17,000: The Total Number Of NATO Bombing Sorties On Libya / The Approximate Size Of The Largest Anti-War Protest In America






After 17,000 bombing runs by the Imperialist/African Colonialist forces in Libya the propaganda of "A Humanitarian Intervention" has been retired.

Now NATO blatantly operates as the air force power for the anti-government rebels.
Thus far there has not been a coordinated firestorm that is repudiating this fraudulent hijacking of the United Nations' original mandate.

How many billions of dollars of infrastructure in Libya has NATO destroyed?
How many billions of dollars in national revenues that kept the nation of people afloat have been suppressed by the (what was it called???)  "The Economic Hit Man" actions of the Imperialists and African Colonizers?

During my formative years in college the "Black Studies crowd" used to debate how every time an African nation raised its head up, in defiance of Europe or America - that head was cut off.    I am not sure what ever happened to the voice of those "Black Studies revolutionaries" who's thoughts were so clear.   They will likely be at the dedication of the King Memorial on the National Mall - singing "We Shall Overcome Someday".

from the CNN article
"What was initially supposed to be a neutral intervention to protect civilians that were threatened specifically in Benghazi has morphed into being largely a one-sided affair to support the Libyan rebel force to overthrow Gadhafi," says Micah Zenko of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Throughout the conflict NATO has continued to insist that all its actions are aimed at protecting civilians from pro-Gadhafi forces, and that it has not "taken sides." On Thursday, the Royal Air Force spoke of "precision strikes on former regime facilities at Sabratah [west of Tripoli], including a commando base which had been used by Colonel Gadhafi's men to launch numerous reprisals against the local people."
