'Mission accomplished' in Libya?

Freedom Politics
by Gene Healy

08/31/11

Mission accomplished! As Libyan rebels took Tripoli last week, liberals practically draped that banner across the nation s op-ed pages. Now was the time for all good men to come together and praise a famous victory. ... It's not clear what we have 'won' in Libya. But it is clear what we have lost: Whatever s left of the quaint notions that America should wage war only in defense of our vital interests and that presidential uses of military force can and should be constrained by law...

Libya And The World We Live In

By William Blum

The Holy Triumvirate - The United States, NATO and the European Union - can do whatever it wants in the world, to whomever it wants, for as long as it wants, and call it whatever it wants, like 'humanitarian'.

Al-Qaeda and Islamic Extremists Taking Over Libya

By Alex Newman

It appears that prominent Jihadists and terrorists are practically leading the revolution with Western support.

NATO s rhetoric on Libya 'most cynical propaganda': Russia's NATO Ambassador

Their commentaries suggest that 'dozens of thousands of bombs dropped on Libya hit the targets so accurately and gracefully that not a single hair stirred on the heads of ordinary Libyan citizens as the bombs flew over them' Rogozin said.

NATO faces 'catastrophic success' in Libya

In order to overthrow the Qadafi administration, foster a pro-West government and further control Libya, western countries will use any methods. Fair or foul, they do not care. Therefore, they have already failed in morality and justice.

Libyan game over?

The amount of extremist organizations, including al-Qaeda, in the ranks of Libyan opposition is very sufficient and it is very interesting to see how the West that is stating that they are enemies of Islamic extremists, how they are going to cope with this situation and what is going to happen there.

Democracy, Libya and the SAS

Libertarian Alliance
by David Webb

08/26/11

[T]his is no revolution in Libya. It is not the 'Libyan people,' but rather an SAS- and NATO-led operation to get rid of Gadaffi. Do we care who runs Libya? Do we know for sure the new Libya will be a democracy? The whole thing is repugnant...

Winners and losers in Libya and on Earth

Zero Gov
by Kaiser Leib

Foreign intervention is the pride of American policy. It has been our raison d etre for a century, beginning with the Spanish-American war in the late 1890s and continuing without meaningful interruption. The people of these united States are amenable to these constant entanglements, it seems, because our enlightened system of democracy allows us to decide what is best for the rest of the world. Our latest humanitarian effort is the destruction (and forthcoming rebuilding) of Libya...

Libya: a new breed of military intervention

High-level bombing, planning by low-level ground forces and a back seat for the US. This was no great victory for Nato.

Libya is the new Afghanistan

The worst-kept secret of the Libyan campaign is out - the SAS are busily hunting down Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, having orchestrated the rebels' stunning advance on Tripoli. So much for David Cameron s insistence that there would be no British boots on the ground in this conflict.

Getting Libya 'governed right'

C4SS Center for a Stateless Society
by David D'Amato

08/24/11

All of the rhetoric about opening Libya to 'free trade' and aiding in its 'development,' in the rebuilding process, will amount to big government contracts and access to a fresh cache of resources for privileged, Western multinationals. That framework is decidedly opposite what market anarchists mean by free markets. For the political class, with its banking cartel financing the whole enterprise of occupation, there nothing to do but cheerlead while people die. After all, Gadhafi is such a bad guy...

Crude analysis of Libyan liberation

CounterPunch

08/25/11

And guess what? It turns out that companies from the Western countries that eagerly rained tons of death-metal on the Libyan people are being given the inside track to the post-Gaddafi gusher. Meanwhile, countries that had urged caution in humanely intervening with thousands upon thousands of bombs, drones and missiles to, er, protect human life now face relegation to the outer darkness.'
