Libya has a New Leader

October 28th, 2011

   The Libyan government has an interim leader now that Gadhafi has been deposed. I will wait and see what this means to the United States but he doesn’t seem to be an anti US hard liner. He may be easy for us to work with but we will have to see. He hasn’t been [...]

   I don’t know why but the UN has called for an investigation into the death of the longtime leader of Libya. I can answer all of the questions right now. He was taken alive into an ambulance, was later found with a bullet hole in his head means that he was execured pure and [...]

    Amnesty International has just concluded a study in which they conclude that Libyan rebels have been responsible for committing some atrocities during the civil war which recently occurred there. I don’t doubt it at all and even the rebels have admitted that they made some mistakes but we need to look at some circumstances [...]

Gadhafi may be Cornered

September 8th, 2011

   Libyan rebels seem to be sure that they have Moammar Gadhafi cornered but the US says that no one really knows where he is. If you ask me I believe that the US is downplaying the situation. Rebels say that they used technology to track and corner Mr. Gadhafi which I believe has a [...]

   The US has weapons teams on the ground in Libya whose job is to locate the weapons of mass destruction that Mr. Gadhafi is known to have and establish accountability for them. The big question right now is where it is located? We want to get it before he can use it to launch [...]

I’m not one hundred per cent sure about the operation in Libya but it seems that the Rebel force is conducting more offensive operations than they have been in the past. This is a good indicator that the tide of the battle is turning in their favor. Offensive operations are attacking operations and as long [...]

The US State Department has sent a message to the Libyan leader which leaves no room for debate. In a communication with Libyan officials the word given for Mr. Gadhafi was that the only way for the current conflict to end is for him to leave the country. The Libyans though that there would be some [...]

There is a growing concern in Europe that Libya may be supplying al-Qaeda with weapons. This is of concern because it hits home to Europe. North Africa is only  a short distance away so it would be relatively easy for their operatives to slip into Europe and do their dirt. Maybe this situation will energize the EU to get [...]

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, his sons, and his Intelligence Chief. The warrants have been issued for various reasons but the underlying factor seems to be human rights abuses by Mr Gadhafi and his government. The indictments stem from charges of killing, injuring, and arresting innocent civilians. Their [...]

The Libyan leader is under international investigation and it is likely that arrest warrants willl be issued but the international community doesn’t have the bite to make anything stick or to exact justice. NATO has not been able to put enough pressure on him to help the rebels gain and hold any sighificant ground there. [...]
