British Foreign Secretary William Hague today downplayed the significance of Defense Secretary Liam Fox’s comments that the war in Libya can’t be won by the NATO-backed rebels, insisting it would continue no matter how long it needed to.
“It’s not a computer game where you are bored with it and you put it to one side,” Hague insisted. “No one should mistake our determination and unity in carrying this through to success.”
The underlying problem is that NATO nations, and Britain in particular are openly rejecting the notion of peace talks even as they talk up continuing the war. It was supposed to be a matter of days or weeks for the conflict – five months in some are now privately conceding that the war could last years.
Hague seemed quite confident that the war would continue no matter what, but did not address exactly how it would end. Secretary Fox’s guess was perhaps the most interesting – that NATO would just keep on with the war until some random coup happened that ousted the aging Gadhafi.
“No one should mistake our determination and unity in carrying this through to success.”..?
I do and I am not the only one questioning your "determination your unity and your success, Sir.
first of all there is no unity among "you" but you and French ministers whom are making money out of this and other wars.., those whom are paid by Arab Emirates and Saudis for you to “succeed” using their barbarians as your weapon in Libya. Second you are out of options, the NATO is out of options your unity is out of options, the only option you have is what you do in Libya using terrorism for your games.
Having said that: you are out of options because you don’t see the reality.., you and your colleagues are not capable to see that democracy is not your game nor it ever been, your game is what you do bombing innocent people destroying a country wanting for your thieves to rebuild it. You did that in Iraq and Afghanistan, rebuilding the country while billions of dollars been stolen by US and NATO contractors.
You are out of option Sir. Your last resort is your privet mercenaries in Libya and in Afghanistan and wherever your wars are.., the only unity that you might have is to be friend with Rasmussen and vacationing at his home in Denmark for in Italy with the Italian Mafioso itself, Berlusconi.
It's kind of hard to present a timeline IF you don't have a plan. It's the same old thing again. When the generals and politicians can't enumerate what success might look like then THEY DON'T HAVE A PLAN!!!!! It's just another "operational area" for the military (and their arms suppliers) to waste taxpayer treasure.
I keep trying to avoid looking at these operations as such but more and more the unstated goal seems to be little more than war against the Muslims. You know, George Bush's Crusade. When that first came out of Dubya's mouth – and was quickly downplayed and denied – one had to wonder if it was a slipup and that the real truth snuck out for a look-see. Look at the warmongers. Almost all of them are died-in-the-wool Super Christians (and their Likud friends who have their own agendas). A few years ago during the reign of Bush 43 there was a meme running rampant about the "End of Dayers" feeling pretty good about the way things were going. They were actually believing that Armageddon would happen in their lifetimes – tho they all hope and pray that anyway but they were giddy about it then. These are the people who seem to be pushing more and more conflict somewhere in the Muslim territories. The excuses that they're after al-Qaeda is weak.
I'd like to see what the history books say 500 years from now and how our time is viewed. I bet it won't be the way it's being presented now. I wonder if they'll have the minutes from Cheney's Energy meetings…
Another non-news news story. These NATO/US bastards are like the Roach Motel, they get in but they don't go out.
The british have been screwing up the middle east since 1872 when Lord Rothschild loans the british 4 million pounds to buy the bankrupt suez canal company. Twenty year later England occupied Egypt and shortly started attacking the Ottoman empire to give the Jews a homeland. At the end of WWI the british had been totally disgraced in the middle east with a full british army and general under arrest in Baghdad. The only success the british had was given by the arabs who the british promised a homeland but gave the land to the money people who funded the government. The british have been getting killed in large numbers in the middle east since 1872 and they will continue as long as they continue like the USA vote war mongers into office. It is all about greed with a few making a really lot of money. The few are willing to cripple thousand and kill many for their profit.
