A curious turn of events has occured.
A week or two ago the Libyan 'rebels' did not want any help. They did not want a no fly zone. They allegedly sent the SAS and MI6 away with their tails between their legs. They wanted a revolution of the people.
But now, with the tragedy of Japan now consuming time and space in all media, the 'rebels' are now calling for the assassination of Gaddafi and military strikes on Gaddafi's armed forces.[1]
And these military strikes may occur after the Saudis reached an agreement with Hilary Clinton that such strikes could proceed against Gaddafi if the Saudis could invade Bahrain and put down the revolution there.[2]
In the meantime, NATO is still killing women and children in Afghanistan, and there is still a civil war in Palestine that is the stated prime source of anger within the Arab world.
So what does NATO stand for?
(a) North Atlantic Treaty Organisation
(b) NArco Terrorist Organistaion
(c) North Africa Takeover Organisation
(d) All of the above
