All the evidence one needs to know that the story we are being told about Libya is BS is the fact that we have not bombed other countries for doing the same things that we are told Libya did.
Example... we were told that protesters in Libya were being killed and we needed to go in for "humanitarian" reason. Yet why have we not involved ourselves in Darfur which has been ongoing for over 10 years? Why are we not bombing Syria? What did we not involve ourselves in Saudi Arabia? Why are we not bombing Egypt? Yemen? The list goes on and on, but for some reason we had to bomb Libya?

It sounds like Western countries were trying to force Libya into becoming a country it couldn't obviously become because of the fact the people in Libya follow Islamic values and not Western values. Whats more, the New Rebel NTC government intend too fully enforce Sharia Law in Libya...Go Figure...
Also, contradictory to popular belief and the Rebels finding extreme satisfaction burning it - Gaddafi's Green book is hardly extremist and against Human rights. Read it and judge for yourself. Gaddafi's Green Book
...
A 19-year-old woman shackled to a bed and under guard in a Tripoli military hospital is accused of executing as many as 11 anti-Gadhafi fighters after being ordered to shoot them at point-blank range.
The U.K.'s Daily Mail reports that Nisreen Mansour al Forgani, who was a recruit in one of Moammar Gadhafi's all-female militias, admitted in an interview with the paper that she shot the prisoners before the fall of Tripoli last week.
"I killed the first one, then they would bring another one up to the room," Nisreen said, according to the newspaper. "He would see the body on the floor and look shocked. Then I would shoot him too. I did it from about a metre away."
The woman said she initially resisted when she was ordered to shoot the prisoners, but was threatened with death herself if she didn't comply.
"I turned and shot without looking. But if I hesitated, one of the soldiers would flick off the safety catch of his own rifle and point it at me. I killed 10, perhaps 11, over three days. I don’t know what they had done.”

Just sayin' that just because a spouse behaves poorly One cannot conclude that this behavior extends to the One being examined. If the abuse occurred, Gaddafi may not even have KNOWN about it. We cannot assume that because One is abusive it follows that the spouse is, too.

I did but couldn't read further because most of the "suggestions and improvements" were a bunch of BS:
95.18. Conform to the provisions of article 6 of the International Covenant on
Civil and Political Rights, and move towards a moratorium on executions with
a view to considering the definite abolition of the death penalty (France);
95.19. Commute all existing death sentences and establish a moratorium on the use of the death penalty as a step towards its abolition, as declared in the Great Green Charter of Human Rights in the Jamahiriyan Era (United Kingdom);
95.20. Abolish the death penalty and, in any event, establish a moratorium as an interim measure towards full abolition (Australia);
Abolish the Death Penalty? REALLY????
Please...thats just too much

Looks like half the countries in the world (including the USA) could be seeing a "humanitarian intervention" soon.edit on 30-8-2011 by CasiusIgnoranze because: .

Right
HOWEVER they justified going in when Gaddafi started to shell/bomb/shoot his own people when they were protesting in the street.. again people are forgetting this

Well, to add more Grist for the Mill -- I have this story;
Al Qaeda after Gadaffi?
www.dawn.com...
Why is Al Qaeda after Gadaffi? Is it a religious thing?
Al Qaeda started in Saudi Arabia ...
.... my own theory is that it was a Saudi "Black Flag" group that pretended to try and oust the government so they could infiltrate the opposition and steer them towards other goals.
Then it got supported by the CIA and it's been our "Muslim extremists" that help us to invade countries or get rid of pesky foes ever since. "WE" want Gadaffi out of the way of all that premium oil, and so Al Qaeda is going to do it so that we don't get our hands dirty.
Or maybe there is an Al Qaeda and they just happen to do things that strengthen Anti-Muslim authoritarians in the USA, attack the same people we have trouble with (Libya, Iran, Democrats), George Bush did a great job destroying America for them and al Qaeda is doing a great job making the lives of any rebels worse.

Survivors and human rights groups have said Gadhafi loyalists retreating from Tripoli after decades of brutal rule killed scores of detainees and arbitrarily shot civilians over the past week.
Council spokesman Ghoga said his representatives have collected names in cities rebels have liberated, resulting in a list of some 50,000 people rounded up by the Gadhafi regime since the uprising began six months ago. He said rebels freed 10,000 from prisons, leaving at least 40,000 unaccounted for.
Things could get real ugly and fast. If Gadaffi was innocent, he wouldn't be hiding.

Most of the rebels are fighting to have their personal version of a theocracy put in place. I'm not particularly enthralled with them.
sure they are not after freeing islamic prisoners who are widely al qaeda and that the fact king idrs family members are also severing the rebels in the NTC who are very pro western stance.

Do you ever actually have a stance that doesn't move around? You argue, but I can't ever figure out what stance you are actually taking. Pro Rebel, Pro Qadaffi, Pro The Opposite of whatever.
