Britain, the U.S., France, Canada and Italy were all launching strikes tonight according to U.S.

Tonight, British forces are in action over Libya. They are part of an international coalition that has come together to enforce the will of the United Nations and to support the Libyan people.
'We have all seen the appalling brutality that Colonel Gaddafi has meted out against his own people. And far from introducing the ceasefire he spoke about, he has actually stepped up the attacks and the brutality that we can all see...

White House appears to be preparing for a second option: the country’s virtual partition, which would allow the Western-supported National Transitional Council to become the de facto government of Libya’s oil-rich eastern territory...

PRODUCTION OPEC member Libya produces 1.6 million barrels of oil per day. It is the 17th-largest producer in the world, the third-largest producer in Africa and holds the continent's largest crude oil reserves....

Over 85 percent of its crude exports go to Europe...

Trade and Italian government sources said on Tuesday oil flows from Libyan ports were disrupted by a lack of communications...

The Gulf state supplies around 10 percent of the world's oil and also holds most of the world's spare capacity at around 3-4 million barrels a day. It is the only producer able to respond quickly with large volumes of oil to compensate for a serious outage...

The U.S., British and French governments don’t care about freedom, democracy or the use of violence. They have employed limitless violence for centuries against the people of the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America who suffered the scourge of colonialism and foreign occupation. The interests of the imperialists are exclusively predatory...

I'm trying to factor this 'grab for oil resources' into the geopolitical scenarios I am reading. Something is very much amiss in this Libya story--maybe it's the fault of the mainstream media, or maybe it is a much larger move by the NWO powers.

I'm not quite clear on who's supporting Kadhafi, and who's opposing him. I have read accounts that Israel is supplying him with African mercenaries that they have hired (and probably trained and work closely with in other African countries), and they are making a huge profit from this deal with Kadhafi.

But Israel is supposed to be an ally of the US. So why is Israel doing this, and the US is trying to bash Kadhafi's regime into the dustbowl of history?

Hatha , you are well read and thinker, I read all your posts, your analysis is good.
Me too on this, very confusing but, how about fund all sides , goad all sides, Libya is an artificial country, 3 tribes, it is a civil war, who armed the eastern tribe, Egypt, Israel, they get a response from Tripoli and that is used as an excuse, don't be surprised if the African mercenaries are being sold to both sides by Israel,
Israel did crap like that in Yugoslavia too bringing in Jihadists. Israel also shows itself to be in control
of Muslims and Africans through this behavior being able to pull off crimes like this.

From Wayne Madsen, good links,
Israel wants to exempt itself from prosecution for providing rebel child mercenary soldiers.

http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/

"# Israel supplied mercenaries to Qaddafi. Global CST, an Israeli firm, provided mercenaries from Chad. No wonder Israel's "other UN ambassador" -- Susan Rice -- sought an exemption for third parties in referral of Libya to International Criminal Court."

At UN, Rice Defends Libya Resolution's ICC Carve Out, Calls Mercenaries Small

By Matthew Russell Lee

UNITED NATIONS, March 1, updated -- The Obama administration's demand to exempt from the UN Security Council's referral of the situation in Libya to the International Criminal Court citizens of nations which are not members of the ICC was criticized Tuesday by Brazil and even Liechtenstein's Ambassador, then strangely defended by US Ambassador Susan Rice.

Thanks for the links XIMMY, this is the first I am seeing about the attacks,
I did not think they would for some reason, I think the US even stated that.
Whats the game here ? It goes way beyond oil.

This is not about oil. There is plenty of oil in many places.

This is about building the opposing forces for the final battle. You have to think out 20 moves in advance, in a good chess game.

Like you guys said, there is some obscurity going on here... but I think the foundational issue is to secure oil to our European allies should SHTF... Insuring stability for production & military forces in Europe.

Who is behind this:

note Germany is staying away, and germany wants to end euro and replace with Deutschmark.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-11935973

neither is there support of Russia or China...

It is a purely Western phenomena

I found internet links of Israeli and British forces secretly supporting the rebels

and US initially supporting Qaddafi...

so I think this whole thing was planned

it is not a popular (commoner) uprising.

I read that we (Westerners) have failed to demonize Iran so they looked for another scapegoat...

so I suspect the reasons are the same as for originally going after Iran...

which themselves were/are vague...

It needs to be said, but somehow never is in the establishment US media, whether corporate or not-for-profit, that Iran historically is not an aggressive, expansive nation (can that be said with a straight face about our own country?). Though it is, by dint of its oil reserves and its population, one of the biggest and most powerful countries in the Middle East, Iran has not invaded another country since the 18th century, and there is no indication that it plans to invade any other country now.

