I dont believe the official line for why we are in Libya, supposedly we are there to stop Gaddafi from slaughtering innocent people. Yet if you read between the lines on the biased news articles that the Mass media spews out, its clear that the battles are between Armed Rebels and the Libyan Army. Most casualties seem to be Rebel and Libyan Army to, with a small ammount of "real" civilian deaths. In other words we are being lied to day in and day out about Libya. There is no intentional killing of civilians, the only deliberate "civilian" deaths are those civilians who chose to pick up AK47s and attack the Army.
The MSM is claiming every Rebel death as a "Civilian" death to make Libya look urgent. Why ? Who knows, but its a load of bullshit and we have no business picking a side to win a Civil war. From the bombings of ground units, including tanks and artillery to the shelling of jeeps, its clear we are trying to destroy Libya's ground forces so that the Rebels can win. Oh and the Rebels just appointed a US educated man to be their leader today [can you say Puppet?].
Heres the latest article from the Associated press. Read between the lines...Notice how there is no mention of Rebels in Misrata at first, that comes later and its very brief. We are supposed to believe the city is surrounded by Gaddafi's army so that they can kill innocent people and nothing more. But later on in the article, the AP slips up and Rebels are mentioned in Misrata [shock!]. The city of Zintan is mentioned later on to, Zintan is where we get a better picture of what the real picture of Libya is [and what is going on in Misrata aswell]. It is clearly a Civil war and nothing more or less.

"Speaking from the U.S. command ship in the Mediterranean, Rear Adm. Gerard Hueber said the coalition was targeting Gadhafi's mechanized forces, his artillery and mobile missile sites as well as ammunition and other military supplies. He said coalition forces have moved west to try to protect Ajdabiya and Misrata.
A doctor in Misrata said the tanks fled after the airstrikes began around midnight, giving a much-needed reprieve to the city, which is inaccessible to human rights monitors or journalists. He said the airstrikes, which Canada said were from its pilots, struck the aviation academy and a vacant lot outside the central hospital."
Later on the article slips up and mentions rebels in Misrata..
"The withdrawal of the tanks from Misrata was a rare success for the rebels. The disorganized opposition holds much of the east but has struggled to take advantage of the international air campaign that saved them from the brink of defeat."
So the truth comes out. We bombed Misrata to give the Rebels a chance of taking that city back. And we call it a Rebel success to boot, when they only managed to claim land that we cleared for them via bombing.
Later on the article talks about Zintan.
"In Zintan, a resident said Gadhafi's forces were at the base of a nearby mountain and were shelling in that area,
but rebels forced their retreat from all but one side of the city. After five days of fighting, resident Ali al-Azhari said, rebel fighters captured or destroyed several tanks, and seized trucks loaded with 1,200 Grad missiles and fuel tanks. They captured five Gadhafi troops.
Al-Azhari, who spoke to The Associated Press by phone from the city, said one officer told rebels he had order "to turn Zintan to a desert to be smashed and flattened." Resentment against Gadhafi runs high in Zintan, a city of 100,000 about 75 miles (120 kilometers) south of Tripoli, because it was the hometown of many of the detained army officers who took part in a failed coup in 1993.
Pro-Gadhafi troops who have besieged Ajdabiya attacked a few hundred rebels on the outskirts Wednesday. The rebels fired back with Katyusha rockets but have found themselves outgunned. Plumes of smoke rose over the city, which is 95 miles (150 kilometers) south of the de-facto rebel capital of Benghazi.
People fleeing the violence said the rebels controlled the city center while Gadhafi's forces were holding the outskirts."
The quoted part of the AP article below is ironic, since its such a bold lie. Anyone keeping a eye on Libya prior to Western intervention knew that Libya's army was about to win their Civil war. But at the last minute the West jumped in to save the Rebels. The Rebels were clearly defeated, since they were pushed back to their stronghold of Benghazi and that city was about to fall when we began our bombing campaign.
"Neither the rebels nor Gadhafi has mustered the force for an outright victory, raising concerns of a prolonged conflict in the cities were they are locked in combat, such as Misrata and Zintan in the west and Ajdabiya, a city of 140,000 that is the gateway to the east."
Clearly it is a civil war and we have no business in Libya. If a large group of
Armed Rebels rose up and took New York city by force and other areas...You know for a fact that the National guard and the Army would be sent in asap. And any civilian deaths from that conflict would be blamed on the Rebels to, since they started the conflict. Remember, peaceful protests are Ok but violent ones are not [thats the US policy in our own country]. So we are hypocrites.
So what are we after in Libya...Is it so that France and the UK can lock down their Oil supply ? Europe gets most of their Oil from Libya, maybe that is why the US is not as eager as they are to attack Libya. France especially is gung-ho to jump into Libya.
