The CNT is nothing without NATO. NATO and CNT ground forces cannot operate other than under the cover of NATO bombing. NATO bomb or they are defeated.

NATO may not end its mission in Libya as early as planned, CNN quoted U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta as saying on Tuesday.

I can’t find much on Libya in the mainstream media today. They seem to have gone quiet of late after trumpeting the great NATO “victory” in Sirte last week. Perhaps they’re resting on their laurels this week after the destruction of that city of about 100,000 people. The media seem to enjoy boasting about this. They also keep telling us that the civilians have all gone, a strange boast that is also completely false but which enables them to triumphantly show the TNC bombardment of the town from distance as not a war crime since, they give us to understand, only “Gaddafi’s diehard supporters” are there. But it is true that there is nothing left of Sirte except an indomitable spirit of resistance that NATO is completely unable to overcome. So much so that the NATO forces seem to have given up there for the meantime except for the daily routine of random bombing and have moved onto another “last holdout” of the Jamahiriya, Beni Walid. How many last holdouts are there and can NATO take any of them?

Whenever major media Libya reports appear, truth is distorted, manipulated and falsified. For seven months, despite daily terror bombing and ground attacks, courageous loyalists bested the ferocity of NATO and its rebel army.

Unfortunately there is a dearth of good reporting on Libya in English and I don’t have time to keep translating. Allain Jules is a wonderful writer and google-translate is unlikely to do him justice. Still, it’s better than nothing.

Ah, si les Libyens savaient !
En effet, le financement de la guerre émane, pas vraiment du Qatar comme mentionné, mais du…Qatar avec le pétrole libyen. Oui, ce sont eux qui, pour l’instant recupère les revenus du pétrole libyen. Une véritable pantalonnade pour les Libyens qui s’entretuent grâce ou à cause de leurs propres richesses. Quelle tristesse !

Desde hace meses Sirte está siendo bombardeado. Desde hace unas semanas los bombardeos han arreciado, también los ataques de artillería y el cerco es cada día más cruel: ni agua, ni alimentos, ni medicinas… Los hospitales están destruidos. La destrucción es la orden. El crimen se ha generalizado, el saqueo, la ruina… Las fuerzas del mal materializadas en la OTAN, brazo armado del Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU, a través de esta guerra perpetua contra la humanidad y el planeta.

Dans les méandres de la barbarie, il n’y a pas mieux. C’est probablement la preuve que la guerre humanitaire a été organisée pour en finir avec un homme qui ne leur a rien fait mais qui aime l’Afrique et la Libye que ces gens n’aiment pas. Tout ce qui les intéresse c’est le pétrole, gagner des contrats de reconstruction.

Mapa de la resistencia heroica de Sirte, el Stalingrado libio
Resistencia Libia
13th October, 2011
En la noche de ayer una nutria horda de ratas irrumpieron en la ciudad haciendo fuego intenso en lo que ellos creían iba a ser el asalto final contra el Stalingrado verde. Nunca un fuego tan fuerte por parte de los defensores los ha respondido inflingiéndoles otra fuerte derrota y obligándoles a retroceder esta mañana. En este mapa se ve la línea verde de la defensa heroica por tierra que se convierte en un escudo invencible. Además los patriotas vigilan la línea costera para neutralizar cualquier desembarco con ayuda de la OTAN. Las líneas verdes son los ataques de los sicarios y los trazos en rojo los combates habido en las últimas horas. Las masas árabes y el Mundo está asombrado por esta resistencia mil veces heroica frente a los ejércitos mas poderosos del Planeta y los sicarios mas despreciables.

The situation in Sirte is dire. Six weeks under siege after months of aerial attacks. Children and old people dead of hunger and thirst. Water supply hit. Hospitals without medical supplies to treat the ill and injured, and then bombed by NATO. The dead lying in the streets.

“Terrified men crouched close to the complex wall, trapped and in constant prayer as they watched comrades fall to the ground and their offensive fall to pieces.”
This is the reality of NATO’s desperate attempt to capture Sirte and declare victory, again, They could then officially end their campaign, without actually ending it, and lead the world’s attention to some other futile conflict. Desperate days, the end times for the empire, the twilight of the gods of war.
Libya’s rebels launch the final push for Sirte and their crowning victory

“Today this is finished. We are going to end this now. Sirte is ours!” shouted Commander Amin El Turki to his men, their rows of heavy machine guns pointed to the city.

Here is something you won’t find in any western media. Part of the actual Russian speech or “Explanation of Vote” for their veto of the UN Resolution on Syria. It is worth reading. It is my own translation from the website of the Russian mission to the UN. There will be an official UN translation circulated in New York, but there will not be major differences:

Poor NATO are in an awful mess and we probably don’t know the half of it. To bomb or not to bomb- that is the dilemma, but they are damned both ways. A military problem requires a military solution: the “pacification”of Libya requires massive armed force on the ground a possibility which certainly is not being openly considered and is politically and financially risky in the extreme if not simply impossible. The truth is that the new formula of terrorists and mercenaries on the ground backed by massive air power has not worked: the legitimate government of Libya, it’s armed forces and the armed people, to say nothing of the volunteers from throughout North Africa and the Arab world are resisting effectively and are gaining ground. It is politically, morally and financially very difficult to continue bombing of this intensity indefinitely. What can NATO do without being exposed before the whole world, along with their massive entourage of apologists, as the liars, warmongers and war criminals they really are? Oh dear! Oh dear! Oh dear!
Members of the NATOmilitary alliance parted company Wednesday over how quickly to halt the six-month bombing campaign in Libya, and the dangers of doing so if fighters loyal to Moammar Kadafi, the country’s deposed strongman, are still engaged in armed resistance.
