A growing number of accounts across Tripoli suggest that both the NATO-backed rebels and the Gadhafi regime’s remnant forces are committing brutal atrocities in the Libyan capital, with evidence that each side has taken to massacring captives from the other side.
Reports from escaped regime prisoners say that the Gadhafi forces killed a number of captured rebels, while yesterday a number of regime troops were found bound and executed, the apparent victims of a rebel onslaught.
It doesn’t end there, either, as hundreds of bodies were found in a Tripoli hospital, apparently abandoned by doctors and staff when the fighting got too close. Some locals blamed the Gadhafi forces for killing a number of those inside.
Meanwhile, the rebel forces that took over Abu Salim, a neighborhood long held by regime-loyal troops, stacked the bodies of dark-skinned victims in a captured hospital of their own, claiming they were proof that the regime is using “mercenaries” from other African nations. The rebels have been accused of arresting black people under the assumption that they are all mercenaries, though many of their detainees appear to just be random migrant workers.
Obama's and NATO's victory…doesn't it just make you feel warm and cozy inside? Libya is free and democratic and women will have rights, good stuff. (Just don't talk about the dead).
Hmmm, Obama's "humanitarian intervention" turns out is simply another blood bath. With BOTH sides letting the blood run. Freely and everywhere. Golly, how "humanitarian" is that?
Dear Juanito Cole:
Piss up rope!
APRIL 2003 FLASHBACK:
Defense Secretary Rumsfeld asserted the chaos was not as bad as some television and newspaper reports have indicated and said there was no major crisis in the capital city, which lacks a central governing authority.
"Freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things," Rumsfeld said. "They're also free to live their lives and do wonderful things. And that's what's going to happen here."
The descent into anarchy, he suggested, was "part of the price" and not uncommon for countries that experience significant social upheaval. "Stuff happens," Rumsfeld said.
Stuff happens? Can I quote Rummy on that come the day "stuff happens" to he and his elite buddies when the dam breaks open on our shores?
I wonder how much coverage the MSM will give to the fact the rebel government in Libya that the US supported is rounding up black people, mostly innocent migrant workers, and killing them?
As much as I agree that both sides are likely comiting attrocities this article misses one key point.
It's likely that the majority of deaths and mutilations will come from NATO itself. Once again airpower is given a free ride. Now they are bombing Ghadaffi's home town. I'm sure this is to save civilian lives too, right?
It also seems likely that the new talk about WMD's and SAM's is simply a pretext to put some form of ground force in place.
Obama new what he was supporting along with the other lap dogs like France did.They had some type of oil deal to support the rebels.They will soon most likely be occupieing Lybia People that give up lyberty witch will start another war.Most the people that see whats been happening for years longer than since 9/11 that just helped them speed things up and spit on the constitution.I wonder how thinks this has made America safer the truth is there is probably 50 times the people that now want to harm the country but thats what they intended.Would not surprize me if they pull another even worse fauls flag.I hope it don't happen but most in the government are evil.People that give up lyberty for safety deserve neither.Can't remember what American president said it but is true.Eisenhower warned the people about the military industrial complex and many gave similar warnings people were just dumbed down and stoped careing.Now the country is bankrupt and being controlled by criminals of the worst kind.They are in there grave saying told you so.
Truth is western attack dogs are doing the killing and did it from the start. Our NATO countries are perpetrating war crimes and started an aggression against a sovereign state, disregarded UN resolution and brought havoc upon Lybia.
The story of going-to-happen massacres turned into real massacres from the bombings and from the going-to-be victims actions. Gaddafi's forces air strikes proved to be another western media disinformation, but NATO prides itself with a record number of ground attacks. Gaddafi's black mercenaries look more and more like simple dark colored lybians but the real mercenaries fighting alongside the rebels are never mentioned. From lies and deceit stems murder and injustice. Exactly what's happening now in Lybia so the fat cats of neocolonialist west to get fatter on lybian oil & gas wealth.
Why would any logical thinking man accept the "both sides" atrocities broken record, even if it would be true this time, after knowing the entire lybian criminal adventure was fueled by the most disgusting media lies campaign we've ever witnessed?
Both sides, riiiight.
Another NATO and its "allies" attrocity. Just like they did in Kosovo. NATO bombing unleashing all kinds of psychopaths, members of KLA crime gangs — all lovingly portrayed as "resistance". Never as just plain terrorists. So, another victory for NATO backed terror. In additon to the entire infrastructure of a country destroyed. Water desalinization plant, electrical grid, highways, bridges, schools, hospitals. All the billions that Libya invested in itself with their oil money, gone up in smoke. Now, oil will pay for "reconstruction", a booty to Western companies.
West cannot provide leadership to the world. Leadership cannot be based on attacking weak or deliberately weakened subjects, followed by an occupation and plunder. There has got to be a better way to manage this miserable planet.
So we are right back to April 2003 with Rumsfeld declaring that:
"Freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things. They're also free to live their lives and do wonderful things. And that's what's going to happen here.[…] Stuff happens."
Someone remind me about how unstable things were before the bombs dropped, hmmmm?
