After the lies about Saddam's WMD, the spin around the drone-slaughter in Afghanistan and Pakistan, now we have claims that Ghaddafi is using cluster bombs against the rebels (I don't see much use of the word 'insurgent') aided and abetted by the USA, UK and France. The Libyan government denies this claim as being lies and western propaganda. Where is the truth? After a close examination of the facts, who to believe? The Libyan "rebels" attacked by Gaddafi are exactly what? Hard to say - some are foreign mercenaries and some Islamist fundamentalists. And why is NATO so worried about keeping the sea connection open to Misurata? To help the "civilians"? Does NATO know that the leader of the rebels was arrested in Pakistan for belonging to Al-Qaeda and for fighting against American and British troops. He was shipped back to Libya where he was imprisoned (Ghadaffi was the first leader to outlaw Al-Qaeda). The "rebels" do not like Ghadaffi because he called the Moslem veil a "tent", because he had a confrontation with Islamist elders on TV and because he has stated Islamism is not the way forward. And for the reasons mentioned above. So they accuse Ghaddafi of using cluster bombs. Interesting, when the USA, UK and France are trying to convince other NATO countries to intervene. Libya, like the USA, has not banned this type of weaponry, which was deployed by NATO in Iraq, and the USA sponsored Israelis in Lebanon. The western media more and more are in hock to the war lobby.

"in hock to the war lobby".
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind my friend.
The MSM is complicit into sending the West into these illegal wars.
They employ X Generals as commentators, who are actually working for the MIC.
When the Media, the Government, and the Military are acting as one.
Then that is called Fascism, in my book.
Our Media reports from the same tele-prompter as does the Pentagon, and the White House.
They got away with it in Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Please do not let them get away with it in Libya.
Will we ever learn from history?
I guess not.
Oh and to answer your question. :-)
ReplyDeleteNO ! ! !
US/NATO was set up to be a protector of Free Nations.
It is now an aggressor, invader, occupier, and colonist, of sovereign nations.