Makes me come back to the simple idea of profits from oil...

Oil companies may be angry that Banks are taking so much money from the world's workers, so they want their shares increased...

Our world knows no greater profit making monsters other than Banks and Oil... it is they who control government policies and the war machines...

Maybe they are trying to get people used to the idea that we can intervene in any country we choose, and get the co-operation of the 'world community'. So, everyone who opposes us is opposed by the whole world. This would conveniently isolate any country we didn't like--or ones that Israel doesn't like, such as Iran, and if we attack them on any pretext or pretense, nobody will get too excited. Sort of like ratcheting up the temperature on the frogs swimming in the pot. And Israel is just using this as an opportunity to make money, and keep the goyim fighting with each other and too busy to watch what Israel is doing.

Soon, it will be an everyday event that 'a coalition led by the US' attacks some country who (falsely) provokes them. The Global Bully--the 'One World Government'. We should all be used to it, and desensitized pretty soon. The NWO is not coming any more. It's here. I'd very much like to know who the 'Grand Puppeteer' is.

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/03/21/kucinich-obama-could-be-impeached-for-attacking-libya/

Kucinich also released a statement on his website Friday questioning the constitutionality of the president's actions.

"The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation," he insisted.

"While the action is billed as protecting the civilians of Libya, a no-fly-zone begins with an attack on the air defenses of Libya and Qaddafi forces. It is an act of war. The president made statements which attempt to minimize U.S. action, but U.S. planes may drop U.S. bombs and U.S. missiles may be involved in striking another sovereign nation. War from the air is still war."

"Congress should be called back into session immediately to decide whether or not to authorize the United States’ participation in a military strike. If it does not, the action of the President is contrary to U.S. Constitution. Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution clearly states that the United States Congress has the power to declare war. The President does not. That was the Founders’ intent," the Ohio congressman added.

"The last thing we need is to be embroiled in yet another intervention in another Muslim country. The American people have had enough. First it was Afghanistan, then Iraq. Then bombs began to fall in Pakistan, then Yemen, and soon it seems bombs could be falling in Libya. Our nation simply cannot afford another war, economically, diplomatically or spiritually," Kucinich concluded.

Former presidential candidate Ralph Nader also said the president was committing "war crimes" in the attack against Libya.

"Why don't we say what's on the minds of many legal experts; that the Obama administration is committing war crimes and if Bush should have been impeached, Obama should be impeached," Nader told Democracy Now! Thursday.

I wonder how long Turkey will remain in NATO? Anyway I think the main reason they are resisting a NATO command, is because Khadaffi was good for Turkish business, thousands of Turks, and big Turkish companies went to Libya for construction projects mainly...

Libyan rebels have retreated from the key oil port of Ras Lanouf along the coastal road after coming under heavy shelling from ground forces loyal to leader Moammar Gadhafi.

NATO planes flew over the zone of the heaviest fighting Wednesday and explosions were heard, suggesting a new wave of airstrikes against Gadhafi's forces.

In nearby Brega, however, there was no sign of any aerial bombardment.

"They're waiting for those airstrikes," CBC News reporter Margaret Evans said. "What they're fleeing here are Gadhafi forces, flying down the highway. "There's quite a panicked scene in front of me."

By late afternoon local time, Gadhafi's forces had taken the key oil towns of Ras Lanouf and Bin Jawad and were pushing the rebels back toward Brega.

"We don't know why they're not here," rebel soldier Moftah Mohammed, 36, said of the lack of airstrikes. "Our forces are mainly on the side of the main road. We've heard Gadhafi's forces are pushing deep into the desert" in an attempt to head off rebel forces. "We don't want to be stuck in the middle of that."

Rebel Col. Abdullah Hadi said he expected the loyalists to enter Brega by Wednesday night.

"I ask NATO for just one aircraft to push them back. All we need is air cover and we could do this. They should be helping us," Hadi said.

As the fighting approached Adjabiya, residents fled from the western side of the city, and the highway east to Benghazi was filled with families in vehicles packed with their belongings.

NATO airstrikes have neutralized Gadhafi's air force and pounded his army, but the government's ground forces remain far better armed, trained and organized than the opposition.

They have also adopted new tactics, a U.S. intelligence official said, fitting civilian vehicles with battle weapons and leaving behind their armoured vehicles, making it more difficult for the coalition to identify targets.

