Here is an interesting interview with a former CIA counter terrorism analyst on Russia Today that frustrates the interviewer and no doubt Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton.

Elsewhere, Mr. Scheuer has stated that the situation in Libya is none of our business and a recruiting tool for Al Queda.

False pretense for war in Libya?
The Boston Globe ^ | 14 April 2011 | Alan J. Kuperman
EVIDENCE IS now in that President Barack Obama grossly exaggerated the humanitarian threat to justify military action in Libya. The president claimed that intervention was necessary to prevent a “bloodbath’’ in Benghazi, Libya’s second-largest city and last rebel stronghold.
Misurata’s population is roughly 400,000. In nearly two months of war, only 257 people — including combatants — have died there. Of the 949 wounded, only 22 — less than 3 percent — are women. If Khadafy were indiscriminately targeting civilians, women would comprise about half the casualties.
Obama insisted that prospects were grim without intervention. “If we waited one more day, Benghazi . . . could suffer a massacre that would have reverberated across the region and stained the conscience of the world.’’ Thus, the president concluded, “preventing genocide’’ justified US military action.
But intervention did not prevent genocide, because no such bloodbath was in the offing. To the contrary, by emboldening rebellion, US interference has prolonged Libya’s civil war and the resultant suffering of innocents.
The best evidence that Khadafy did not plan genocide in Benghazi is that he did not perpetrate it in the other cities he had recaptured either fully or partially — including Zawiya, Misurata, and Ajdabiya, which together have a population greater than Benghazi.
Libyan forces did kill hundreds as they regained control of cities. Collateral damage is inevitable in counter-insurgency. And strict laws of war may have been exceeded.

Re: Obama fools himself on Libya and Middle East
I've been following Scheuer for quite some time, and I think I have posted items from his blog on this board once or twice.
He has been consistent since I have been reading him, and that's something or a rarity these days.
His blog is called "Non-Intervention" for anyone who is interested.

Re: Obama fools himself on Libya and Middle East
NATO's war on Libya is nothing more than to oust Ghadaffi and take control of Libya's money and oil for the globalist agenda. Ghadaffi, despite 1988, has more class than Obama, Clinton, the British royals, NATO, the Bush family and the Rockefeller/Rothchild camp ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!
