Speaking today on BBC Radio 4, British Defense Secretary Liam Fox conceded that the ongoing NATO-backed rebellion in Libya was unlikely to result in the ouster of Moammar Gadhafi, admitting to a “military stalemate” on the ground.
This might sound like bad news, particularly with top leadership from a number of NATO member nations pledging to continue the war until Gadhafi’s ouster. Fox however, suggested an alternative strategy: hoping for a palace coup.
“The key for the Libyan resolution will be whether or not the close circle around Colonel Gadhafi realize there’s no point in investing in him,” insisted Fox. In the meantime, it seems, NATO will just continue on with a war that it doesn’t believe is winnable.
NATO attacked Libya on March 19, and has repeatedly escalated their role in the conflict, nominally to “break the stalemate.” Since NATO’s involvement in the war began, the net result has been a slight loss of territory for the rebels.
Dumb! Dumb! Dumb! If the "war" is not winable, why not stop the "war". What sort of kookies are running NATO? NATO nor the UN should intercede in any civil war. Let the people determine who should govern a country. All countries are not on the same positiion on their time-line toward an improved society and the Western democratic model should not be imposed on others.
Fox blathers the very definition of insanity. However, Fox seems worlds of happy with "stalemate" and gosh doesn't that sound like the Afghaniscam "strategy."
Are the 'trained military professionals' really this stupid? I fully realise my question becomes rhetorical. Oxymoronic?
The neo – cons (Including Obama/ Hillary Clinton) new policies is based on dividing people in middle east where they are using tribes against another tribe in Syria so as in Lebanon and as well as in Libya.., if something good comes out of this neo – policies so is good for US/NATO.., where they have found their new puppet all around.., if not then they will try to kill the legitimate leader of countries that they are involved in or orchestrate a Coup De Etta. Look, the US/NATO agenda in middle east is about to occupy entire middle east (From Lebanon to Iran) militarily.., we have said that from beginning, since 2006 and Israel attacking Lebanon they (US/NATO) started realizing the fact that is not going to happen so by Barack Hussein Obama being elected they have changed their strategy into a political move dividing people in named countries.., in the other hand their neo fascism tactics haven’t got them anywhere.., so they try terrorists groups all over the middle east and now Libya wishing for something to happen.
During Bush regime they used all kind of terrorist groups both in Afghanistan and Iraq.., now under Obama doctrine they are doing the same knowing that they are not going to get anywhere.., so asking for someone to kill Kaddafi or start a Coup de Etta is because they running out of options.., non of these regimes involved in Libya are NOT democratic therefore they use everything they got to get where they want.., and that is to implement a barbarian regime which they can benefit from.., now if that’s going to happen now or later time will tell, but for now they are in war because some of their ministers and senators are making money off of this and other wars.., oil companies are in line for a new contract for Libyan oil and other countries in Africa, Libya is a opening for US/NATO militarism regimes to enter.

How about putting that shoe on the other foot i.e maybe the pragmatic folks close to Lil Bonoparte ,Black Caesar,The English Bastard and that Wahabi Goat Abdullah, realize the folly of continuing to invest in them! eh Mr Fox and maybe you too!,some not so nice "fundamentalist terriers on your tail"(pun intended) might help to correct your thinking.
How does Libya a geographically large country, with a relatively tiny population
of around 8 million people, frustrate the enormous military might of the United States,
Britain, France, NATO, and the coalition of the wicked,
whose nations total hundreds of millions of people?
