NATO Will Keep Up Libya Airstrikes, Panetta SaysPosted on Oct 6, 2011
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Thursday that NATO will continue launching airstrikes in Libya as long as the clashes continue between rebel fighters and forces loyal to Moammar Gadhafi, despite pressure from NATO allies to stop the bombing. NATO officials said they plan to continue the strikes at least until Gadhafi’s hometown has been captured, which they say will probably happen sooner rather than later. —BF

NATO’s hubris in the offing
MESSAGE FROM MUAMMAR GADDAFI, OCTOBER 6, 2011
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs6Px6nPLIs&feature=uploademail
” The great tribes of Bani Walid, Sirte, Warshfana and Nawhi are strong and well
armed. They will never be defeated because honorable people cannot and will
never be subjugated!
The people of Libya, the true Libyans, will never accept invasion and
colonization.
We will fight for our freedom and are prepared for much sacrifice. The traitors,
the colonizers and NATO’s armies will all be defeated!
The traitors have lost trust and confidence between themselves and their
masters. They cannot continue because they are divided and intrinsically
vulnerable.
The NTC, who gave them legitimacy?
How did they obtain legitimacy?
Did the Libyan people elect them?
Did the Libyan people appoint them?
And if only the power of NATO bombs and fleets grant legitimacy, then let all
the rulers in the Third World beware for the same fate awaits you!
To those who recognize this council as legitimate, beware!
There will be transitional councils created everywhere and imposed upon you
and one by one, you shall all fall!
I urge all Libyan people to go out and march in their millions in all the squares,
in all the cities, villages and oases.
Go peacefully.
Be courageous.
Rise up!
Go to the streets!
Raise our proud Green flag to the skies!
Even if there comes a time when you do not hear my voice, do not give up. Do
not despair. Do not stop fighting for your freedom until you have victory! “

It is a sad day in the history of the world, especially the European Union, when the
“official” chief (this month) of the U.S. CIA dictates to the presidents of the nations
that comprise NATO, what they are to do. The presidents of the EUropean Union
nations taking orders from the US CIA official chief ? Sadly sickening.
Gadhaffi, the only Moslem holdout against the GHWBushSr/Zionist entourage,
being destroyed by the presidents of EUropean nations that comprise NATO, on
orders from the GHWBushSr entourage´s tool, the US CIA.
The presidents of the EUropean Union think they are united and strong ? HA !
Dumbbunny puppetry of the NAZI/Zionist GHWBushSr entourage, destroying the
only Moslem, individualistic, leader in oil-rich lands, who would not suck up to
Bush Sr & their tool, the US CIA. Gadhaffi, the only Moslem leader would not accept
the suitcases of 100 dollar bills, freshly printed on orders of the chief puppet of the
zionist Federal Reserve, Bernanke.
The clear message, either suck up to the GHWBushSr entourage, or the GHWBushSr/
Report thisZionist entourage will order NATO/EU to destroy you. If you are a Moslem.
The true colors of the Bush-Obama network are clearly demonstrated. IT SUCKS !

So when Panetta..much less Obama/Bush/Clinton etc. take the actual oath of
Report thisoffice, is it really supposed to mean anything? Dig out a dictionary sometime look
up definitions to words such as

If any civilians get bombed by us around the world, WE are responsible. This is our
country and we elect and are supposed to be the gatekeepers to this place. We
have’ne done a good job.

RE: ”...If there continues to be serious fighting, if there continues to be threats to the civilian population, then I’m sure this mission will continue,” Panetta told reporters…”
BLOODY HELL! the lying SOB!
NATO’s war-criminal-level bombing is the greatest threat to Libya’s civilian population - NATO propaganda and abject lies, served to launch this heinous war, have grown into the greatest embarrassment of any modern war in memory - the propaganda far and away outstrips the neocon build up to launch on Iraq
the so-called ‘rebels’ are fighting more amongst themselves than against patriots - fighting between patriots and so-called ‘rebels’ is far more widespread than simply ‘pockets’ - fighting in most cities is virtually 24/7- the MSM is no longer reporting from Beni Walid and Shaba, as those sieges are abandoned and patriots are moving from those cities to aid patriots in Tripoli and Surt - heretofore neutral tribes are now also joining the patriots - there’s still wide-spread fighting in Tripoli and even in Benghazi, Darna and Tobruk
Belhadj has tried to assassinate Jabril and visa versa and the numerous locals amongst the so-called ‘rebels’ have simply gone home with what they could loot and are reported to be changing their colors - the so-called ‘rebels’ are loosing
support for the Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya is widespread and appears far more durable than anything the so-called ‘rebels’ can muster - they can’t form any sort of secure government - moreover those still in the field are currently murdering and raping their way toward utter oblivion
when the truth of this murderously heinous NATO cockup is finally exposed and the complicity of so- called Left/Lib/Prog media in the cover up comes to light, wihtin that light will then be fully displayed its complete bought-and-sold collusion - talking about the media that has, for so long now, been telling us how bad the ‘corporate’ media is - let’s start calling them the ‘foundation’ media and ask them WTF they think they’re trying to get away with
Hell, let’s start right here on TD - how about it Bob and sons, WTF do you think you’re doing? You’re acting like a little gang of bought-and-paid-for pathetic sods!
start reporting the truth on your so-called ‘Truthdig’ check some reports from the street:
