Obama sends drones to Libya as Britain readies troops
Tags: LIBYA
President Barack Obama, together with his British and French counterparts, Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, issued an open letter last week spelling out that their joint military campaign against the country would continue until it achieved the toppling of Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi and that any other outcome than regime change would represent an "unconscionable betrayal."
It is in this context that Obama’s order to use pilotless warplanes over Libya assumes ominous implications.
The "unique" and "additional capabilities" that Washington is introducing into the Libyan intervention is the ability to carry out targeted assassinations.
Webmaster's Commentary:
These alleged "targeted assassinations" create one hell of a lot of collateral damage in terms of civilian deaths, as evidenced by the use of drone attacks in Pakistan.
But of course, Libyan civilians are expendable to Obama and the Western powers conducting this military campaign, even though they have wrapped this operation in a by now blood-soaked "humanitarian flag".
The Western "Newspeak" on this is that we are "protecting" Libyan civilians by killing them, and leaving those left standing to enjoy the fruits of depleted uranium exposure, which will inevitably cause massive cancers and horrendous birth defects for their kids, just as happened in Falluja, Iraq.
It's all about the oil, keeping China out of the Mediterranean, and the water.
The stench of this collective hypocrisy is enough to make thinking, moral people absolutely ill.
