Having exposed his presidential ambitions, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin spoke about the prospects for creating the Eurasian union on post-Soviet space. The Western media have already dubbed Putin’s new initiative as an attempt to recreate the USSR.

NATO and TNC Mercenaries initiated the yet heaviest assault on the strategically and economically important city of Sirte, advancing into the suburbs of the city. After heavy fighting the attack was grinded to a halt this morning. Though heavy fighting continued in other cities the fronts were relatively calm, which indicates that the TNC is running low on reserves. Is the all out assault a desperate attempt to register one victory before the NATO Meeting in two days, Intelligence close to the TNC reports that the Transitional National Counsel is in utter chaos. This morning at a press conference, Abdelhakim Belhadj “pleaded” to the population in Tripoli to help establish “stability, law and order” and give back their arms to the Tripoli Military Counsel.

Short of full-scale invasion of Libya by NATO, the only way to reverse the declining fortunes of their TNC proxy forces, the Libyan situation will soon go off-radar, a failed campaign, a memory to be obliterated by another hyped misadventure.Could it be in Pakistan?

It looks as if Syria will have to wait now that – as Wayne Madsen points out – Washington’s priority is seizing Pakistan’s nuclear booty before, as the story goes, it falls into radical islamist hands. The only obstacle remaining was to create an environment acceptable to world public opinion that would justify a multinational intervention in Pakistan. Over the past year and a half, Washington has been attempting to do just that through a crescendo of uninterrupted provocations.

New York (SaebPress) – Russia and China has vetoed the UNSC resolution on Syria, urging political dialogue instead of proposed tough sanctions on Syria. The veto has outraged the French and the American’s leaders.

I was right then a couple of weeks ago to predict the NATO “victory” in Libya but failed to predict the “death” of Gaddafi. That distinction falls to Allain Jules.

It is difficult to see what outcome awaits us in the Libyan situation. NATO have dug themselves into a very deep hole but so far managed to conceal that fact from almost everyone. Yet the truth will out we are told. Not if NATO have anything to do with it! Their virtual victory in this war is guaranteed but winning the peace in which a resurgent Libyan people under the leadership of Muammar Gaddafi retake control of their own country will be another matter. If only they had been able to eliminate Gaddafi then perhaps any outcome could be presented as a “democratic” revolution facilitated by themselves but all the indications are that the Guide is safe and sound, at home amongst his own people and that seems unlikely to change.

What do you get when a British public schoolboy with a proven record of a seriously flawed judgement as regards choosing his advisers and choosing his policy gets embroiled in conflict in a tribal society utterly beyond his comprehension? You get David Cameron’s 2 billion-pound nightmare.

History repeats itself in an eternal recurrence. The 12th October, 1940, day of the Jewish celebration Yom Kippur, the Warsaw Ghetto, still a terrible memory, was created. Today, in Sirte, it is NATO who is doing it, but worse. The siege of Sirte is, in reality, nothing other than the antechamber of death for the partisans of Muammar Gaddafi in the new Libyan “democracy”. An exclusive democracy whose first principle is the elimination of all possible opponents with the blessing of those great “democracies”, France, the USA and England.

Now that the Franco-Libanese Zied Takieddine is getting upset and hitting out wildly before his appearance before Judge Renaud Van Ruymbeke, he says that the Elysee have abandoned him and that his Libyan trips were official not officious. Worse, he claims to have been sent by the terrible two, Nicolas Sarkozy and Claude Gueant, on behalf of the French state. Does this explain everything? Failure to sell Rafales? Now, Total paid for this mission. All that for the death of 70,000 Libyans, including 2,300 renegades, killed for nothing. The truth about this war risks then revealing the dark motivation and misjudgement of Nicolas Sarkozy in this aggression against Libya and, in particular, against Gaddafi.
