Boycott Israel

 Israel's Netanyahu urges world powers to maintain pressure on "rogue" Iran: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged world powers to maintain pressure on Iran Sunday en route to Washington to participate in a briefing on Iran's nuclear program , according to AFP. Recent efforts to pursue diplomatic routes with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Tehran's government, particularly on its nuclear program development, has increased Israel's concerns that Western governments will ease sanctions before Iran implements any substantial policy changes.

 "As long as we don't see actions but only words, the international pressure must continue and increase...[with greater pressure], the higher the chance its military nuclear program will be dismantled," Netanyahu said. Netanyahu further remarked that pursuing diplomacy with Tehran could legitimize the "rogue regime."

Netanyahu does not want peace or a 2 state solution. It scares him that we do and that we will give Iran a break.

Netanyahu says military threat only way to stop Iran Israel has a lot of chutzpah

US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Monday that American diplomatic and economic efforts to halt Iran's nuclear program need more time, rebuffing Israel's call for military force. Gates: Military force is not the only way to deter Iran

I am sick of Israel's provocation while they blame it on Palestinian's and the rest of the world. They are the problem not the cure! Iran is a big problem but Israel thinks they are the chosen ones and can do whatever they want. They are the biggest problem and we created her.

UN Envoy Condemns New West Bank Settlements No kidding but damn it they could care less! They will not stop until they instigate a middle east war and overwhelmed as we already are, forces us to have to come to their rescue as I said years ago.

The only thing to do is to force the instigating war mongers Israel to adhere to 181 or leave them to their own demise and Iran would see to it. You know, first reading how Israel and Palestine was allotted their territories in 1948 I do not condone that Israel has not been forced to adhere to that resolution. We, the US Britain and Europe especially are as guilty as Israel for not insisting Israel adhere to UN Resolution 181.

You know I say often that we are Israel's lap dog, her pit Bull that will do the fighting for her when she gets in trouble. Israel I came to realize is the worlds chief warmonger and the US the enforcer. It became obvious that coming to Israel's rescue would be how the US has the excuse to go after Iran. No bargaining make Israel adhere to UN resolution 181, no alternative! It is more than fair and equitable.

The Israel, Palestinian, Iran, Syria, Middle East issue will never be resolved peacefully Knowing that I have to agree with Ahmadinejad when he said if the US and Europe felt so bad for what happened to the Jews during WW2 then they should have given them part of their country.

Iran vs. Israel: Death or destruction? Destruction period!

Israel's ultra secret group of killers inside Mossad unknown even to them "Kidon" is well entrenched in Iran.

Iran vs. Israel: Can Israel and Iran be expected to work toward collective security measures, or are they unable to overcome their deeply engrained theocratic rivalry? By Laurelle Atkinson. Yeah let Iran wipe Israel off the map period end of discussion as far as Iran is concerned!

I reiterate there will never be peace in the Middle East, period! Only the UN wants it, Israel wants it her way and Iran/Syria want Israel obliterated, period. Israel and Iran have long been in preparation for this confrontation. As you know, when asked by a journalist how he felt upon returning to Iran in 1979 after 15 years in exile. Khomeini’s curt, one-word reply was “nothing” Whoa! From day one of his return to Iran Khomeini expressed no love for Iran only a love of the atom bomb. The drive even then was to possess a nuclear weapon though that desire is still denied until Iran can get their hands on one.

I have tried to give Iran the benefit of the doubt when they say their nuclear desires are peaceful knowing they could use nuclear power as an energy source for their growing population. I have always asserted that perceived need could be cover for the real goal of developing a nuclear weapon.

