Allies of the North Atlantic Terror Treaty Organization (NATO) are continuing their reign of terror in Libya established last year.

A report released last week by Middle East human rights groups presents extensive evidence of war crimes carried out in Libya by the United States, NATO and their proxy “rebel” forces during last year’s war, which brought down the regime of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.
US President Georg Bush and UK ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair have both been found GUILTY of "crimes against peace" for their 2003 invasion of Iraq in a tribunal in Malaysia, spearheaded by that nation’s former Prime Minister.
This tribunal finding gives hope that US President Obama, French President Sarkozy and UK Prime Minister Cameron will one day be found guilty of war crimes for their murderous bombing of civilians in Libya.
Here you have it.
This is what 6 months of bombing of civilians by NATO was all about.
This article from Russia Today highlights the lies and hypocrisy of NATO and the West very well.
The war criminal trio Obama, Sarkozy and Cameron originally attacked and bombed Libya with the "humanitarian" mission of "protecting civilians". Now that their mission is all but accomplished, the truth is there for all to see. Now that the boot is on the other foot, so to speak, there is no talk of protecting civilians from the NTC. On the contrary, NATO is doing all it can to assist the anti-Gaddafi NTC rebels to attack towns with large civilian populations, yet using weapons like anti-aircraft guns that are highly indiscriminate.
"The only independent journalists in Libya were besieged in Libya for a week by NATO-backed Al-Qaida terrorists who waged all-out war against the people of Tripoli."

"The London Guardian quoted [former] State Department official Heather Hurlburt admitting what should be widely known; namely that:
'I have not seen a whole lot of effort to keep defining this in humanitarian terms.'"
"Having already stolen an estimated $150 billion of Libyan government money the West is trying to pressure China to release another $5 billion."

As well as committing War Crimes by bombing civilians, NATO is using child soldiers as young as 7 in Libya. This is another War Crime to be chalked up against NATO.
The beauty of War Crimes is that they must be committed by individuals (ie, not a faceless regime or parliament) and therefore these crimes will one day be laid at the door of Barack Obama, David Cameron, Nicolas Sarkozy, William Hague, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Silvio Berlusconi and the like.
At present, the NATO combatants are occupied in an unseemly race to carve up Libya's oil and gas wealth and other resources among themselves. But make no mistake, Messrs Obama, Cameron, Sarkozy et al! The industrial-military complex for which you are the cynical poodles will not protect you forever. One day you will pay for your sins individually. May God have mercy on your souls.
After 5 months of NATO's bombing of military personnel and civilians in Libya, the Libyan government has today struck back as promised by detonating a sizable bomb in Oslo, Norway, between the Oil Ministry and a government building housing the prime minister, presumably regarded as a command and control centre. Norway is a member of NATO and has been actively participating in the NATO campaign against Libya. Like most of the other participants, Norway has major interests in the oil industry.

This article is not written by me. It is not written by any crackpot conspiracy theorist. It is written by Dr Paul Craig Roberts who was Assistant Secretary to the US Treasury in the Reagan Administration, Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal, Senior Research Fellow in the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and held the William E. Simon Chair in Political Economy, Center for Strategic and International Studies, Georgetown University. I suggest you read it.

- Pakistan, 2002-03 -- bombed by US planes several times as part of combat against the Taliban and other opponents of the US occupation of Afghanistan
- China, 1999 -- its heavily bombed embassy in Belgrade is legally Chinese territory, and it appears rather certain that the bombing was no accident
- France, 1986 -- After the French government refused the use of its air space to US warplanes headed for a bombing raid on Libya, the planes were forced to take another, longer route; when they reached Libya they bombed so close to the French embassy that the building was damaged and all communication links knocked out.
- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, May 13, 1985 -- A bomb dropped by a police helicopter burned down an entire block, some 60 homes destroyed, 11 dead, including several small children. The police, the mayor's office, and the FBI were all involved in this effort to evict a black organization called MOVE from the house they lived in.
"We might ask ourselves how we would be reacting if Iraqi commandos landed at George W. Bush’s compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body in the Atlantic."

If the WIP (Western Imperialist Powers) succeed in their mission of regime change in Libya, expect:
~ the new central bank to join the BIS (Bank for International Settlements)
~ the nationalized oil industry to get sold off to investors
~ education and health care no longer to be free

No doubt the same expression exists in many languages: "History repeats itself." It is undoubtedly true. A similar sentiment probably inspired George Santayana to observe: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Yet seldom does history repeat itself on its own anniversary. Recently we have had several examples of just that.
Nuclear crisis in Japan (March 2011), recalls a similar nuclear crisis at Three Mile Island in the USA (March thirty-two years ago).
America attacks Libya (19 March 2011), retells the American-led attack on Iraq (19 March eight years ago).
The West bombs Libya (2011), completes the circle of the very first bombing from the air ever, by Italy in Libya one hundred years ago in 1911.
One war could be an accident. Two wars just might be carelessness. Three wars starts to looks like criminal negligence. Four wars* is a war crime.

"Iran has a long history of attempting to meddle in the affairs of other countries."

meddle (verb): interfere
affairs (noun): business
The Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi likes to use colourful language. In a recent speech he said that the US-led attack on Libya is by "a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history." Assuming that this is an accurate translation from the Arabic, these thirteen words offer four different expressions that English learners would do well to know:
a bunch of
This common expression means "a group of" or "a collection of", for example a bunch of carrots. It is often used pejoratively, for example: "What a bunch of liars those politicians are!"
fascists
A fascist is someone who rules in an authoritarian, nationalistic and right-wing way; and prior to this century the prime example was Adolf Hitler.
end up
This useful phrasal verb (to end up) means to finish or arrive at a final situation, like the end of a story. (Last night John got drunk and ended up crashing his car.)
in the dustbin of history
A dustbin is a trashcan, the place where you put garbage, and by this expression Gaddafi means that the leaders of the Western countries attacking Libya - specifically Obama of the USA, Sarkozy of France and Cameron of the UK - will not be remembered and honoured by history, rather they will be ignored and forgotten like trash.

When Israel bombed Gaza at the end of 2008 in a brutal action which killed 1,300 people and destroyed 20,000 buildings, there was no question of the US allowing the UN to impose a no-fly zone over Gaza to protect its people, 50% of which are children...
