It really is hypocritical just to highlight these ‘defectors’ for not obeying Gadaffi’s orders to attack his own people, but nothing was said about Americans shooting down unarmed citizens in Iraq, except to crucify the whistleblower and then try to cover it up!
Whatever happens in Libya, let the libyans sort it out, and everyone can help them by staying out of it this time.

Now that the USMilitary has moved special forces into the area, we may
add Lybia to Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Lybia´s oil reserves to
the Halliburton oligarchy.

While the GHWBushSr entourage tightens the bond of slavery on the U.S.
Citizenry.

Fresh drilling in the Gulf of Mexico = Fresh oil spills. The planned,
BP destruction did not kill enough persons; immediately.

How was Libya doing under the rule of Gadaffi? How bad did the people have it? Were they oppressed as we now commonly accept as fact? Let us look at the facts for a moment.

Before the chaos erupted, Libya had a lower incarceration rate than the Czech republic. It ranked 61st. Libya had the lowest infant mortality rate of all of Africa. Libya had the highest life expectancy of all of Africa. Less than 5% of the population was undernourished. In response to the rising food prices around the world, the government of Libya abolished ALL taxes on food.

People in Libya were rich. Libya had the highest gross domestic product (GDP) at purchasing power parity (PPP) per capita of all of Africa. The government took care to ensure that everyone in the country shared in the wealth. Libya had the highest Human Development Index of any country on the continent. The wealth was distributed equally. In Libya, a lower percentage of people lived below the poverty line than in the Netherlands.

How does Libya get so rich? The answer is oil. The country has a lot of oil, and does not allow foreign corporations to steal the resources while the population starves, unlike countries like Nigeria, a country that is basically run by Shell.

Like any country, Libya suffers from a government with corrupt bureaucrats that try to gain a bigger portion of the pie at the cost of everyone else. In response to this, Kadaffi called for the oil revenue to be distributed directly to the people, because in his opinion, the government was failing the people. However, unlike the article claims, Kadaffi is not the president of Libya. In fact he holds no official position in the government. This is the big mistake that people make. They claim that Kadaffi rules over Libya when in fact he doesn’t, his position is more or less ceremonial. He should be compared to a founding father.

Hillary and CNN are busily chastising Khadaffi at the moment for his human rights violations. It’s a good thing; after all we really are the only nation that can. That is seeing as we have such an unblemished record in that area.

French Mirage jets, these two smart flyers can sell
these planes back to France and live happily ever
after, nothing brave about this only smarts,
the brave one´s dieing the street their is a big
difference between flying out of the way and STANDING
YOUR GROUND! These flyers get a job anywhere those in
the street have to create a job, they are the BRAVE
ONES!

The heroism of those as yet unnamed Libyan military pilots is of a special nature:
the meritorious disobedience of abominable and unlawful orders.
Like the U.S. pilot, Warrant Officer Hugh C. Thompson, Jr., those pilots deserve to
be recognized publicly for their courage, levelheadedness, altruism, and
professionalism.
I hope they get the recognition they deserve, so their actions—like Hugh
Thompson’s—can serve as an inspiration to others.

Dr B:

Why would Egyptian army leaders care about some Libyan pilots? And why CIA, for pete’s sake?- You know, “the enemy of my enemy…” and all that.

Its too late for the Hero

“Silly me- everybody is badmouthing truthdig’s choice of these pilots. I just don’t get you people.”  rico (wearing the pilot shit)

Agreed.
You don´t get “you people”, who are not bad-mouthing either Truthdig´s
choice, or the courageous pilots, whose lives are now marked by at
least, Egyptian army leaders, and the CIA/MOSSAD.

“You people” have focussed on issues behind the overt scene, which you also seem to miss.

Too bad our soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan and the 130+ other countries that we meddle in don’t do the same thing. But, of course, they’d have to develop some sort of a conscience first.

