20 March, 2011 GlobalResearch.ca http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=20110319&articleId=23801 The U.S. and itsallies are embarking on another regime change operation. Before they startedtheir attacks on the Libyans, they admitted that there would be civilianscasualities in an act of irony. They claim to be acting to save civilians, butthey will be killing them. "Prime MinisterStephen Harper said the action amounts to an 'act of war' that is critical toremove Moammar Gadhafi from power before he massacres any more of his ownpeople," according to the Edmonton Journal. [1] It also added: "Theprime minister acknowledged that the military operation will be complex andcould lead to casualties among the very civilians that nations are trying toprotect, and perhaps among the military personnel being sent to Libya."[2] The war criminals areback at it again. Hours after the attacks,sources in Libyahave reported that three medical facilities were bombarded.[3] Two werehospitals and one a medical clinic.[4] These were civilian facilities. Al-Tajura Hospitalwas hit as was Saladin Hospital in Ain Zara. Theclinic that was bombed was also located in the vicinity of Tripoli, the Libyan capital.[5] Not onlywhere these civilian structures, but they were also all far away from thecombat zone. Civilian air facilitiesthroughout Libyahave been attacked.[6] Libyan sources have also said that all the Libyanmilitary academies have also been destroyed. [7] This is a means to prevent Libya fromtraining officers to defend itself. The same sources havealso said that all Libyan military bases were attacked, even ones that have noconnection with imposing a no-fly zone. Libyan air bases, naval bases, andground bases were attacked by the new Iraq-style "coalition of thewilling." Moreover, a vast naval blockade around Libya has now been imposed by the U.S. and itsallies. According to(unconfirmed) internal Libyan sources, two French jets were also shot down bythe Libyan military near Janzour (Janzur/Zanzur). [7] According to the samesource, another French military jet was shot down by the Libyans near Anjile.[8] People in Benghaziare also fleeing the city, because of the war. [9] Surt (Sidra) and Misratahhave also been attacked by the French, the U.S., the British and theircoalition allies.[10] The U.S. and itsallies are now the ones that are creating a real humanitarian disaster. Theytalk about peace while they arm the Benghazi-based opposition rebels via theEgyptian military junta, which is as much a military client as its so-calledcivilian predecessor.[11] This is also a violation of the United NationsSecurity Council resolution that the U.S. and its allies passed, which statesthat no weapons are to be sent to Libya. Hillary Clinton was inboth Tunisia and Egypt in relation to the operations directedagainst Libya.Both the regime in Tunis and the militaryjunta in Cairo are overtly and covertlysupporting the war against Libya.The autocrats of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have also indicated thatthey will send military forces to attack Libya.