The nuclear program of Iran was launched in the 1950s with the help of the United States as part of the Atoms for Peace program.[1] The support, encouragement and participation of the United States and Western European governments in Iran's nuclear program continued until the 1979 Islamic revolution that toppled the Shah of Iran. We are so concerned about Pakistan and Iran today in regard to nuclear abilities and nuclear weapons and security. I was blown away to find out that we built the first nuclear Reactors in both Iran and Pakistan. Nuclear program of Iran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia atoms for peace

I would have to assume this was after we overthrew the democratically elected President of Iran Mohammad Mosaddeq to install our ruthless puppet the Shah of Iran. We built and supplied Iran's first reactor because we thought we were in control. What the hell is wrong with us? That makes us personally responsible for the 1979 Revolution in Iran, the capture of our hostages, the disaster in the desert after a failed attempt to rescue them, the rise of the Revolutionary Guard, the protesters dilemma, the nuclear issue in Iran today, everything!

You know, I have long said that Iran’s civilian nuclear program is a cover for their nuclear weapons program. Now I see that Arab leaders feel the same way. They fear a nuclear arms race and I can only conclude that knowing how far along Iran is and how they feel that they are hedging their bets and it is already under way clandestinely.

On the other side there is Israel! I realized a long time ago that Israel is the world's chief war monger and we seem to do their bidding and fighting. If they get into a war with Iran we will end up coming to their rescue regardless of what they do or what Hillary says and that is sad! We should in fact take care of Jewish American's and American's and our interests in Israel and otherwise tell them in no uncertain terms they are on their own if they continue to instigate war not peace and expecting us to come to their rescue.

There is a US law that prohibits the support of countries that break the treaty in question. Vanunu's information led foreign experts to conclude that Israel had produced fissile material for as many as 200 atomic warheads thus warning other Nation's of Israel's military might. It was okay for Israel why the hypocrisy? Remember Mordechai Vanunu whistle blower of Israel's clandestine nuclear program? Uzi Eilam former head of Israel's Atomic Energy Commission said Mordechai Vanunu did Israel a favor after revealing information about an illegal nuclear program at Israel's Dimona reactor. His information proved that Israel had broken the 1968 treaty on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.

There is a US law that prohibits the support of countries that break the treaty in question. Vanunu's information led foreign experts to conclude that Israel had produced fissile material for as many as 200 atomic warheads thus warning other Nation's of Israel's military might. It was okay for Israel why the hypocrisy? Remember this discussion? The US will pay the price for Israel and US nuclear lies and hypocrisy after Israel attacks!

I must admit Israel's hypocrisy and lies are a plan I have discussed often and I have to disagree with Eliam's final assertion. He says an attack on Iran's nuclear program would be counter productive. I beg to differ! The General hit the nail on the head though and does not know it. I have long asserted that Israel would attack Iran's nuclear interests and we would come to her rescue.

That is a fact that is why I find his final statement troubling and prophetic. He correctly said One strike is not practical. In order to delay the Iranian program for three to four years one needs an armada of aircraft, which only a super-power can provide. Only America can do it. Bingo! You know from numerous discussions here that Iran is involved in every Middle Eastern country not just Yemen, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia where they have corrupted elections for Shiite interests in Iraq, backing rebels in Yemen, and instigating attacks on Saudi oil fields. Bush freed Iran to instigate far and wide and they are.

Israel is not going to back down. When all is said and done they know the US will be there for them. It is time for Iran to put up or shut up! I am sure the US plans to come to Israel's rescue and do it largely from the Gulf with numerous carrier fighter groups and they are finished with their 30000 pound bunker buster behemoth to take out underground facilities. Both sides are locked and loaded and Syria is happening at the same time. That is no accident, all we can hope for at this time is to minimize these disasters as much as possible and keep them from turning into WW3.

Remembering Chernobyl 28 years later

Unlike Japan’s Fukushima nuclear crisis in 2011. which was caused by a natural disaster, events at Chernobyl were the result of human error. On April 26, 1986, a reactor at the plant, in the then Soviet Union, exploded and caught fire after a safety test went badly wrong. The blast sent radiation billowing across Europe.

On April 26, 1986, a reactor at the plant, in the then Soviet Union, exploded and caught fire after a safety test went badly wrong. The blast sent radiation billowing across Europe. At first, authorities denied there was a problem. But tens of thousands of inhabitants were evacuated from Prypyat, the town closest to the site, never to return. A 30 km exclusion zone is still in place around the town.

Local firefighters and other emergency workers went straight to the scene and in the ensuing days and weeks sought to bring the situation under control. Exposed to high levels of radiation, few of them are alive today. At least 30 people were killed immediately but some put the eventual death toll from radiation exposure at tens or even hundreds of thousands. Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has since said that he considered the disaster one of the main nails in the coffin of the Soviet Union which eventually collapsed in 1991.

I was blown away that Chernobyl is now a vacation destination knowing how much they are still hiding and that 28 years later the Germans pay hunters half a million apiece for wild boars to keep them off the table as they are still radioactive. This is 4 reactors and will dwarf Chernobyl!

Radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster is still poisoning Germany's boars nearly 25 years on, with authorities fighting to keep toxic meat off the market as the wild boar population rockets. 

Besides all the other problems there is still a 35 square mile area around Chernobyl that is dead and off limits.

Metal Storm, a surprise for Russia?

 Just a thought: Ukraine would have to deal with the Russian's they let into Ukraine and Crimea but this  is the perfect well tested answer to hoards of Russian soldiers crossing the border without endangering Ukraine soldiers: Metal storm the deadliest fastest most powerful weapon on the battlefield, this is scary, scary! Perfect for the demilitarized zone. I would be stunned if these are not already in place there.

 I was asked a question about smart weaponry. It is a very wide and complex field so I will just concentrate on one weapon we have discussed in the past as it is a smart weapon, it is here now, it will control the battlefield, and is very frightening. This is the scariest weapon I have ever seen or heard of in my life short of nukes. A million rounds per minute, 180 bullets being fired in less than one-hundredth of a second is perceived as one enormous noise to a human ear. Wow! Metal storm is more deadly than its name implies. Watch the video this is scary

Metal storm delivers pinpoint accuracy from ships, planes, helicopters the back of any vehicle, the ground, anywhere any time. This is super smart and lethal. 16,000 rounds per second and can even fire 1/4 million rounds of 40 mm grenades per minute. Metal storm can be operated unmanned and unattended. This is downright sinister. look at the pictures of versatility this is scary

Even unmanned Metal storm can detect movement anywhere watch this silent assassin it is down right scary All you need is a tube to hold all the rounds and it can go anywhere and be carried and shot from anything! It watches everything giving you total situation awareness.

I can't say it enough, this is a scary weapon. There is only one moving part, the Bullet. Bullets or high powered grenades are preloaded and fired electronically. No moving parts no jamming! General Downing former Commander in Chief of Special Forces is the adviser for what is the fastest and most powerful weapon on the battlefield.

This is a weapon the likes of which has never before been seen on a battlefield. It can monitor entire battle fields sensing any motion whatsoever and react accordingly. Using 40mm grenades it can flatten building, crush hardened bunkers, one can take out a battalion of tanks in seconds. watch this silent assassin it is down right scary

This is lethal and can even take down an intercontinental missile in seconds, dispatch a torpedo, used on mines, fired from planes laying down the most lethal barrage known to man. Just one question, if limiting killing non-combatants is a goal I would say that will not happen with this weapon and is the only drawback I can think of after watching the video.

The best thing Helen Thomas did was when she told Jews to get the hell out of Palestine.

1 day ago

 
First:  Remembering journalists, Helen Thomas and Guy Friddell:  Helen Thomas, the long-time dean of the White House press corps, died Saturday at age 92 after a long illness, and Guy Friddell, veteran reporter for the Richmond News Leader and more than 40-year editor and columnist with the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot also died Saturday. He, too, was 92.

Both knew Williamsburg very well, and for years were close friends of the late Donald J. Gonzales, senior vice president of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, who introduced them to me — Guy in the mid-1960s and Helen in the early 1970s.

I want to concentrate on Helen Thomas. The absolute best thing Helen Thomas ever did as a journalist got her immediately fired when she told Jews to get the hell out of Palestine.

Helen Thomas, Dean of the White House press corp. called a Bigot for saying Jews should get the hell out of Palestine, is she right?

Israel was created in 1948, after UN Resolution 181 partitioned the territory of the British Mandate for Palestine into two states for Jews and Palestinian Arabs. At the time, there were approximately 1.2 million Arabs and 650,000 Jews in all of Palestine. The Arabs objected to the creation of the Jewish state and fought a war against it. The Arab side lost the war, and the Palestinian state never really came into being. The territory allotted to the Palestinian state by the UN partition resolution was taken over by Israel and Jordan. About 780, 000 Palestinians became refugees, many of them living in the Gaza strip as well as in the West Bank. Background and map of Palestine

A video surfaced where Helen Thomas is asked, at of all things the White House Jewish Heritage Celebration on May 27th 2010, "any comments on Israel." Helen Thomas said "Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine. Remember, these people are occupied and it's their land. Not Germany. Not Poland." When the questioner, who knew he's caught a live one, asked where Jews should go, Thomas didn't miss a beat, saying "They go home, Poland, Germany, and America' and everywhere else." Helen Thomas says Jews should get out of Palestine Well?

Netanyahu rejects UN proposal for joint US, Israel, Turkey probe Israel wants the truth hidden and we will let them!

You know, there is so much in what she said, the original agreement, our guilt in this conflict that will never end peacefully, what Ahmadinejad said a few years ago about giving Jews part of your own country. You know, first reading how Israel and Palestine was allotted their territories in 1948 I do not condone that Israel has not been forced to adhere to that resolution. We, the US Britain and Europe especially are as guilty as Israel for not insisting Israel adhere to UN Resolution 181.

You know I say often that we are Israel's lap dog, her pit Bull that will do the fighting for her when she gets in trouble. Israel I came to realize is the worlds chief warmonger and the US the enforcer. It became obvious that coming to Israel's rescue would be how the US has the excuse to go after Iran.

I can not stand the fascist Ahmadinejad and his senseless antagonism nor his unrelenting desire to obliterate Israel. That said, I have to agree with something he said a year ago and Helen Thomas just said and apologized for. The Israel, Palestinian, Iran, Syria, Middle East issue will never be resolved peacefully Knowing that I have to agree with Ahmadinejad when he said if the US and Europe felt so bad for what happened to the Jews during WW2 then they should have given them part of their country.

* In closing Helen Thomas said "Tell them (israel) to get the hell out of Palestine. Remember, these people are occupied and it's their land, not Germany, not Poland. When the questioner asked where Jews should go, Thomas didn't miss a beat, saying "They go home, Poland, Germany, and America' and everywhere else."

Well that may be true but it will never happen of course and Ahmadinejad may be right in that one issue but the best we could hope for is an adherence to UN resolution 181. That will never happen either and all I can see is a total Middle East breakdown that Bush guaranteed when he attacked Iraq to help Israel set up their buffer zone.

Why Turkey is different from other Muslim countries:

 Why Turkey is different from other Muslim countries:  It is not only the five strong centuries of the empire before that, which provides a unique military and administrative experience in being able to hold one of the most strategic geographic positions on earth for so long. It is not only the parliamentary tradition going back 136 years, yes, before the republic. It is not only the multi-party democracy, belated, interrupted but able to survive.

 Not only an industrial economy started much before any other countries with a predominantly Muslim population, not only a market economy adopted where most of the Muslim countries up until the Arab Spring were controlled by the state or by dynasties. The most distinctive characteristics of Turkey compared to other Muslim countries, in addition to being a multi-party democracy and a working economy, is its secular nature and its treatment of women; at least before the law.

Turkey very much wants to be part of the western world: Germany & Turkey celebrate 50 years of their ground-breaking Labor Pact, the process signed in October 1961 that opened the gates to Turkish migrants to Germany as guest workers.

Turkey is in a very stra tegic location and wants to be part of the EU: Turkey will strengthen the EU and garner badly needed points from the Muslim world but there would be great negatives too for both the EU and Turkey.   Turkey must join EU, says UK PM

Turkey in the Crossroads or cross hairs: A model for the middle east to follow or a set-up for additional future middle east crisis? In the 1920s, with the Ottoman Empire in ruins, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk imposed Western laws, replaced Arabic script with the Latin alphabet, banned Islamic dress and granted women the right to vote.

The ruling party, however, has supported religious schools and tried to lift the ban on Islamic head scarves in public offices and schools. Secularists are also uncomfortable with the idea of Gul's wife, Hayrunisa, being in the presidential palace because she wears the traditional Muslim head scarf.''We don't want a covered woman in Ataturk's presidential palace,'' said Ayse Bari, a 67-year-old housewife. ''We want civilized, modern people there.''

With the Religious fervor having been awoken in my mind largely by Bush's attack on Iraq and our intrusion into middle east politics wherever we can and the ever growing call for a return to Islamic values in the middle east and in the entire Islamic world I find it spectacular that Turkey believes it can go its own way and be allowed to be secular and hopefully become a member of the EU.   Turkey wikepedia

We have discussed Turkey and its efforts to join the EU often as well as its importance to Europe, the US, Russia, Iran, the middle east and the world many times over the years. We just discussed this! We need Turkey, the EU needs Turkey, the world needs Turkey. However the US and the EU as you know has long frustrated Turkey. Supposedly she is turning towards Iran but while we tighten sanctions and money Iran is using Turkey to fill the void but in the end Iran as you know will go her own way and Turkey will stay with us. Earlier this year Turkey getting increasingly frustrated in her efforts to join the EU had lobbied Germany for their help in gaining membership.

The US needs Turkey for its Middle East policy but it is obvious the rest of the world does too. Turkey and the world are at a crossroads which way will we go!? Let Turkey join the European Union! There are drawbacks as membership would give them freedom in the rest of the member countries but it can be managed and I think there are more positives than negatives.

* Turkey is different from most Muslim countries, Turkey very much wants to be a part of us!

Israel's U.S. envoy: Award to Helen Thomas shows Palestinians aren't ready for peace: Wrong!

Israel's U.S. envoy: Award to Helen Thomas shows Palestinians aren't ready for peace: A decision by the Palestinian mission to the United States to honor journalist Helen Thomas proves the Palestinians inability to meet the "basic requisites of peace," Israel's ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren said on Tuesday.

Oren, responding to a Sunday ceremony in which Thomas was marked for her support of the "Palestinian position, said he "was appalled by the award ceremony given by the PLO delegation in Washington to Helen Thomas, who has been completely shunned by all decent Americans after making anti-Semitic remarks, along with teaching Palestinian children to hate the Jewish State and to glorify suicide bombers."

I have to say that I am far from anti Semite growing up in the US with Jewish friends and some best friends being Jewish but I happen to have agreed with what Helen said that led to her falling out. Let me refresh your memory.

Turkey wikepedia

We have discussed Turkey and its efforts to join the EU often as well as its importance to Europe, the US, Russia, Iran, the middle east and the world many times over the years. We just discussed this! We need Turkey, the EU needs Turkey, the world needs Turkey. However the US and the EU as you know has long frustrated Turkey. Supposedly she is turning towards Iran but while we tighten sanctions and money Iran is using Turkey to fill the void but in the end Iran as you know will go her own way and Turkey will stay with us. Earlier this year Turkey getting increasingly frustrated in her efforts to join the EU had lobbied Germany for their help in gaining membership.

I again reiterate the whole story: Turkey's future is tied to a pipeline! It really drives me crazy but the more you research the more you realize all throughout the middle east, Georgia, Afghanistan, everywhere, all the wars and controversy can be tied back to gas and oil. Russia's interest in Iran in numerous and as such is not singular to nuclear cooperation. You might have already known Russia was also interested in Iran's gas and oil but an interesting possible relationship and cooperation just dawned on me.

