Vultures circling a carcass.
If there was a patriotic Libyan in the whole bunch, this crew of imperialists would have been gunned down as they got off the runway. I mean has anyone ever seen such a sight? Sarkozy and Cameron bomb Libya to rubble and then get off a plane and are cheered by these rebel oligarchs.
Of course the most pressing question for now is the fate of Black Libyans and Black Migrant workers. Yesterday Nigeria used the word “Genocide” to describe what was going on, after the Foreign Minister of Nigeria had to leave a church service to take distress calls from Nigerians trapped inside Libya who claimed that dozens of them were being murdered outside their homes. (But I guess this doesn’t fit under the “Responsibilty 2 Protect” doctrine of Obama).
Meanwhile Russia Today had this interesting fact: “Before the war, between 1.5 million and 2.5 million migrants lived in the country, but more than 600,000 have fled, mainly to Tunisia and Egypt, according to the IOM.” Showing a massive movement of black people from the Nation.

The Scum Swamps Libya is a nice turn of phrase but, imo, they have much more in common with cancer – popping up unexpectedly to wreak havoc on pockets of healthy societal tissue.
I still find it bizarre that these people are declaring some kind of monumental victory in Libya, totally disconnected from the fact that their countries of origin, for whose well-being they are directly responsible, are going to Hell in a hand basket.

I am considering starting a blog entitled Bums In The Oven. The premise would be to compile a list of cretins who deserve to be burned in ovens. If we must have our Holocausts, why not make them effective rather than roasting innocent men, women and children.
The faces in this photo would be a good start. I realize that burning this trash in an incinerator would lend to Global Warming, but even so, I believe the net benefit would be positive, considering.
PS: I do not condone involuntary cremation. Really, I don’t….I swear. Voluntary cremation….well, that’s another thing, altogether.

@9, it can be Open Source and Transparent, with an emphasis on Worst Offenders….meaning those with significant Wealth, Status and Influence to destroy people’s lives through sociological, economical and political manipulation. The list should also include the myriad direct technical minions who carry out this operation day in and day out…..the Eichmans, if you will.
Of course, this is Satire, but Satire has a point.

so who makes the list, and who do you burn?
Doesn’t the Muslim Brotherhood have a list?
Anyway, the Rule of Law is rather meaningless, in my opinion. If the few are in charge of creating the laws, or significantly influential in the creation of those laws, and the laws are set up to keep the majority in line whilst the few pick the majority’s pockets, then the Rule of Law is as much the enemy as the scum who use it to rape and pillage.
Worst Offenders transcends any notion of religion, nation or ideology, so to focus mainly on “Zionists” is myopic and counterproductive. Degenerate Douche Bags are best described by their actions, not their rhetoric.
Anyway, it could be a Wiki List, where the Global Community has equal access in determining who gets on the list based off a few simple rules which cannot be circumvented…..one of those being that it can’t be based off of religion, ethnicity/culture, citizenship….etc., etc. Stereotyping is unacceptable, In each case, the actions of the Worst Offender must be judged based off of a few simple applied principles, mainly considering this person’s status, were his/her actions in accordance with the principles of human dignity, equality, equity, justice and so on and so forth.
But, once again, this is all quite too literal. It’s Satire, remember? The point is that violence, in whatever form, whether it be a Genocidal Holocaust, or a one on one assault, rarely is directed for the most good. Instead, it is mostly, if not always, the Least of Our Brothers who are victims of violence. Why is that? I think I know the answer, but I’m sure others have equally compelling reasons for the predicament.

And where does the NTC fit in? The rank and file seem to be willing participants. Motivated by a love of justice and freedom I’m told. Or do they expect to get government jobs and new pick-up trucks out of it.

NTC want to have a bigger piece of the pie, more control, rid of the ex-K-State-apparatus, more power for them, more for their ‘tribe’ or community, group – ?? .. as I don’t know enough about Lybia.
What seems singularly missing in what little I have read is some kind of discourse which focusses on Lybia for Lybians, jobs and training for Lybians, steady work, women’s rights, etc. (well K did that before! so it maybe tired..) and all the rest – better agriculture, less foreign workers, etc. etc.
A common conspiracist meme is that NATO wants to grab the oil.
In world terms, it is not so tremendous. (Not on the same scale as Iraq.)
Many of the majors – BP, Total, Repsol, OMV (Austria), ENI (Italy), and some other small cos. including US ones RAN the oil biz in Lybia, they all had, have ongoing contracts and were making a bundle.
They are now all *effed* as the wells are shut (the rebels got their oil with deliveries from abroad by ship, run not by oil cos but by transporters and oil traders, they imported oil..) and are now waiting to see how they can re-negotiate their contracts or whatever.
No doubt there will be some re-shuffling. The TNC has said it will honor past contracts (what else can it do? – gotta keep the biz going) but will negotiate future contracts.
The oil biz – and the Intl community concerned with energy – hates one thing above all – instability. No interlocutors, broken contracts … Any ruckus even very minor cuts into profits and may sink companies. To extract, refine, transport, sell, is mind bogglingly complicated. NATO did not fight for oil.
Who profits from such a mess?
Companies like Glencore. (Who sent, afaik, tankers of oil to the rebels.) Just look at this page, their site:

Noirette I think what Mahmoud Jibril said in his doctoral thesis is still valid:
“The objectives that are generally accepted as the pillars of US foreign policy in the Middle East since the early 1950’s, are as follows 1) to maintain access to oil sources in the region (mainly Arab sources) 2) to preserve and enhance the security and well-being of Israel 3) to minimize the influence and presence of the Soviet Union in the region (this objective calls for countering the Soviet Union and also avoiding a direct superpower confrontation that would escalate into a nuclear conflict 4) a fourth objective which is regime related could be added: to confront Libya’s external revolutionary activities that could adversely affect the stability of regimes friendly to the United States in the Middle East and world wide.”
You just have to replace Soviet Union with China. The NTC is doing a proxy fight. 5) Africa is new in the equation.
Remember, they thought it would be easy and Gaddafi a push over like Ben Ali and Mubarak. They did not intend to take Libyan oil production out for years. They all are in election mode, they did not intend for a quagmire.
It was a complete miscalculation.
Fact is they did Gaddafi a huge favour. Before his rhetoric of secular anti-imperialist fight seemed obsolete. Now he has forced almost everybody to take off their masks.

@ noirette #15
Is that not BHL in the photo that B has posted with this topic?
Reading the english wiki about him, it appears he would be a popular and favored talking head in the US, one who could rub elbows with our own mental giants like Krauthammer and David fucking Brooks.
where do these assholes come from?

luzbek For those who understand Arabic, this hacked phone call is Amazing!! youtu.be/6K3DoUZuHB8 via @MuammarLGaddafi
about 8 hours ago
Translation:
This phone call is a dispute between a Misurati rebel leader and the NTC’s Military spokesman, Colonel Ahmed Bani, showing numerous rebel’s lies & hypocrisy. It confirms several facts:
– They talk about the presence of U.S & French troops within Misurata and Tripoli, and they are clearly admitting that foreign troops engaged in the attack & occupation of Tripoli, and are still there.
– A major conflict between the Misurata brigade and the NTC in Benghazi, about how the Misurata brigade is perceived by Benghazi, the minimizing of its role in the fights. The Misurati commander seems really tired of hearing the Military spokesman gloating on TV & in the news, talking about a so-called new National Army, while they are being crushed by Gaddafi troops, without the help of Benghazi. He says “Your So-called National Army has been totally crushed at Dafniya by Gaddafi troops, and they took all the weapons and armoured vehicles. There is no Libyan Army anymore. Where is your Libyan army in Sirte? Are you talking about those waiting outside parading for TV & photographs? A Commander like you should come to the battleground, not go parading on TV! Stop acting like the Americans & French, like Sarkozy parading while the war is still ongoing in the country. Come to the battleground! ”
– Ahmed Bani, The NTC’s Spokesman, answer him about the psychological operation & aims for his use of the word “New National Army”, he says that the whole world is fearing a guerrilla situation in Libya, fearing Al Qaeda and fratricide fights between the different factions. The international community must not see the Libyan rebels as a bunch of different factions, militias and brigades, so he uses the word “Libyan Army” to pretend that Libya is ok, that the situation is under control, and that there are only small pockets of pro-Gaddafi fighters to defeat. So they try to convince the US, UK and France that a Libyan army is under construction, blablabla…
– The Misurati commander stop him, telling him that the US & French are very well informed about the situation on the ground, since they are with them on the ground. They where in Tripoli during the assault, and they are still there. He says in his own brigade only, there is a foreign intel. group of 12 US spec ops, and 6 French (spies?), they are giving all the info, through internet & press (?). So the situation is quiet clear for them, no need to pretend there is a new Libyan army.
– A dispute over the weapons & “troops” or “mercenaries” from Qatar. “Where are the weapons from Qatar, where are the troops when we need them?”, says the Misurati rebel. The deficiency of backing troops and weapons from Benghazi, while they have given them 150 millions (?) for weapons- The Misurati commander says that they didn’t get the weapons they were promised while they know the weapons are in Benghazi. He swears that each of those in Benghazi who betrayed the Misurata brigade will pay the hard price and that the ‘revolution’ will succeed with or without them. He says that even if colonel Bani pretend he didn’t betrayed, he need to fix the situation, and give what they promised to Misurata brigade, as he’s in power.
– The Misurati commander says that Benghazi owe them money and respect for the Misurata ‘martyrs’, the wounded and amputations (?), for all what they have done, including destroying the Gaddafi army in Misurata and areas “ Think about the armies we destroyed, Man, we destroyed 16 battalions in Misurata, there are MASS GRAVES of Gaddafi soldiers, but we are not supposed to talk about it. Who destroyed them? And you are talking about a National army?! Where is your National army of Benghazi? We are taking major casualties right now. Ambulances and planes are full of our casualties; hospitals are full of Misuratan rebels! Where is the help coming from Qatar? Where are the weapons coming from Qatar? You guys are excluding us from Libya like if we were Bangladesh. You are doing worse than Gaddafi, forgetting us and putting us apart”

