Libyan General Khalifa Hifter’s rhetoric is shifting to more closely mirror that of the US Embassy today, insisting his move is targeting “terrorists” and not just general Islamists.
Gen. Hifter, whose self-proclaimed National Army seized parliament on Sunday, urged the international community to endorse and take part in his “war on terror,” saying parliament had turned Libya into a “state sponsor of terrorism.”
He called on the nation’s Constitutional Council to move to establish a “crisis government” that would empower him to continue operations against the Islamists, saying his military was a “safety valve” against the corrupt parliament.
Hifter also insisted the operation would continue for the foreseeable future, insisting his army would reamin on the offensive nationwide until they “rid the country of all terrorists.”
This must be a CIA operation. ?
Here we go again, the word “terrorist” is being used to justified the take over of a county. Just a reminder, the General is a trained CIA terrorist.
During the Cold War, everyone who wanted US money and arms knew to make noises about how they were fighting 'communists'. Make a couple of speeches about 'communists', and suddenly lawyers, guns and money would start to arrive. Same today, different '-ist'. But the same easy touch into American taxpayers wallets.
In other words, if such things aren't CIA ops to begin with, they quickly become so.
Yankee go home already.
