Russian Military Says Libyan Airstrikes Did Not Take Place
by grtv - Posted on: March 1, 2011
“All war is based on Deception” - “in war, the first casualty is truth”; Sun Tzu’s
Art of War
The reports of Libya mobilizing its air force against its own people spread
quickly around the world. However, Russia’s military chiefs say they have been
monitoring from space - and the pictures tell a different story.
According to Al Jazeera and BBC, on February 22 Libyan government inflicted
airstrikes on Benghazi—the country’s largest city—and on the capital
Tripoli. However, the Russian military, monitoring the unrest via satellite from
the very beginning, says nothing of the sort was going on on the ground.
At this point, the Russian military is saying that, as far as they are concerned,
the attacks some media were reporting have never occurred. The same sources
in Russia’s military establishment say they are also monitoring the situation
around Libya’s oil pumping facilities.

NATO forces may attack forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi if the Libyan air force
continues to bomb anti-government protesters, the London-based al-Quds al-
Arabi reported Thursday, citing a European official claiming the US had
threatened to intervene in the violence.
The source said NATO and US warplanes stationed in Italy may be ordered to
take down Libyan planes, and that electronic warfare against them may already
have been implemented.

Remember that ‘freedom’ means being free from the United States too.
====================================================
I totally agree, PatrickHenry, that freedom for Libyans means being free from the United States too. The thing that not many people know is that the United States government and its banks have been sleeping in bed with the Qadhafi regime in the last several years, to the point that they allowed him to accumulate some 30 billion dollars in American banks; money certainly stolen from the Libyan people.
This must have been part of a secret deal between the two evil parties, during the second term of the Bush administration, which resulted in the US removing the Qadhafi regime from the list of the sponsors of terrorism and restoring diplomatic relations with the regime.