Rebels have few weapons more powerful than rocket-propelled grenades and machine-guns, and are no match for Gadhafi's tanks and longer-range heavy weapons.

CF-18s struck a target near Misrata Tuesday night, said Maj.-Gen. Tom Lawson, assistant chief of the air staff.

"Gadhafi has lost the legitimacy to lead, so we believe he must go," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said after meeting with more than 40 world leaders in London on Tuesday.

"We're working with the international community to try to achieve that outcome," Clinton told reporters.

Britain said Wednesday it had expelled five Libyan diplomats from the country on national security grounds.

Foreign Secretary William Hague told the House of Commons he had ordered the officials to leave following concerns about their actions in Britain.

"The government also judged that, were these individuals to remain in Britain, they could pose a threat to our security," Hague told MPs.

British officials said the Libyan diplomats were regarded as the leading supporters of Gadhafi at the embassy, and had been involved in attempts to harass supporters of the Libyan opposition in Britain.

Prime Minister David Cameron said the country believes that UN Resolution 1973 could be interpreted to allow foreign nations to supply weapons to the Libyan rebels. But he stressed that Britain has not decided whether it will do so.

CIA operatives in Libya: report

A report in the New York Times on Wednesday said that clandestine Central Intelligence Agency operatives inside Libya were gathering information for military airstrikes and establishing contacts with rebels.

And British officials told the Times that MI-6 operatives and special forces were on the ground directing airstrikes and providing intelligence about government military positions.

The Times report also said the U.S. military was monitoring Libyan troops with U-2 spy planes, a Global Hawk drone and a special aircraft, JSTARS, that tracks large troop movements.

The Associated Press reported that the CIA had helped extract the weapons specialist of an F-15E fighter that crashed on March 21. He had first been picked up by rebels, while the pilot was rescued by U.S. marines.

U.S. Defence Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke to House members in a closed-door briefing on Libya in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.

Representatives said they were told the mission had cost more than half a billion dollars so far and could cost an additional $40 million per month, with no clear exit strategy.

No decision had been made yet on arming the rebels, the representatives reported, a controversial issue among members of the international coalition.

So to run down the desires of our western 'leaders' sated by a Gaddafi attack:

1. Light Sweet Crude.
2. Destruction of one of the last few countries with a banking system not enslaved to the western global fiat banking scheme.
3. Snuffing out the best example in the middle east/North Africa of the most money dribbling down from the top to the middle class.
4. 8th largest stockpile of gold in the world.
5. Practice for (bring the Canadian AirKillers up to American Mercenary standards) the Iran War (to do it all over again at an even bigger scale).
6. Addition to chaos in the middle east to prevent regional response during Iran attack.
7. Build things to destroy things, destroy things then build things infinity loop of pure evil (excess entropy) so the military complex sucks up money and resources and gets rich from destruction preventing this capital and energy's needed use for societal infrastructure.
8. Stop a 'fellow' elite who also embarrassingly exposes the psychopathic control of goyim game from time to time on stage at western institutions.
9. Scare, scare, scare the goyim.
10. Kill, kill, kill!

WATCH: This is why NATO destroyed Libya! (https://www.syriana-analysis.com/watch-this-is-why-nato-destroyed-libya/?utm_campaign=shareaholic&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=socialnetwork)

September 9, 2022 (https://www.syriana-analysis.com/2022/09/) Kevork Almasian (https://www.syriana-analysis.com/author/kevork/) Syriana (https://www.syriana-analysis.com/category/syriana-tv/)

On this day, 9 September 1999, the “Great African Union” was announced in the “Wagadougou” conference hall in the Libyan city of Sirte, in the presence of dozens of African leaders.

The union would have had a unified African army, an African Central Bank, the African gold currency, the largest gold reserves in the world, the African Resources Organization to manage the oil, gas and minerals, the African Sattelite Authority, the African Communications System, the Unified African Parliament, and the join Africa/Latin America Defence Treaty (SATO).

The union was slowly but surely heading towards being in the future a new rising pole that would interact with the Sino-Russian pole and open up space for the people of the region to breathe and develop.

On the same day again on 9 September 2011, NATO was bombing from land, sea and air, with hundreds of tons of bombs and missiles, on the same hall and same city (and the same man), ending this emerging project while it was under construction and development.

The former spokesperson for the Gaddafi government Moussa Ibrahim says in this regard: I still remember African and international leaders who told me in more than way and time that what happened on 9 September 1999 is what led to 9 September 2011.