I am sure you remember Russia creating a crisis a couple years back shutting off Europe's gas and oil supply after its confrontation with Georgia, that and the fact that Turkey has long desired and endeavored to become a member of the European Union. This opens up a win, win for all involved!

Tell me what you think about this: Center pin Turkey, King pin Russia, center pin Iran! Winner US, European Union, Iran, Russia, and all our union and future! Remember the missile defense shield President Obama killed as an issue by switching to the Aegis? The missile Defense shield was starting to look like a necessity with N Korea in pressing on missiles capable of carrying war heads and the ability to reach Hawaii or so we hear. Iran we still do not know about but they will not compromise their nuclear desires so with a responsible credible ally if Russia is one, the responsibility to ensure Iran's real intentions would be there's under scrutiny of course. There is room here.

** The winners in all this is everyone, but Turkey and the EU above all! Russia wants the franchise for Iran's gas and oil! Turkey is at the crossroads of the middle east and the European Union. This is a major point for compromise in all our problems! Give Russia the franchise, the EU lets Turkey join in turn for Turkey allowing a pipeline from Iran through Turkey into the EU. Everyone wins! A win, win for all and a chance for us to move into the future as one.

I reiterate the future is up to a pipeline! In the Middle East we have been living a total lie from 9/11 on! You have not heard the truth once! Not on the events of 9/11, the Anthrax attacks which scared Congress to pass the so called Patriot Act and give Bush the abusive power he needed to attack Afghanistan for not allowing his pipeline through Afghanistan. The only remaining obstacle on 9-11 was the remaining agreement between the Taliban and Bridas Corporation. The Bush Administration, Congress, many in our major media, and even the 9-11 Commission and Cheney Energy Task Force all know about Bridas Corporation because that Argentine oil and gas company was standing in the way of our US oil companies and UK oil companies. The Caspian Basin oil is landlocked and there are only so many ways to get that oil out of the ground, to the ocean ports and into your gas tanks or home heating oil tanks.

What a coincidence huh? There is the direct route from Turkmenistan across Iran to the ocean, but that is not politically popular since the overthrow of the Shah of Iran many years ago. There is: 1.) the route across the Caspian Sea westward, which is extremely costly; and through Azerbaijan through Turkey to the Mediterranean; and 2.) from Turkmenistan through Georgia to the Black Sea; and 3.) through the Ukraine to Europe; and 4.) the Turkmenistan through Afghanistan and Pakistan to the ocean. Until one of those solutions was in place, the holes being drilled into the ground by British Petroleum, Chevron, Exxon and others could not go anywhere and could not produce revenues for those companies. A route northward through Russia would put US oil companies at risk to changes in Russian politics and the Eastward route through China was not deemed secure enough since China is soon to become the second largest user of petroleum in the world after the United States.

Lastly Many of us have said numerous times that Bush was advised before hand that if he attacked Iraq he would destabilize the Middle East. He knew before he ignored all good advice that the neighbors would get involved and they are. He knew that it was most likely that Iraq would be divvied up between the Kurds, the Sunni's, and the Shiite and it will be. In the past I have written extensively the entire Middle East would blow and then the entire world would be involved in war.

I know that both Turkey and Iran are fighting Kurds that are looking for Autonomy but never really thought that a free Kurdistan would encompass areas of Iran and Turkey as well as Iraq. Knowing the close American Kurdish relationship I really have to rethink what Bush's real goal was here after I discovered an old story. Tell me what you think!

Kurdistan Observer: A Free Kurdistan! Recent nuances and nudges in government policy as well as tacit support for the most obscene anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism by the ruling political party of Turkey ought to cause the United States to begin to rethink its comprehensive policy toward Asia in general and toward one non-Arab minority in Iraq in particular: the Kurds. What, today, is the most intractable political problem in Iraq? It is the very real political and religious aims of Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish regions of the nation. Since the inception of Operation Iraqi Freedom, President Bush maintained that the unity of the nation of Iraq was non-negotiable. In politics and in war, however, nothing should be non-negotiable.

