Criminal western forces led by global bully America -- with double standards and searing hypocrisies blazing -- are moving militarily on the OIL RESERVES of Libya. The only ruffle in their plans is Gaddafi’s declaration of a ceasefire, which delays but will not thwart western plans to appropriate North Africa’s wealth. The EXCUSE for military intervention is the West’s 'concern' for the safety of civilians. Obama, from Washington, ‘demanded an end to civilian killing(!)’ -- while making this statement Obama and other clowns in Washington expect the entire WORLD to IGNORE American Drones killing civilians almost daily and that notwithstanding the historical FACT that not one American or NATO member has ever been held accountable for the first civilian HOLOCAUST of the 21st Century in Iraq – which would NOT have occurred but for the US/NATO invasion!
Now is probably a good time to ask RUSSIA and CHINA if they are indeed world powers or paper nothings? This scenario is a global gambit and must be viewed as such.
We note the only period in modern history that experienced relative peace was during the ‘cold war’ when the superpowers were in standoff – well, ‘comrades,’ where are your balls today? Stand them down in no uncertain terms or forever wear the label COWARD. You FAILED miserably in the Balkans, are we witnessing a REPEAT performance in North Africa? That is the question most independent analysts are asking.
It is clear that the west seeks to either dominate the entire Libyan nation (plan A) or failing that, partition the Eastern region where the oil reserves are located (plan B) -- another illegal ‘Kosovo solution’ for the Eastern superpowers to choke on.
There is no substitute for action, ‘comrades,’ you pathetic laughing stocks!
"That means that all U.S. 'DRONE attacks' against civilians must stop"
'The CESSATION of ALL civilian killing in Pakistan and Afghanistan by US/NATO forces is NOT NEGOTIABLE ...' you got that you screaming HYPOCRITE, Obama?
missile strikes and air strikes are notoriously imprecise methods of attack and account for the highest number of civilian casualties, but that little fact will no doubt be played down by the Corporate western media.
Libya is just another Corporate criminal Oil War based on LIES in order to steal another nation's wealth.
If you are feeling a sense of déjà vu watching the U.S’ (and its “allies”’) bombing Libya, you are probably not alone. We have been here before: watching a hypocritical U.S (possibly the most brutal and murderous regime in history) bomb another murderous regime (that the U.S, U.K and Canada etc. of course very recently supported and helped to keep in power) under the false claim of helping “the people.”
This is the new mode of Empire; humanitarian imperialism masquerading as “humanitarian intervention.” One look at the facts demonstrates the brazen hypocrisy of this latest “humanitarian mission.” So here are some points to ponder:
The U.S has supported Gaddafi since at least the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Gadafi seemingly became a converted U.S stooge around the time of Saddam Hussein’s imminent demise.
Libya is an important supply of oil for Europe and the West, thus oil is primary motive;
The U.S and its allies do not care one bit about the Libyan people (or any people of that region) and are not there to help them;
The U.S remains silent and indirectly supports/funds the massacre of unarmed protestors in Bahrain by troops from Saudi Arabia;
Saudi Arabia is one of the U.S’ biggest allies though it arguably operates under the most fundamentalist and oppressive interpretation of Islam—so much for the U.S’ war against “Islamic fundamentalism.”
It appears you are only an Islamic fundamentalist, terrorist or brutal dictator if you do not willingly hand over control of your oil/resources to the U.S. and/or its allies.
Where was the U.S condemnation of a state attack on an unarmed concentrated civilian population, when the occupying Israeli State mercilessly attacked and bombarded the civilian population of Gaza with everything in their arsenal in 2008? This included internationally banned weapons such as white phosphorous and cluster bombs, in addition to depleted uranium—i.e waste from power plants; ironically and hypocritically, the release of which the world is currently fretting over in Japan. And let us not forget the over one million dead in Iraq from America’s ongoing “humanitarian intervention” there, and the fact that more radioactive material has been dumped on the people of Iraq from the use of D.U weapons than could ever be released from the six crippled reactors in Fukushima.
The hypocrisy is not the U.S’ alone. Russia recently condemned the bombing of Libya and called for its cessation; as did China. But don’t Russia and China have veto power in the U.N? If they are so concerned with the bombing of Libya, why did they allow it in the fist place?
Whether or not Gadaffi is a bad man and a despot is not the issue here, we can all assume that he is a domestic tyrant. But do international tyrants, whose hands are figuratively dripping with the blood and tears of the human misery of millions around the globe, have any right to claim moral superiority while creating more human misery in order to depose a leader that they very recently supported (in order to gain strategic control over the resources of his country, whatever the human cost)?
Yes, sadly this is all too familiar, as the plans for attacking Libya and regime change there has likely been on the Pentagon’s to do list since at least when George W. Bush’s administration included Libya as one of the original failed/rogue states that comprised the “axis of evil.” All that is needed is a pretext to “intervene.”
The people’s uprisings and resultant state violence are being exploited by the U.S imperial power. The Empire is using Arab and North African uprisings to its advantage; it duplicitously intervenes on the “behalf” of certain people in revolt and/or resistance while helping to oppress and murder others (i.e in Bahrain, Yemen, Gaza). The blatant hypocrisy can only leave one dumbfounded and indignant!
