Libya: NATO Humiliation Increasing per Airstrike

You don’t bomb a “captured” city.

25th August, 2011

Each NATO warplane that passes over Libya’s coast and releases its ordnance upon the city of Tripoli is a glaring reminder that not only have the NATO-backed rebels failed to take the city, but the fighting there is beyond their ability to face without constant air support. As each bomb tears through Tripoli’s already NATO-battered infrastructure – most recently destroying a fire station in the Abu Salim district – the world is given daily affirmations of just how duplicitous and premature NATO’s desperate claims of “victory” were, made now nearly a week ago. To add injury to insult, UK’s Foreign Secretary William Hague was imploring South Africa to release funding to NATO’s proxies in Benghazi and suggested that failing to do so would be “risking a humanitarian disaster.” Hague has not yet explained how the persistent aerial bombardment of a heavily populated city isn’t already causing a verified humanitarian disaster.

Battle for Tripoli & Greater Libya still on

Land Destroyer Report

24th August, 2011

Racing desperately against both an approaching deadline on their mandate and their departing credibility, NATO is desperately declaring victory in Libya regardless of what the facts on the ground may be. Parading before the public, videos of rebels looting empty compounds and dancing briefly in a square that may or may not have even been in the country, NATO’s declaration of victory teeters entirely on the corporate-media’s ability to obfuscate what is obviously a citywide battle overturning earlier rebel “gains” in Tripoli.
