Libya : Duped Again

Green Phoenix absolutely views war as not green and not sustainable. 

This Libya invasion and the civil war there prior to it is most amazing.  I guess they figure the US and the general world populations are just suckers to be sold the daily lie, or the daily version from the ministry of truth.

First of all for Libya to go 42 years under the so called tyrant we are now attempting to get rid of or have leave or don't know actually what we want to happen, that tyrant  must have had covert support and approval of the USA and the European powers.   All the bull and all the state department shenanigans and all the posturing all those years were pure appearance politics for the masses. 

What has happened now is that in the civil war in Libya  whoever it is the USA was backing is now loosing.  Things are not going our way and hence we intervene.  Do you really believe that your 100 billion a year secret services and your Trillion Dollar a year Global Military machine could not  have any idea what is going on in a small desert dictatorship?  Would they lie to us?  You bet they would.  It is all for "National Security"

"National Security"  Defined as, it is a secret because it is so corrupt and against all your values that you would demand that all those involved be imprisoned and all their assets turned over to the people, thus all records must be sealed until everyone involved is dead.

My prediction:  Oil will go up in price.  Libya will be divided and conquered. Someone will get the tens of billions of dollars of oil wealth squirreled away in western banks, and you can bet it will not be the Libyan people.  The new Libya or the new Libya and the other non oil Libya will need to be enslaved to western interests and all the planes and tanks destroyed in our invasion will have to be repurchased from western powers with loans to the Libyan people, profiting the Libyan elite and the Western powers.  Western Corporations and western security firms will descend upon Libya and reap huge profits from rebuilding the oil infrastructure and getting all of Libya's Oil out of the ground as expoitativley  and profitably as possible.

If the Libyan resistance is strong there may be an Iraq style drawn out terror period inflicted by the US and hundreds of thousands of Libyans will be killed, most of the infrastructure of the nation will be destroyed in the name of depriving the enemy of resources and comforts, and the nations best and brightest will head for the exits and emmigrate to other places.

And the news and the state department will guarantee their man is put in power and that all are told of the great democratic revolution and the success of free market capitalism over tyranny.

And there will be no mention of the huge environmental destruction, the huge releases of toxic chemicals and oil in to the environment, the depleted uranium munitions spread all over the place, the waste of oil and metals and all the things used to get the military there on target.  No mention of the lands destroyed and polluted and no mention of the impact once again on an entire nation being terrorized by machines flying through the air and dropping highly environmentally hazardous devices that explode and kill all within range indescriminately of wether they are freind or foe, human or animal or bird or plant.
