NATO’s claim that it cannot investigate civilian casualties because it has no mandate to be in Libya is feeble and disingenuous.”

On May 14, 2012, Human Rights Watch released an important report, Unacknowledged Deaths: Civilian Casualties in NATO’s Air Campaign in Libya. The 82-page report reveals conclusively that some of NATO’s ten thousand sorties flown over Libya resulted in the deaths of at least seventy-two civilians, including twenty-four children. These are not large numbers, largely because HRW’s analysis is based on the most obvious cases and because its work was not assisted by an investigation of NATO’s own paperwork. HRW did not conduct a comprehensive investigation. That was not possible. Its investigators went to eight sites of NATO air strikes and found here that NATO’s bombs had indeed killed civilians. The findings, then, are not comprehensive. They are illustrative.

The Americans’ hypocrisy vis-à-vis Al-Qaeda and their predicament in Syria
The recognition by American Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta of the presence of Al-Qaeda in Syria and the fact that the suicide bombings carried its fingerprints featured a lot of hypocrisy and political imposture. Indeed, this recognition is not the first of its kind and falls in the context of a series of statements delivered by senior military and security commanders in the United States. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also contributed to this American rhetoric more than once, without the American officials reviewing their behavior towards the Syrian situation. Quite the contrary, they are growing more determined to escalate the pressures against the Syrian national state and the Syrian people who are resisting the terrorism and takfir which are earning international and regional sponsorship from an alliance directly led by the United States.

“A trend in Europe is that compliant right-wing politicians who have forfeited European national security into American hands are on their way out, and a more self-assertive EU is on the rise that could detach itself from the American-Israeli militaristic modus operandi.”

Here’s the essence of it: you can trust America’s creme de la creme, the most elevated, responsible people, no matter what weapons, what powers, you put in their hands. No need to constantly look over their shoulders.

Parfois, sans toutefois mépriser les autres, je me demande souvent s’ils ont toute leur tête. C’est ainsi qu’il est toujours épatant de voir des gens qui donnent du crédit au plan diabolique contre la Syrie. Une coalition démoniaque constituée qui plus est, des pays du golfe, avec notamment les grandes, que dis-je, les très grandes démocraties que sont l’Arabie saoudite et le Qatar. C’est à mourir de rire ou pleurer de rage.
