Liberation?

We'll see.

Details... details... details... Nothing but a link for us to follow???

Not that I'm too lazy to follow the link but don't you need to provide some information on the subject and your opinion to be discussed...

"Liberation"???? Are you on drugs?

I didn't think it was unknown?

They reported that we sent "advisors" over and that top British military were helping out over there.
It was discussed on ATS a few times.

We saw videos where there were clearly British or American "helpers" stood around with Libyan "rebels"


I don't think that they would have toppled the regime if we hadn't gotten involved and not just air strikes ETC.


But yes, we'll see if it was a good thing in the near future I'm sure.

I have not been surprised since 9/11 - Bless those poor innocent soul's.

But seriously, we all knew this to be the case.

Anyone who took the time to look into Gaddafi, would have seen he was a more than fair leader,

The people had many privilege's that even western populations don't get the benefit of -ie- free electricity, free education, free housing, free healthcare, the best living standards in Africa, and a great example of a mostly Islamic country with "Equal" woman's rights.

With the boots on the ground, it just goes to prove the theory - that Col Gaddafi was overthrown and killed, because he refused to play ball with the "Economic Hit-men".

How long are we going to let our leader's get away with this crap??

Are we not empathetic to our Persian, African cousins?

Or the bottom line is..........

Is it ethical of us as individuals, to live lavish, wasteful materialistic lives,

At the expense of persecuting and killing people, installing and upholding dictatorships that are friendly to western Bankers interests.

Does anyone really get it? And if they do, why does it seem like nobody cares?

It can't go on like this.

I know you need boots on the ground to help with a no fly zone, but should we have been providing the rebels with equipment which was used and must have caused death to civilians on the opposition.

No we shouldn't...

Th odd thing about this "Conflict" was that the only civilians we had any concern over, were the civilians who wanted Gaddffi ousted.
The others that we bombed or gave weapons to the rebels to kill, didn't matter one bit.

This was supposed to be a mission to protect ALL civilians which is what the UN mandate stated, what actually happened is we helped one side wipe the other out using any means they so desired.


And then let a pack of animals rip Gaddaffi to pieces and shove a metal rod up his ass....

[sarc]
But Gaddaffi is gone... the people are happy and free now... everything is OK!![/sarc]

Prior to the 'liberation' Libya was a creditor to other African nations.....now it is a debtor to the IMF and other major western financial institutions.

And where are those other African nations going to have to go to now for credit?

The UK and US governments had developed a sort of understanding with Gadaffi.
Under Gadaffi Libya had been transformed from one of the poorest nations in the world to one with a high standard of living and quality of life.
Libya had long ceased funding and training terrorists.

I suspect most of our governments would have been perfectly willing to maintain the status quo, but their masters, the bankers, decided otherwise.

It won't take long for the intenecine tribal deiiferences and religious extremists to turn Libya into another Islamic hellhole.

Whose interests are being served here?

So where are all the people who were spouting off at the mouth that this was all a US operation and we caused all of it? Here it is in black and white that it was a British operation and people were claiming it was the US. It seems to me people love to cast the blame for everything that go's wrong in the world on the US. Sad really.