Noirette, I’m not buying that this most recent endeavor in Libya is for gaining some sort of political clout so some Politicians can get reelected. That’s Bullshit.
Wars are about resources, one way or another. In this case, the angle may be a bit more ambiguous, but it doesn’t preclude the fact that it is, ultimately, about resources. Everything else that attaches to it is pure Gravy.

my letter to a UN correspondant:
Hello Mr Zenhqiu
I believe this is your article:
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/indepth/2011-09/21/c_131150287.htm
Ive no idea what you know about the War on Libya, but the article is really outrageous: in its blithe ignorance of the atrocities the UN has enabled. This is Julius Streicher territory. For using RES1973 UN has violated its own charter regarding national sovereignty, let loose a massive war machine on a small country, which has killed up to 60000 libyans backed a genocidal armed insurgency and totalled the countries infrastructure that’s was built up in 42 years.
Meanwhile,The NTC has absolutely no support inside Libya. I know because ive been following this UN enabled war crime from day 1, I have access to people on the ground: real Libyans. They are the ones being killed by NATO, raped and butched by the insurgents. Towns have been emptied of their black libyan inhabitants, most killed or have fled fearing murder. So how can the NTC be so blithely welcomed at the UN in New York?
In your article Jalil hypocritically calls for peace.But that’s now all hes been calling for:
‘Mahmoud Jibril, the NTC prime minister, rubber-stamped the wiping of the town off the map at the Misrata town hall:
“Regarding Tawergha, my own viewpoint is that nobody has the right to interfere in this matter except the people of Misrata.”
“This matter can’t be tackled through theories and textbook examples of national reconciliation like those in South Africa, Ireland and Eastern Europe,” he added as the crowd cheered with chants of “Allahu Akbar,” or “God is greatest.”
The WSJ goes on to report:
Now, rebels [NTC troops] have been torching homes in the abandoned city 25 miles to the south. Since Thursday, The Wall Street Journal has witnessed the burning of more than a dozen homes in the city Col. Gadhafi once lavished with money and investment. On the gates of many vandalized homes in the country’s only coastal city dominated by dark-skinned people, light-skinned rebels scrawled the words “slaves” and “negroes.”
“We are setting it on fire to prevent anyone from living here again,” said one rebel [NTC] fighter as flames engulfed several loyalist homes.

Tawehga was a black libya town. The NTC and other from Benghazi have purged the town of its black inhabitants.
The same genocides are now recognised by the undemocratic autocrats at the UN. Why is your article silent on this atrocity?
Black star news contacted the UN on this genocide, and the UN person showed not only no concern whatsoever( would have been different had it been his relatives) but was tacitly endorsing the killing of black libyans. So no surprise your article has them heartily receiving the genocides into their family!Only its not my family and its not yours..as we have no say. The Libyan people have no say.
http://www.blackstarnews.com/news/135/ARTICLE/7623/2011-09-13.html
‘Last but not the least, the United Nations will play its central role through the NTC. In other words, the NTC is the partner of the UN role in the political transition and reconstruction of Libya.’
Well the UN apart from violating its own charter has violated its own protocols! Why should a war on Libya be so crucial that Banki would endanger the UN?
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=25715
The central role of the UN was to enable this war on Libya thru its trojan horse Resolution 1973. Ive analysed RES 1973 and find its preamble full of lies wrapped up in faux human concern.
Now UN threatens to send in its blue helmet peacekeepers. That’s part of its planned role BUT the blue helmets have a rancid history all of their own, making Un Res 1973 even more of a fraud…Are you ready to ibterview libyan girl vicims of the inevitable Blue Helmet atrocities?
Planned Peacekeeper Occupation of Libya
http://panafricannews.blogspot.com/2011/09/planned-peacekeeper-occupation-of-libya.html
That’s the UN peacekeeping as seen by its victims, not by the backslapping frauds in your article.
Your article is an eg of how the media acts as a PR agent for war criminals. That’s not just shameful..it sent german media man Julius Streicher to the gallows
Finally, here is what the Libyan people think of Gadaffi as recently as 01 july 2001..not one of them was invited to the UN to tell their story of NATOS massacres of the NTCs treachory.