I saw the headline and thought, “For once, a truthdig opinion I can agree with.” Silly me- everybody is badmouthing truthdig’s choice of these pilots. I just don’t get you people.

These guys are being used as poster boys by the IAV drone salesmen as what can happen when a bomber pilot develops a conscience.

No such remorse from our nintendo predator pilots in Kansas.

hello. the trouble with lionizing cowards is dropping
the bar low enough someone alike Oboymamma winds up
with a Nobel Peace Prize. these pilots did good not
firing on innocent peoples. what a shame they had no
courage to take a run at the palace, even if poppa was
out of the country, trying to cover his assets. they
may have convinced him to stay away; or even splattered
him into his coveted martyrdom. they could have been
heroes.

O.K.
What has “american democracy and industrialization” done for the areas of Africa it has polluted, which are being turned into desert?

And South America, where the Amazon is being destroyed, fresh water polluted by crude oil contamination, and the indigenous poisoned with Monsanto creations ?  While U.S. political kingpins continue to import their drug resources under the “watchful eye” of the DEA.

What about Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan?  Where are the wonderful “American democracy” improvements?  And now, super rich israelis and americans have sicked the CIA/MOSSAD onto Egypt and Lybia, inciting students and citizens to riot, with the news-media-pimpery simultaneously proclaiming victory for the masses.  Even many intelligent journalist-types believe this disinformation!  Indigenous dictators to be replaced by U.S.-appointed dictators.  While steering the vehicle toward Iran?  While in whats left of the U.S.A., numbskulls such as the N.Y. Republican Peter King introduce legislation to protect the “citizen spies” whom the Dept. of Homeland Security is actively recruiting.  Which spies are to report criticism of U.S. Gov. officials and policy?  And this American-type hypocrisy is being forced on all mid-eastern countries, under the guise of “American democracy”?  While “AXIS Hilly” makes speeches around the world ? 

The extra-terrestrials among us have patience, and need not blow humans off the face of the earth with their electro-magnetic weaponry, that they revealed to us via “Buck Rogers” comic books.  However, what do they plan to do with the charred remains, after earthlings have decimated the earthling “race”, turned the earth into a charred globe, and perhaps blown it out of its original orb ?

The defectors have won, case closed. Why? Because internecine armed conflict has broken out and is decimating the ranks of government supporters who are fighting over whether they are supporters of Khaddaffi, Kaddaffy, Gaddiffy, Gadawffi, OMGodduffy, Ghadify, Goodnuffy, Kaddify, etc.,etc., ad infinitum.

So, the next time there are riots in England, does that enable other countries to invade and grab the queen, perhaps cook up a little heart-attack or “stroke”, leaving the country in disarray, weak, for some other invasion or domination? Like, by the Muslim Retarded-hood?

This is another cooked-up invasion in the style of Saddam Hussein, with the result being a wrecked country.

This is insanity. Illegal. Immoral. Makes No sense. O-Stupid, the globalists, Chinky-com leaders, and the UN have the black hat on, in this case, if looked at objectively.

And let’s not get started on China, who by this reasoning, should have already been invaded. Where is the morality? This nation-building MUST stop. Our kids are going to pay the price, again, for another fake “yellowcake fantasy”.

““Former US State Department lawyer, Michael Scharf, said, “The CIA and the FBI kept the State Department in the dark (regarding Lockerbie). It worked for them for us to be fully committed to the theory that Libya was responsible. I helped the counter- terrorism bureau draft documents that described why we thought Libya was responsible, but these were not based on seeing a lot of evidence, but rather on representations from the CIA and FBI and the Department of Justice about what the case would prove and did prove.

It was largely based on this inside guy [Libyan defector Abdul Majid Giaka]. It wasn’t until the trial that I learned this guy was a nut-job and that the CIA had absolutely no confidence in him and that they knew he was a liar.

It was a case that was so full of holes it was like Swiss cheese.””
