Chomsky: 9/11 - was there an alternative? We are approaching the 10th anniversary of the horrendous atrocities of September 11, 2001, which, it is commonly held, changed the world. On May 1, the presumed mastermind of the crime, Osama bin Laden, was assassinated in Pakistan by a team of elite US commandos, Navy SEALs, after he was captured, unarmed and undefended, in Operation Geronimo. A number of analysts have observed that although bin Laden was finally killed, he won some major successes in his war against the US.
"He repeatedly asserted that the only way to drive the US from the Muslim world and defeat its satraps was by drawing Americans into a series of small but expensive wars that would ultimately bankrupt them," Eric Margolis writes. "'Bleeding the US,' in his words. The United States, first under George W Bush and then Barack Obama, rushed right into bin Laden’s trap ... That Washington was bent on fulfilling bin Laden’s fervent wishes was evident at once. The first 9/11 Was there an alternative? Crimes of aggression. TV Confuses Arma With Real Life.

Video Sirte: defeat of rebels 1. 2. 3. Terrorist Op-Ed: Libya's Al Qaeda Rebel Commander Writes Column for Britain's Progressive Media. Global elite defile memories of “War on Terror” dead, humor terrorist Belhaj who fought and killed Western troops. One would think Abdul Belhaj, leader of Libya’s NATO-backed seizure of Tripoli a month ago would be an overly busy man. After all, the city itself is still not secure enough to move the alleged “National Transitional Council” there to preside over the war torn nation, and rebel forces 85 miles southeast near Bani Walid have been soundly defeated and are now slinking away from the battlefield.
Meanwhile, the “final, final” siege of Sirte looks to be once again stalled, and now civilians fleeing the brutalized city are claiming NATO and revolutionaries, not Qaddafi, are committing genocide against the civilians of Libya. [1] Photo: The face of Libya’s “revolution” is literally Al Qaeda. The Western world now enters surreal territory as men who have certifiably killed Americans are writing pro-NATO propaganda for British newspapers. ….However, Mr. Image: Terrorist Op-Ed. Mass killing and humanitarian disaster in NATO siege of Sirte. By Bill Van Auken 29 September 2011 Refugees from the Libyan coastal city of Sirte report that thousands have died as a result of relentless NATO bombardment and shelling by the the Western-backed “rebels.” The two-week-old NATO siege of Sirte has left the city without adequate food, drinkable water, medicine and other basic necessities of life, creating hellish condition for its population of 100,000.
While the Benghazi-based National Transitional Council (NTC) has repeatedly issued announcements that the so-called rebels had advanced toward the city center under NATO air cover, they have again and again been forced to retreat under heavy fire from forces loyal to Col. Muammar Gaddafi, as well as what have been described as citizen volunteers. In their frustration, the anti-Gaddafi militias have pounded the coastal city with artillery and mortar rounds, tank shells and Grad rockets, wreaking horrific destruction. Reports from inside the city indicate a deepening humanitarian catastrophe. Guinea Bissau PM says Gaddafi welcome. Guinea Bissau Prime Minister Carlos Gomes Junior says Libya's leader Muammar Gaddafi would be welcomed "with open arms" in the West African country.
"If Gaddafi asks to come to Guinea Bissau we will welcome him with open arms and we will ensure his security," Gomes Junior was recorded as saying by radio station Radio Diffusion Portuguese (RDP). He made the statement to journalists while attending the inauguration of Cape Verde's new president Jorge Carlos Fonseca on Friday. However, in his speech of September 8, the Libyan leader vowed to stay in Libya, saying leaving is impossible: "We will never leave the land of our grandfathers". Guinea Bissau has not ratified the Rome Statute that established the International Criminal Court (ICC), which has issued an arrest warrant for Gaddafi. In early August, before rebel fighters launched an offensive in Tripoli, Gomes Junior told a conference: "Gaddafi and Libya are friends of Guinea Bissau.
Libya: Rebels Create Humanitarian Disaster, Then Blame it on Qaddafi. By Tony Cartalucci - BLN Contributing Writer Despite desperate attempts by Wall Street and London to proclaim their intervention in Libya a success, even going as far as sending their political proxies Nicolas Sarkozy of France and David Cameron of the United Kingdom for a quick photo opportunity at the rebel held airport in contested Tripoli, vast swaths of the nation are still fiercely resisting NATO and their proxy rebel forces.
This includes entire cities still standing in defiance against rebel attempts to "starve them out" and dozens of daily NATO airstrikes (NATO report for September 22) aimed at breaking the population's will to fight on. Weeks ago, the rebel forces, led by US State Department and UK Home Office listed terrorists from the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), a subsidiary of Al Qaeda, boldly announced plans to starve out cities resisting their unelected, foreign backed seizure of the North African nation.
This is also a verifiable war crime. Castro calls out Obama for genocide in Libya. Russ Baker Talks About Libya with George Galloway. Sirte civilians accuse NATO of genocide. CIVILIANS pouring out of the besieged city of Sirte accused NATO of committing genocide yesterday as revolutionary forces reinforced their numbers and prepared for a new attack on Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's home town. Long lines of civilian vehicles were seen leaving after a night punctuated by NATO air attacks. Forces fighting for the National Transitional Council (NTC) added their own artillery and mortar rounds at regular intervals. Civilians, many looking scared or sullen, said that conditions inside Sirte were "disastrous".
They made claims which, if verified, offer a conundrum for Nato, which operates with a UN mandate on the need to protect civilian life. "It has been worse than awful," said Riab Safran, 28, as his car was searched by revolutionary fighters. His family had been sleeping on the beach, he said. "They have hit all kinds of buildings: schools, hospitals," he said, referring to NATO airstrikes. Another resident said: "NATO bombing is killing civilians. Terrifying NATO Cluster Bomb in Libya - Raw Footage. The Battle for Libya Rages On While Imperialists Rush to Legitimize Rebels Persecution of Black Libyans draws international outcry. September 26, 2011 Despite the visit of British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolai Sarkozy to Libya on September 15, the struggle for the control of the oil-producing North African state of Libya is far from complete.
Battles for the control of Bani Walid and Sirte illustrate that the people who support the government of Muammar Gaddafi still represent a disciplined fighting force against the U.S. -NATO fighter jets and military operatives who are backing the National Transitional Council (NTC) rebels. The visit of the leaders of Britain and France was carried out to demonstrate their support for the NTC rebels who have so far failed to pull together a provisional government. This descending of the former colonizers of Africa also represented the two European countries way of claiming responsibility for the death and destruction they have wrought against Libya over the last seven months.
