US-Led NATO and the Libyan Revolution Against Qaddafi
Editorial Note
By Hassan El-Najjar
Al-Jazeerah, CCUN, March 8, 2011
Stephen Lendman* provides a different reading of the Libyan revolution against the dictatorial regime of Qaddafi. Basically, he argues that this is a precursor for a US-led NATO invasion and occupation of Libya for its vast energy resources.
While exploitation of Libya's energy resources is a true US-led NATO objective, it cannot be used to explain the current spirit of the Arab revolution against dictatorship.
All Arab dictatorial regimes have been supported by the US-led NATO countries in order to keep the Middle East as stable as possible to allow the exploitation of energy resources and maintain hegemonic status of the Zionist state of Israel.
The weakest point in the Lendman's argument is that the other Arab revolutions have been taking place in the poorest Arab states of Tunisia, Egypt, and Yemen. However, this argument deserves to be thought about. US-led NATO imperialism may take advantage of the instability to invade and occupy the energy-rich Arab states. But this is taking advantage of the situation, not planning and executing Arab revolutions against dictatorships.

Libyan Revolutionaries Repel Qaddafi Dictatorial Forces, US-EU TV Networks Lose Battle to Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya
Al-Jazeerah, CCUN, Mar 6, 2011
Editor's Note:
News about the Libyan revolution against the dictatorial regime of Qaddafi are continuous to the extent that written news reports, such as those of AP, AFP, and Reuters below, cannot cope with the developments on the ground. Only the two Arab TV stations of Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya have been capable of reporting instantaneous developments there.
US-EU corporate TV networks have lost the battle and withdrew, not only because of frustrating their viewers by continuous commercials every few minutes, as Hillary Clinton observed. Rather, they have left their viewers least informed about Arab revolutions because the owners and controllers of these TV stations don't want their viewers to understand why Arabs are revolting. They don't want Americans and Europeans to question their governments about their support in money and arms to these brutal and dictatorial regimes.
The Zionist media in the US and EU don't want Americans and Europeans to know that the Arab dictators have been supported by the US-EU governments for no other reason than the subjugation of the Arab Nation to the Israeli Zionist regional superpower.
It seems that Zionists are losing more and more of their operatives, who have been supported to control Arab governments, as dictators. The Arab Revolution has cost them operatives Bin Ali in Tunisia, Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, Qaddafi in Libya, and soon Ali Abdullah Saleh in Yemen as well as Maliki in Iraq. All indicators point to major changes in all Arab states, even in those states in which the regime may not be changed completely.
Dictatorial Forces of Qaddafi Attack Revolting
Cities East and West, Killing Scores of Libyans

News Summary and Commentry
Forces of the Libyan dictator,
Mou'ammer Al-Qaddhafi, attacked Libyan cities and harbors revolting against
him in the east and west of the country.
Major raids of the
dictatorial forces targeted the city of Al-Zawiya west of the capital,
Tripoli, as well as the harbors of Buraiqa (Brega in Slang Arabic) and
Ras Lanouf in the east.
It seems that
the dictator is targeting them in an attempt to extend the area he controls,
which is basically the capital and his home town of Sirt. Attacking the
revolutionary forces in the two oil harbors is a message to the outside
world that he can destroy or block the export of oil from these harbors.
In other words, the Libyan dictator is using these cities and oil-export
harbors as bargaining chips with the outside world, particularly the US and
EU.
The revolutionary forces, on the other hand, have shown a
non-wavering determination not only to repel the mercenary forces of the
dictator but also to continue their build up to march against him in his
Tripoli headquarters of Bab Al-'Aziziya.
The revolutionary forces
have also been more organized and their political leadership in Bani Ghazi
has been reinforced by more representatives from all cities joining the
National Council, headed by the former Minister of Justice, Abdul Jalil.
The Council has also acquired more strength by more Libyan officials
inside and outside the country declaring their affiliation to it and their
denunciation to the dictator and his criminal and mercenary forces.
Prominant among these officials was Abdul Rahman Shalqam, the Libyan
Ambassador to the UN, who denounced the war crimes committed by the Qaddafi
forces. He also asked Qaddafi to choose either to leave the country, like
the Tunisian dictator did, or to resign and leave to his home town, like the
Egyptian dictator did, as reported by Aljazeera TV.

Al-Zawiya Revolutionary City Celebrates Winning a Battle Against Forces of Dictator Qaddafi

News commentary

Arabs have been waiting impatiently for Libyans to achieve their goal of ending the dictatorial regime of Mou'ammer Al-Qaddafi. Libyan revolutionaries have achieved most of their goal by controlling all of the country except the capital and the city of Sirt. It seems that the Libyan dictator does not want to accept the people's will to depose him. He has decided to fight to the end, causing more bloodshed and more suffering among Libyans.
The Libyan revolutionaries have established their own military council to
defend the country and to help in the final attack on the dictator's
headquarters in Tripoli. A national unity government is being established
with representatives from all cities, headed by the former Minister of
Justice, who is located in Bani Ghazi.
Yemenis, like all Arabs, were
watching Aljazeera TV, which covers the Arab Revolution 24/7, hoping that
the Libyan dictator leaves office as the Tunisian and Egyptian dictators
did. Because he refused to do that so far, Yemenis have resumed their
protests to throw out the regime of the Yemeni dicator, Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Indeed, there are different types of dictators. Some of them are smart
with good sports spirit, like Bin Ali, who accepted the defeat and left
early on, without further bloodshed. There are also dum dictators, like
Hosni Mubarak, who needed millionis and millions of Egyptians to tell him
again and again that they did not want him anymore, until finally he got it.
A third type of dictators are the bloody ones, like Qaddafi, who won't
accept defeat and will do everything they can to cause more bloodshed, harm,
and suffering to peopl before they are forced out by the force of arms.
Anyway, Yemenis are saying that they won't wait for Libyans to finish
their job, so are the Iraqis who went out in protests all over Iraq on
Friday, followed by Omanis yesterday.

Yemeni Revolution in Full-Force in Various
Cities Despites Attempts of the US-Backed Dictator, Ali Saleh, to Stay in
Power

The Yemeni revolution is in full-force with protests in almost all of
the Yemeni cities, calling for befalling the dictatorial regime, starting
with the dictator, Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Arabs have been waiting
impatiently for Libyans to achieve their goal of ending the dictatorial
regime of Mou'ammer Al-Qaddafi. Libyan revolutionaries have achieved most of
their goal by controlling all of the country except the capital and the city
of Sirt. It seems that the Libyan dictator does not want to accept the
people's will to depose him. He has decided to fight to the end, causing
more bloodshed and more suffering among Libyans.
Yemenis, like all
Arabs, were watching Aljazeera TV, which covers the Arab Revolution 24/7,
hoping that the Libyan dictator leaves office as the Tunisian and Egyptian
dictators did. Because he refused to do that so far, Yemenis have resumed
their protests to throw out the regime of the Yemeni dicator, Ali Abdullah
Saleh.
So far, Yemeni protests have been peaceful but if the police
continue to kill protests, Yemenis may resort to burning police stations,
like their brethren in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya did before. Then, the
dictator will be forced either to leave or to use his secret security forces
to prolong the suffering period of the revolution.
One ridiculous
development happened today when the Yemeni dictator accused the US and
Israel of standing behind the Arab revolution. He forgot that he and his
regime would not have continued without support from the US. He ignored the
fact that he allowed the CIA to operate publicly in Yemen, flying drones to
kill Yemeni citizens suspected of being members of Al-Qaeda !!!
Hosni
Mubarak and Bin Ali did not go that low to accuse their Israeli and Zionist
masters of toppling them. Indeed, there are different types of dictators.
Some of them are smart with good sports spirit, like Bin Ali, who accepted
the defeat and left early on, without further bloodshed. There are also dum
dictators, like Hosni Mubarak, who needed millionis and millions of
Egyptians to tell him again and again that they did not want him anymore,
until finally he got it. A third type of dictators are the bloody ones, like
Qaddafi, who won't accept defeat and will do everything they can to cause
more bloodshed, harm, and suffering to peopl before they are forced out by
the force of arms.
Anyway, Yemenis are saying that they won't wait