This sounds vaguely familiar but Iraq is not a nation in any real sense, it was rather three separate concentration camps each with differing degrees of oppression. An answer? Maybe but there are numerous counties involved and they all want their answer as a result there will be none I am afraid because peace and prosperity is not the goal but getting ones way and individual National Sovereignty is!

The US needs Turkey for its Middle East policy but it is obvious the rest of the world does too. Turkey and the world are at a crossroads which way will we go!? Let Turkey join the European Union! There are drawbacks as membership would give them freedom in the rest of the member countries but it can be managed and I think there are more positives than negatives.

Gaddafi's compound has been hit and another 124 missiles fired, this is growing. soon it will be up to the rebels

Live feed in growing Libya crisis 110 cruise missiles fired from battleships and American and British subs. Libyan spokesman called this a barbaric action against peaceful citizens Are those the ones he armed with AK47's? Am I missing something?

Rebels say Gaddafi troops enter Benghazi

Tanks from pro-government and opposition sides headed toward each other today in the Libyan city of Benghazi as families -- fearing a massacre -- fled. Earlier, a jet fighter went down over the city. We have to get going! These people are being massacred and desperately need to see allied aircraft over their heads!

Qaddafi Warns West Not to Enforce Libya no fly zone so he can exterminate the citizens: Reports indicated that Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s forces were continuing to press their attacks against rebels in the east despite warnings that such moves would provoke military action from the West.

President Obama issued a stern and final warning to Moammar Gadhafi to stop all attacks against civilians. top the warnings already and get this going!

Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's ramshackle Libyan air force appears to be no match for the international forces heading for the region. Despite the braggadocio Gaddafi's army does not appear too ramshackle if we don't hurry up and act!

I finally heard it confirmed that French aircraft are finally over Libya. French President Sarkozy made the confirmation that the planes were over Benghazi and would protect the people against tanks and planes. He called for an immediate withdrawal of Gaddafi's forces. The future belongs to the Arab people not Gaddafy and it is our job to supply a chance at a future to the Libyan people! Gaddafi must go and the Libyan people must chose their own destiny!

Obama: U.S. military action against Libya has begun

ICC prosecutor warns Gaddafi not to attack civilians The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court warned Gaddafi against committing war crimes against civilians. Now he says he wants to give them humanitarian aid. Too late!

Libya called for a cease-fire and a halt to military action on Friday, hours after the UN Security Council authorized the use of force to protect besieged civilians in Libya. Too late, now the world wants Gaddafi and his sons dead or before a war crimes court! Despite a cease fire declared by Gaddafi the scum and his gutter sniping scummy sons are killing as many civilians as they can and the people are screaming for immediate help!

Al Arabiya said several mosques, schools and residential buildings were badly damaged in the attack on the city. Misrata has been under siege by Gaddafi's forces for days. Water supplies have been cut off, there are frequent power cuts and communications are difficult, residents told Reuters earlier this week. They are murdering as many as they can even at the Hospitals before the international community can react!

The Libyan government has announced an immediate ceasefire, less than two hours after Prime Minister David Cameron said British fighter jets (tornadoes) would be deployed to enforce a United Nations no-fly zone.

The United Nations has spoken - and so too has Libya's ruling regime, telling the world it is not afraid of military intervention, which is now certain. Egypt is already helping and Qatar and UAE have also expressed an interest, very good!

Gaddafi killing as many civilians as he can, the no fly zone is on and Hillary is in Cairo promoting Democracy. The cold world of reality

UN approves no-fly zone over Libya; raids may begin Friday Well,well, well, this changes everything for everyone!

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's forces shelled the rebel-held city of Misrata Wednesday, killing civilians and creating havoc, an opposition leader told CNN. "He is bombing his way into the city and he doesn't care if all the people in Misrata are dead by the end of the day," Witness: Gadhafi forces pound rebel-held city This is in Misrata!

