Libya and the International Community

Another battlefront in the Islamic world

from JoeUser Forums

One one really likes the Col and he is an unsavory sort of fellow. A megalomaniac with vision of grandeur extending throughout North Africa. It appears that al-jazeera is extremely influential; in the Arabic world just as I pointed out in an earlier blog. However, this channel is successful against secular dictators and is making no headway in countries like Saudi Arabia in which repression is a way of life.

Col Gadaffi is unlikely to give in to the US backed EU enforced no-fly zone. Bengazi is right now on the verge of falling to Col Gaddaffi's troops and since the US has ruled out ground troops, the no fly zone will only lead to civilian casualties which will turn the world opinion against the intervention. The only gainer from this ill advised move is al qaeda which will now have yet another cause to trumpet. With allhis failings, the Col like Saddam Hussain had kept Islamic terrorism firmly under control and his weakening will only result in North Africa becoming another war zone. Already the civilian casualties have  started increasing and the hospitals have started showing signs of overstretch.

The intervention in Libya is ill timed and will further erode US credibility in the Arab world.

I regretted the decision the moment it was made.

USA has supported Sarkozy in this mad venture and Sarkozy is being goaded on by a left leaning "philosopher" Henri Levy.  do not know what went wrong between Qaddaffi anf Nicolas Sarkozy. Afterall it was France that took a lead in getting the international comunity to readmit Libya after the Lockerbee episode. The NATO forces are killing with utter impunity in Misrata in order to blame Col Qaddaffi. Daisy cutters are being used against civilians and everone knows that the Col does not have this partocular weapon.

Your world view is way to simplistic. The UK and France want Libya to extract oil.

Simpistic or not, what I ahve said is the hard reality and with the drone attacks being mounted on the Libyas and Misrata under constant barrage from nato FORCES LET US SEE WHAT happens. I think USA will regret its ill considered decision.

By Simplistic, I do not mean absolutely wrong.  But your simplicity is to believe that all things evil, America is pulling the strings.  in this case, Obama IS the puppet and is dancing to the strings of Sarkozy and Brown.  I know that is beyond your realm of comprehension, but it is happening.  Regardless of the repercussions, your premise is flawed, so the rest of your strawman is invalid.  That does not mean that your predictions of doom and gloom are wrong as the actions are still being done - but the puppet master is not your favorite whipping boy, and so you cannot come back later and say "See?  I told you so" since I can be just as foretelling by proclaiming the sun will rise tomorrow and it will be all due to Obama.

the sun will rise, but I am hardly correct in the rest of my statement, just as you are flat out wrong in yours.

You seem to have a crystal ball that tells you the inner workings of presidents and prime ministers. I go only by facts and not self proclaimed grand standing. So for you Obama is a puppet for he is just as complicit as "Brown" probably you mean Cameron.

I go only by facts

No you do not, or you would not be comparing Libya to Iraq.  You go by your own preconceived ideas and ignore facts that conflict with it.

There are a great many contradictions inthe present policy. UK mounted a rescue/relief mission which was captured by the very men the mission had been sent to help. Libya got a a propaganda windfall as a result. Obama has no real reason to get into the Libyan mess except a death wish to go down the road of George Bush. The Libyan misadventure will push up the price of petrol, a situation USA cannot afford. Sarkozy will not be reelcted and so he came in with a whimper but wants to exit wuth abang.

JUST AS I PREDICTED NIKOLAS SARKOZY IS DEFEATED TODAY.
