I have no idea who these guys are... but indeed, given other NOOZ sources this seems to be the case.

[Uncle Joe]

1. I hope the Libyans are able to achieve a viable democratic form of government;

that represents the best interests of the Libyan People.

Thanks for the thread, nadinbrzezinski.

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. You welcome

I am watching CNN and following the Tweeter...

:hi:

[Cleita]

7. There are worries that tribal conflict may happen.

Apparently the Berbers, who were badly treated by other tribes during Daffy's reign, might take some revenge. I hope not. I hope they get some kind of meeting of sheiks and other leaders to work out a peaceful transition.

[Uncle Joe]

10. I hope for the good of the nation, that they can take inspiration from South Africa's transition

away from apartheid.

They will need strong, wise and just leadership to make this happen.

[grahamhgreen]

12. Let's hope it's not another Islamic Republic like we've set up in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[Uncle Joe]

13. I don't believe it will come to that, if the Libyan People are given a fair chance, the

intangibles aren't the same as Iraq and Afghanistan.

[grahamhgreen]

15. Keep a close eye on who writes the constitution, and what it says...

Especially about social programs, religion, oil.

And freedom from corporate control.

[Uncle Joe]

16. I hear you and I agree the way that's handled will be critical. n/t

[mvd]

20. Yep, understood.

Libya would be better with a new leader. But how will the aftermath be handled? Will it having more American control take precedence over the people?

[Odin2005]

3. YAY!!!

[pink-o]

4. A Yacht? How's he gonna get to Cheney's compound in a Yacht?

Isn't Paraguay landlocked?

[RyanPsych]

5. Well now who are we going to bomb?

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Tehre are another four wars at least

right now, and a few potential ones. But bringing down this guy... I ain't gonna shed too many tears. And the ones I shed are for the innocents killed. (Which does not include the Qadaffi family)

[bhikkhu]

6. And no bloodbath after all!

(hopefully not spoken too soon)

[Cleita]

8. Maybe. See my post #7 on this thread. n/t

[stockholmer]

9. wooo hooo! al Qa-eda now has captured its first capital city of a nation state!

:thumbsdown:

[Muskypundit]

22. Yeah.... not really.

A lot of the people in the rebel government are strikingly progressive; like a lot of the actual rebels themselves.

[stockholmer]

23. perhaps,& they shall share the same fate as Gen. Younis, butchered by the CIA thug Hifter or another

or simply dis-empowered to the point of the proverbial door-stop.

The rapacious appetites of the Anglo/American banking cartel, and it's creation( military/petrol/industrial/media/science complex) know no bounds.

[Kolesar]

25. Huh? eom

Libyan rebel commander admits his fighters have al-Qaeda links

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/8407047/Libyan-rebel-commander-admits-his-fighters-have-al-Qaeda-links.html

"Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, the Libyan rebel leader, has said jihadists who fought against allied troops in Iraq are on the front lines of the battle against Muammar Gaddafi's regime.

In an interview with the Italian newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore, Mr al-Hasidi admitted that he had recruited "around 25" men from the Derna area in eastern Libya to fight against coalition troops in Iraq. Some of them, he said, are "today are on the front lines in Adjabiya".

Mr al-Hasidi insisted his fighters "are patriots and good Muslims, not terrorists," but added that the "members of al-Qaeda are also good Muslims and are fighting against the invader".

His revelations came even as Idriss Deby Itno, Chad's president, said al-Qaeda had managed to pillage military arsenals in the Libyan rebel zone and acquired arms, "including surface-to-air missiles, which were then smuggled into their sanctuaries"....................

MI6 'halted bid to arrest bin Laden'Startling revelations by French intelligence experts back David Shayler's alleged 'fantasy'about Gadaffi plot

British intelligence paid large sums of money to an al-Qaeda cell in Libya in a doomed attempt to assassinate Colonel Gadaffi in 1996 and thwarted early attempts to bring Osama bin Laden to justice.
The latest claims of MI6 involvement with Libya's fearsome Islamic Fighting Group, which is connected to one of bin Laden's trusted lieutenants, will be embarrassing to the Government, which described similar claims by renegade MI5 officer David Shayler as 'pure fantasy'

The Power of Nightmares, subtitled The Rise of the Politics of Fear, is a 3 part BBC documentary film series, written and produced by Adam Curtis.


The films compare the rise of the Neo-Conservative movement in the United States and the radical Islamist movement, making comparisons on their origins and claiming similarities between the two. More controversially, it argues that the threat of radical Islamism as a massive, sinister organized force of destruction, specifically in the form of al-Qaeda, is a myth perpetrated by politicians in many countries—and particularly American Neo-Conservatives—in an attempt to unite and inspire their people following the failure of earlier, more utopian ideologies.
