  • S Secret Ground War in Libya
    NATO’s Secret Ground War in Libya By Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya Region: Middle East & North Africa Global Research, May 16, 2011 Theme: US NATO War Agenda 16 May 2011 In-depth Report: ARAB PROTEST MOVEMENT The War on Libya – PART III In Part I of this text, the events which led up and set the backdrop for the present conflict in Libya were discussed. Part II examined the central role of media distortion and misinformation in justifying the NATO war on “humanitarian grounds”. The following text examines US-NATO war plans and intelligence operations pertaining to Libya, prior to the onset of the insurrection in Eastern Libya and the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1973. From the outset, the conflict in North Africa was intended to lead into an all out NATO war. The Pentagon and NATO are not only arming the Transitional Council in violation of international law, they also had forces on the ground from the start. Libya and the Imperial Re-Division of Africa The Media War on Libya: Justifying War through Lies and Fabrications – by Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya – 2011-05-02 Foreign Forces Were on the Ground in Libya prior to any type of U.N. Approval U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973 only passed, because Moscow and Beijing abstained. This was a tactical move meant to limit the war. If the resolution had been vetoed by Russia and China, in all likelihood, the U.S., Britain, France, Italy (and the Western European members of NATO) would have resorted to “other means,” including an outright invasion.

    1 Burning Down the House: How the Iraq War Will Affect the International System Project on Defense Alternatives Briefing Report #15 Carl Conetta 6 May 2003 I stir up and arm all Syria. I march on Damascus and Aleppo. As I advance, my army will increase with the discontented. I proclaim the abolition of slavery and of the tyrannical government of the pashas. I reach Constantinople with armed masses and overthrow the Turkish Empire. Perhaps I return to Paris by way of Adrianople, or by Vienna, after having annihilated the Habsburgs of Austria. Napoleon Bonaparte, 1799, on the eve of the last failed assault on Acre1 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind; it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. Hosea 8:7 The conventional phase of the battle for Iraq has been won at the cost of thousands of military and civilian dead and at least $45 billion in wealth consumed or destroyed.2 Now that the war is won, the issue of special weapons seems secondary. The hunt for weapons goes on and may be successful, but victory has opened the door on new difficulties in Iraq and beyond. This essay examines some of the repercussions of the war. It focuses specifically on its broader systemic effects -- that is: how the war will affect the functioning and evolution of the international system. The essay traces these effects to an increased US emphasis on unilateralism, coercive diplomacy, pro-active military operations, and regime change.
