth…
you arm some rebel battalion…
then you reap the blowback for years
and years
and years…
You do the hocus pocus and you call yourself democracy
that's what it's all about?
This is their last resort.., asking Terrorist groups from Afghanistan to Iraq and to Libya to start a war in Libya.., this is their last resorts to find jobs for Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Power and Obama in ccoperation with Saudis tyrant familys in Middle East. This war is about everything but democracy not even close to the wording. This war is Obamas war, this war is Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice and Powers, is a murdering of innocent peoples war in cooperation with US-EUNATO.
Please stop placing those fraud-smiling Obama pictures within your articles – I can not stand such pictures and not read the articles – really.
Andron said it all very concisely. I would be surprised if the USUK France mob weren't already supplying weapons and munitions to the so called 'rebels' They're already acting as their air force in this civil war. But as air power alone cannot stop Muamar Ghadaffi's troops from defeating the traitors and driving them from the oil towns we're likely to see a NATO invasion with the excuse that they are needed "to secure the 'rebel' area (i.e. the oil fields) and protect 'innocent civilians' from attacks by Ghadaffi". It all about stealing Libya's resources – nothing else.
Traitors? What exactly makes them "traitors"? And who are they "traitors" to exactly?
This is going to bite us in the azzzzz
Agree! USG has a build-in skills to support those whom they will try to dispose of later. The bottom line is that any war, especially those of long duration, are the greates business to those who would never go to the frontline but more than willingly send children of others to risk death or injury.
Money, the American religion.
Today's 'rebels' and 'freedom fighters' – tomorrow's 'insurgents' who we'll be fighting.
That Zionist Neocon TRAITOR to America, Bill Kristol, applauds Obama's acftions in Libya is all that one needs to know to make them sick!
Follow the money – it's all about oil!
And how long will it be till we are arming the rebels to these rebels down the road? It's a civil war – neither side should receive anything.
Civil war is when two factions of the population are fighting each other (for example your "Civil War"). When a government viciously attacks peaceful protesters who are forced to fight back, it's not a civil war. It's repression of the worst kind and even genocide but not civil war.
1- We have said it all along that George W. Bush and his father were behind the Al Queada in Afghanistan.., they brought Osama Bin Laden to Afghanistan giving him tools to establish a Muslim sanctuary in Afghanistan.., this was their last resort to show that they are against communism, socialism and any kind of democracy in between. Here and once again Obama, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Power in cooperation with international Zionism and Tyrants Kingdome families in Persian Gulf have proven the fact that US is not about democracy but rather is against democracy of any kind. Therefore, as their last resort they are going to arm a group of international terrorist to create another Afghanistan where they can invaded it later down the path. At the same time Libya is going to be a passage way to invade African continent in later time.., they have planed this for a long time if not before Obama took office.
2- These people just following the US and EU -NATO expansionisms and don’t care about even the word democracy. I highly recommend for democrats to ban their party and call it something else, like “national front of warmongers“ and let for those who are truly democrats to start a new party based on the social ethical and principals of the wording. At the same time I also highly recommend for Nobel peace institute to demand the Nobel peace given to Obama to be returned.., they have damaged their name by giving him such honor.
Define "mull" please. I thought that Shillary had made it clear that it's a done deal.
Look, America's broke. No gold, no siilver, even the Federal Reserve Notes are worthless when you consider the worth of the people as the commodity to prop up the dollar. DC came up with an idea. Force the people in the Mid East to sell their oil for dollars. Anyone looking to buy oil in the Mideast must first convert there currency into dollars. This creates a false value to the dollar.
Iraq, Iran and Libya balked at this. They wanted to sell oil for EU's. You know what that decision has cost them. By staging an over throw of Gadaffi and replacing him with a cooperative rebel, they can further insure their little game will continue to work. We don't need oil. We have more than enough but if put our oil on the market, DC's little game would come down lik a house of cards.