The BBC's Jon Leyne in Benghazi says that, after heavy bombardment, government soldiers have made their first ground assault on the town. The advance by troops loyal to Libya's leader comes ahead of the UN Security Council discussing a no-fly zone. Ground assault on Libyan rebels This is in Ajdabiya - the last town before rebel headquarters in Benghazi.

Those poor people are on their own! We are ignoring cries from the rebels and others for the US to take the lead and impose a no fly zone now before it is too late. Instead Hillary is in Egypt touring Tahrir Square meeting the people as she and Obama know Gaddafi is going to squash resistance and Egypt is the best shot at having a Democracy. The cold world of reality! Clinton tours Cairo's Tahrir Square, US secretary of state pushes for more democratic reforms and pledges help during two-day visit.

UN approves no-fly zone over Libya; raids may begin Friday Well,well, well, this changes everything for everyone! Now what?

Rebels vow to fight, retake Brega as efforts stepped up on no fly zone

France stepped up efforts on Monday to persuade world powers to impose a no-fly zone over Libya, as Muammar Gaddafi's troops battled rebel fighters for control of the strategic oil town of Brega.

Rebel forces in Libya say they have retaken the eastern town of Brega, capturing a number of elite government troops and killing many others.

Hague: Libya No-Fly Zone Decision Near

As you may know by now the Arab League called on the UN to impose a Libya no-fly zone and recognized Rebels as Libya's legal Government. This has to be a result of our close ties with Egypt's military but this is very concerning! Reporting from Cairo The Arab League decided Saturday to support a no-fly zone in Libya, paving the way for Western countries to decide whether to move forward with the plan. The decision, announced on Egyptian state television, ends weeks of debate among Arab nations, overcoming widespread resistance to the idea of Western intervention in an Arab state.

Egyptian state television said the Arab League also decided to open channels of communication with a Libyan rebel council based in the eastern city of Benghazi and to formally recognize the council as the representative of the Libyan people. This is big and I am afraid I see a war in another Muslim country but what are we to do? UPDATE 1-Arab League calls on UN to impose Libya no-fly zone

The African Union Peace and Security Council (PSC) on Friday expressed "deep concern" at the events in Libya as observers raised questions on the body's slow and reserved response to the crisis in the North African country. Libya: African Union Rejects 'Foreign Military Intervention'

The African Union says it wants to join efforts to stop the fighting in Libya, but the organization's Peace and Security Council rejects any kind of foreign military intervention. African Union seeks Libya talks

Obama: US is 'tightening the noose on Gadhafi'

The AU (African Union) was rebuked for its conservative statement on Libya as they should have been. Libya is a member and had a representative at the last meeting to see what to do about Libya. After what they have been doing to the people they should have been out immediately. The African Union despite the slaughter said they flatly deny any outside intervention so they better do something if they care about the Libyan citizens as they say they do.

I have been giving this a lot of thought! I remember originally with the ire of the West and their growing threats of forming a no fly zone that the Arab League and the African Union made the announcement that they did not want us to intervene and they were thinking about imposing a no fly zone on Libya themselves.

As this has been progressing and become more of a slaughter of any thought to be against the regime or complicit in the rebels cause disappeared or was mercilessly slaughtered with aircraft, tanks, bombs, and machine guns it became increasingly obvious that the rebels were on their own unless we came to the rescue. Despite the chest thumping and saber rattling we cannot and better not.

We are at war in 2 Muslim countries already. It will be easy for Gaddafi to paint it as another war against Islam and many in Libya and in the Middle East and Africa would join his call to action against us. It has become obvious that with many Muslim countries in Africa and the Middle East facing insurrection they are not going to come to the rescue of the Libyan people as they too are going to take a hard line if they have to. What happened in Egypt will very likely remain an anomaly. If I am wrong they better get going with that no fly zone and we can advise, give them intelligence, and supply them.

We can not militarily come to the rescue of every Nation where some of their population want freedom from the repression and dictatorship we once sanctioned as long as they did our bidding. I listened to one fighter last week hit it right when he said "we started it we will finish it" any outside intervention and we will side with Kaddafi to repel them. What to do? Someone better do something quick!
