Quotes from Israeli Prime Ministers are enough proof that Israel does not want peace, they want to see Palestinians leave, or die

Pentagon admits Direct involment with military action in Libya, despite Obama’s claims, big loss for U.S. taxpayers

President Obama has said over and over that the United States would play a supporting role for NATO, in the attacks on Libya.

Now the Pentagon admits they’ve been directly involved with attacking Libya.

U.S. forces have launched at least three air strikes per day, for the past 12 days.  These attacks are done by UAVs.  Even though the bombings are done with UAVs that does not negate the fact that it means direct U.S. military involvement.

The total cost of U.S. involvement in the attacks on Libya, have cost taxpayers $1 billion, so far.  And don’t think the U.S. military industrial complex is making enough money off this to make up for the $1 billion in spent tax revenues, so far only $220 million in weapons and ammo have been sold to NATO members.

Reports say the Libyan army has rebels retreating to Tunis.

Bokamash, a boarder town 17 kilometers from Tunis was hit by Libyan government forces, as rebel forces tried to flee across the border.

Libyan government forces frees one of Gaddafi’s sons, another son is leading the counter attack in Libya, it’s funny how Gaddafi’s sons keep coming back from the grave, and how many times Gaddafi has fled, only to be found still in Tripoli

Rebels had claimed they detained three of Muammar Muhammad al-Gaddafi’s sons.  Now one of those son’s, Mohamed Gaddafi, was rescued by the Libyan army.

Another son, Khamis Gaddafi, is leading the surprise counter attack, and has pushed rebels out of 80% of Tripoli.

I wonder how many people have realized that the western media has reported many times in the past that Gaddafi’s sons were killed by rebels?  Now we’re being told the rebels captured them in Tripoli, the very sons that had been killed.  And one of those sons is leading a counter attack.  One blogger counted 17 previous times the western media reported that Gaddafi’s sons were killed.

Also, the western media has reported many times that Gaddafi has been killed or has fled the country.  The most recent western media report said that Gaddafi was in Tunis.  Lies, lies and more lies, it turns out that Gaddafi is still in Tripoli, taking part in the counter attack.

Live reporter says NATO is behind attack on Tripoli, says NATO is trying to kill reporters who mention al-Qaeda’s involvment with rebels

“They are specifically targeting the areas where international journalists are, to sow panic here. NATO has done all the heavy work.  This is a NATO war. They heavily bombed cities west of [Tripoli], they’ve bombed all night, without even 10 seconds of stopping.  They have bombed this entire city and NATO landed the insurgents on the coast of Tripoli.”-Mahdi Nazemroaya, independent journalist

The reporter was giving a live report for the Russian media, he said he and all the journalists staying at the Nixos hotel were being shot at by NATO and rebel forces.  Gunshots could be heard in his live report from the hotel.

Pro-Gaddafi hotel staff grabbed guns and fought off the rebels: “More members of the hotel staff have returned with guns.  Obviously they have been fighting.  These are volunteers, not soldiers.  They returned with a picture which is not a picture of loss and they are confident.”

Nazemroaya says he and other journalists were told by U.S. and other Pro-western news organizations, like CNN and al Jazeara, not to mention al-Qaeda, or they would be killed.  He says many of the “western” journalists are not true journalists, but ‘security guards’ working to intimidate independent journalists.
