Bonjour DK : )

Obama speech in full

 I've learned to listen to him beyond his carefully selected words. here he says:

"when the security of our Nation is at stake, we have to act."

And then he spoke eloquently about saving human life, helping the real people at Libya, the difficulties of war, bringing NATO in control ... blah, blah, blah .... NOT A SINGLE WORD about how or why the security of the nation was in jeopardy ... which supposedly was his only reason to attack Libya. 

Oh well ...... this is Obama's Iraq, there was massacre after massacre in Dafur, no comment, Yemen, no comment and the list goes on...... Libya has an industry that the puppet master Soros wants to control of .............  not hard to figure out ..... duh

John SimpsonOutskirts of Misrata

Foreign journalists have been taken to Misrata, the only city in western Libya which is still controlled by the rebels after five weeks.

After many stops at army roadblocks, we have been brought to a place on the outskirts of Misrata, about three miles (10km) from the city centre. There were many signs of fighting as we were driven in.

Occasionally, there has been the sound of heavy machine-gun fire in the background. A big column of black smoke is going up in the air not far from us. But there is a strong suspicion that much of this has been set up purely for our benefit.

As we drove along slowly, a fire suddenly started close to us - a generator had caught light, somebody suggested, but it certainly was not the result of enemy action.

A large crowd of pro-Gaddafi demonstrators has gathered and, perhaps the most telling touch of all, a live, outside broadcast unit from Libyan state TV complete with satellite dish was up ready for our arrival. But what is absolutely beyond suspicion is the clear evidence of heavy fighting here.

Libya rebels fight for Sirte road (bbc)

Libyan rebels are battling for control of the road leading to the heartland of government loyalists.

The rebel army has been moving rapidly westwards, but came under heavy attack on the approach to Col Muammar Gaddafi's birthplace of Sirte.

Nato, which now runs the coalition action, has denied its strikes are to provide cover for a rebel advance.

Britain and France have urged Col Gaddafi's supporters to defect "before it is too late".

The anti-Gaddafi rebels have seized a number of key coastal communities and important oil installations in recent days, including Ras Lanuf, Brega, Uqayla and Bin Jawad.

NATO approves expanded role in Libya

Brussels, Belgium (CNN) -- NATO's North Atlantic Council on Sunday approved an operations plan that will shift the entire Libyan military mission to alliance command, officials said, easing the burden on the United States and its allies to protect civilians in the war-torn country. 

The new NATO mandate will begin in two to three days, NATO officials said, allowing the current coalition, led by the United States, the United Kingdom and France, to stand down.

All alliance members will have to abide by the rules of engagement approved Sunday, albeit with caveats that may allow some nations not to participate in operations in Libya. However, it is assumed that none of these nations will prevent other alliance members from executing the military plan and rules of engagement that were approved.

Ian Pannell exposes Coalition Dilemma on Sirte (bbc)

In the last 24 hours, the rebels have pushed hundreds of kilometres to the west. The next big city in their path is Sirte. It is Col Gaddafi's hometown and one of the very few places untouched by the spirit of rebellion.

So here is the dilemma: if the rebels do manage to get that far and the people of Sirte do not rise up, either because they are loyal to Gaddafi or too afraid to act, what do the allies do? If civilians are not being threatened, they arguably have no mandate for action and that would stall the rebels' advance and leave them exposed and vulnerable to attack and that could mean an open-ended engagement for the coalition.

If the coalition launches attacks anyway to weaken Col Gaddafi's forces, that will convince many that this really is about regime-change and that could create splits within the alliance. The rebel advance may be quietly cheered in London, Paris and Washington, but it also potentially brings a host of problems for the coalition.

DK Jan , What goes up must come down

In general, when they are going down, the empires often listen to ill-advised military misadventures.............. That seems to involve crazy efforts to salve the sting of retreat or defeat by occupying new territories, however briefly and catastrophically. ....... These  irrational operations often yield humiliating defeats that only accelerate the loss of power.

They  suffer an arrogance that drives them to fall even deeper into military misadventures.......... This is what exactly America got itself into within last couple years ........

Also War has economically brought U.S down on its knees ..........  so now America is fighting another battlefield  at home ......... It is hard to survive on two fronts .........

Since the assassination of JFK not a single American president ( Democrat or Republic ) has had the power to act independently  ....... it seems that  the politic of the oval office has changed more presidents than the presidents change the oval office .....  

In addition to that unfortunately U.S , against the advise of its forefathers ,has been siding with one specific country in all of its foreign affairs  ...... This and this alone will eventually bring it down ........

Now who is next ?  I can only guess .......... but no matter who ....  just remember what goes up must come down ..........  and it is true for any Empire ..... past , present , or future ........

So far, so good

The hardest part though, the after-Ghaddafi, is yet to come.
