Western Déjà vu: ‘Liberating Libyan’

Posted on March 26, 2011 by rehmat1|

American proxy Crusaders (Britain, France, Germany and Canada) have liberated over 1,000 Libyan civilians from their lives and pushed over 300,000 Libyans to take refuge in the neighboring Arab countries, in order to escape the western carpet-bombing of Libyan cities since they started the ‘no fly-zone’ (humanitarian) operation aka Odyssey Dawn aka Mission Creep on March 19, 2011.

While the ‘Crusaders’ say that their ultimate goal is to remove Muammar al-Qaddafi from power – The ‘pope’ Obama who initiated the regime-change in Libya a few weeks ago, has made a 180-degree-turn. On March 25, 2011, White House press secretary Jay Carney said that ”it’s up to the Libyan people to decide if Gaddafi should go”.

According to Italian journalist Franco Bechis, plans to spark the Benghazi rebellion were initiated by French intelligence services in November 2010.

Now, as result of Crusaders’ failure to force Qaddafi to escape to Venezuela or Cuba and the open criticism of this latest ‘highway robbery’ to loot the Libyan vast oil resources – the US has given NATO the mandate to implement the ‘no fly-zone’ over Libya while the warmongering anti-Muslim western powers keep their bombardment on Libyan civilian areas in order to liberate tens of thousands of more Libyans. They have a very good record of liberating the civilians from the West’s ‘unfriendly rulers’ in Afghanistan (over 100,000 dead and over two million living as refugees in Pakistan and Iran since October 2001) and Iraq (over one million dead and countless made refugees sin March 2003).

French President Nicolas Sarkozy (born to a Jewish mother and Catholic father) had no problem with Qaddafi until July 2008 – when Qaddafi refused to attend a conference in Paris to launch a Mediterranean Union of 27 EU and 17 non-EU Mediterranean countries. The aim was to make the US-controlled NATO a warlord over the Mediterranean. The Arab League idiots now by calling for regime-change in Libya – have opened the flood gates for not only the domination of Muslim world by western nations through NATO but also threat to China, Russia, Brazil, India and South Africa.

In war on Libya – according to US military sources, AFRICOM had flown 336 air sorties, 108 of them launching strikes and 212 conducted by the U.S. The operations included 162 Tomahawk cruise missile attacks.

Turkey, the only Muslim member of NATO alliance, has objected to military action against Libya as it doesn’t conforms to UNSC resolution – and NATO to replace the US as the commander of the on-going missile attacks on Libyan cities. However, behind the scences, NATO’s top commanders have visited both Cairo and Ankara to pressure the pro-US local military commanders to come on board. Turkish parliament met behind closed doors on Thursday to debate a mandate broad in scope that would permit Turkish participation in any future NATO-led operation. 

The defeat and conquest, directly or by proxy, of Libya would secure not only vast oilfields to western oil companiesa but also secure a key outpost for the Pentagon and NATO on the Mediterranean Sea to launch its future wars on Syria, Lebanon and Yemen for Israel.

(In private,) STATE & DoD officials: "We don't want Libya to distract us from more important challenges in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain & Yemen..."

Via Friday-Lunch-Club

"the pattern for recent wars fought by the US – Afghanistan, Iraq – has been that in their initial phases they attract instant Congressional and popular support. The difficult questions are deferred to later. In the case of Libya, President Obama’s decisions have from the inception faced a barrage of public questions relating to constitutionality, definition of mission, command and control, cost, exit strategy, and so on. Many of these come from his potential presidential challengers in 2012 and have a predictable quality to them. But there is also palpable unease among prominent Democrats. Skepticism in Congress is growing and popular support is thin. In the House of Representatives, it is likely that that the Republican majority will hold hearings that will highlight the views of those opposed to the Libyan action. Behind the scenes, his military advisers are deeply divided on how far to push Obama’s repeated statements that the endgame must involve Qaddafi’s ouster. A key question under debate is whether to arm the rebels. In private conversations with us, senior State Department and Pentagon officials worry that, even if Libya turns out better than expected, it distract attention from more important challenges in the Middle East represented by Yemen, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. A White House official commented privately to us: “The President knows that he has taken a risk. It remains to be seen whether the reward will be worth the risk.” Obama is now engaged on a blizzard of Congressional briefings and will deliver a national address on March 28th. Our assessment is that Obama needs a breakthrough on the battlefield or Gaddafi’s departure to resolve these doubts. If that happens, he would transform his standing. Short of that, his presidency has entered another perilous phase..... If Libya does not reach an early resolution, Obama’s authority will weaken further. This raises yet again the question of the efficacy of American governance – one of our themes for 2011."

Ayman Nour Calls for Revision of Israel Peace Treaty

Author: WebsiteTeam Network

Opposition leader Ayman Nour said Sunday that "the role of the Camp David accord has ended" after the Egyptian army stressed it was committed to observing all of Egypt's international treaties.

In an interview with a Lebanese radio station, Nour, who served a lengthy jail sentence during deposed president Hosni Mubarak's era, said Egypt "is a great country and must respect its agreements. As for Camp David – this is a unique issue with unique aspects – the people will decide on this matter."For all intents and purposes, Camp David is over, because it is an old treaty and its terms must be improved in a way that will correspond with Egypt's interests," said Nour, who is considered one of the more liberal opposition figures and has no ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

"The Egyptian rights must be improved, because these rights - as they appear in the Camp David accord – are very modest," he said. As of now Nour is the only political figure to challenge the army's position vis-à-vis international treaties. He has relatively little clout within the opposition.

"Camp David is over!"

"The Camp David accord is over," Dr. Ayman Nur, leader of the Tomorrow Party who is planning to seek candidacy in the Egyptian presidential elections, told Egyptian radio. His remarks were carried by Israel's Channel 2. "Egypt must at least renegotiate the terms of the accord," said Nur, who spent years incarcerated in Egyptian prison and was released with the help of U.S. intervention.
Nur is not a member of the radical Muslim Brotherhood, but rather a secular liberal. His remarks contradicted the military's statement on Saturday reassuring its international allies that there would be no break in its peace deal with Israel..."
