French Diplomat Slams Obama: "Full of Hot Air But No Guts" (Le Figaro) 

Bitter testimony of a High profile French diplômat :

« The Libyan Crisis has proved that Obama is more of an intellectual that a man ofguts and actions. This explains much of the errors commited by his administration. In the very begining he didn’t even want to go to Libya.Intellectually speaking maybe he was not entirely wrong, but politically he was. He would tell us that he did not want another Iraq or Afghanistan on his hands), that he did not know how this nex conflict would end up and that the US had no major interests in Libya. The Americans – and boy you cannot imagine to what degree – multiplied their efforts to discourage any initiative at the UN. Only when he realized that Benghazi were to fall and that their would be riversof blood ( as literally expressed by Gaddafi’s son) then all of a sudden hedecided that it was OK to interfere , and that his Policy of neutrality was doomed»

According to this diplomat, "Obama can spend up to 10 meetings of three hours each (i.e : 30 hours) before making up his mind on a given urgent matter. He is a real intellectual ( ANN TELECTUAL ? … ;0) …) with no politicalinsight."

The diplomat concludes: « The American administration is totally centralized. Only Obama ultimately makes the major decisions on what should or should not be done. The Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is totally impotent as opposed to what her nomination seemed to suggest intitially in that strategically important post »

It says:

 What’s the shortest book ever written? French War Heroes.......... What’s the first thing French soldiers learn in basic training? How to surrender in ten languages........ How do you confuse a French soldier? Give him a rifle and tell him to shoot it.

And now do you really think that while the U.S. is talking about " kinetic military action" the French are top gunning the hell out of Libyan forces?

French Diplomat Slams Obama: "Full of Hot Air But No Guts"

French Diplomat Slams Obama: "Full of Hot Air But No Guts" - Report by War Correspondent Georges Malbrunot

« La crise libyenne nous a montré qu’Obama était vraiment un cérébral qui n’a pas de tripes. Ce qui explique pas mal d’erreurs commises de sa part. Au début, il ne voulait pas du tout y aller. Intellectuellement, il n’avait peut-être pas tort, mais politiquement il se trompait. Il nous faisait dire qu’il ne voulait pas d’une troisième guerre pour les Etats-Unis (après l'Irak et l'Afghanistan, ndlr), qu’il ne savait pas comment cela allait finir, et que les Etats-Unis n’ont pas d’intérêts vitaux en Libye. Les Américains - vous ne pouvez pas l’imaginer - nous ont multiplié les entraves à l’ONU. Puis d’un seul coup, lorsqu’Obama a vu que Benghazi allait tomber, et que des rivières de sang allaient couler, comme en menaçait le fils de Kadhafi, le président américain a décidé d’y aller, il s’est rendu compte que son opposition à une intervention en Libye devenait intenable ». 

Selon ce diplomate, Obama est capable « de passer dix réunions de trois heures avant de prendre une décision. C’est un vrai intellectuel, auquel il manque un peu de sens politique». 

Et ce fin connaisseur des Etats-Unis d’ajouter : « Le système américain est totalement centralisé. Il n’y a qu’Obama qui prend les décisions. Hilary Clinton (la secrétaire d’Etat, ndlr) n’existe pratiquement pas, contrairement à ce qu’on pouvait espérer à sa nomination ».

'Hell on earth is an understatement' (bbc)

Al Qaeda is becoming a more

Al Qaeda is becoming a more prominent presence in the rebellion. There have been several reports of terrorists fighting side by side with rebel forces, most prominently from rebel leader Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, an Al Qaeda operative who fought in Afghanistan, was captured in Peshawar in 2002, and spent six years as a terrorist detainee in Lybia. Last month, he told the Italian newspaper “Il Sole 24 Ore” that jihadists he had recruited to fight against the United States in Iraq were currently on the front lines against Col. Gadhafi. “Members of Al Qaeda are also good Muslims and are fighting against the invader,” he added.

Libyan rebels to NATO: Get lost

Gaddafi refers to Barack Obama as "our son" ... Pesarak ... LOL

Referring to Barack Obama as "our son", the Libyan leader urged the US leader to end an "unjust war against a small people of a developing country", and dismissed the rebels as "al-Qaeda" militants.

His nation, he said, had been been hurt "morally" more than "physically".

Mrs Clinton said in Washington: "I don't think there is any mystery about what is expected from Mr Gaddafi at this time.

Gaddafi's Son Suggests "Papa Can be a Constitutional Monarch";0)

John Simpson reports:

aybe Saif al-Islam's instinct is to offer at least the appearance of change - the elections and political reforms which he maintains were already in the pipeline before the rebellion began in Libya.

In his BBC interview, he seemed to suggest that his father could remain as a kind of constitutional monarch, in place as a guarantor of the system, but not in day-to-day control of the government.

For the rebels, such a proposal is laughable. They believe that nothing short of Col Gaddafi's immediate departure will do. The cosmetics of political change will not do.

So we have a stalemate.

The Gaddafis, father and son, will not leave, and even with the huge support of Nato air power the rebels have not yet come close to forcing them out.

Until one side can defeat the other, it looks as though Libya will stay divided between east and west.

And some of the richest oil installations lie, tantalisingly enough, right on the front line.

John Simpson: Gaddafi's staying power (bbc)

Simpson: Gaddafi's staying power

"This is our country," said Saif al-Islam, Col Muammar Gaddafi's son, in a BBC interview late on Monday night. "You want us to leave? To go where?"

"To Zimbabwe?" I asked. "To Uganda?" He laughed: "Excuse me, no."

"To Venezuela?" "Ha, ha, ha." "Not going?" "Of course not."

Given the apparent determination of Saif al-Islam to hang on in Tripoli, we could be some way from the final stages of the Libyan crisis.

Col Gaddafi is not like former President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali of Tunisia, who flew into exile as soon as he heard the sound of demonstrators in the streets.

Nor is he like President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, who resisted leaving until he realised the US and the European countries were serious about wanting him to go.

The Gaddafis are a great deal tougher than that. And they are not beholden in any way to the great powers.

Nato says pro-Gaddafi forces using human shields in Misrata

Nato: Libya using human shields (bbc)

Nato spokeswoman Oana Lungescu told the BBC: "Misrata remains our number one priority... but [Gaddafi's troops] are using human shields to protect themselves."

Earlier a rebel urged Nato must do more to help the besieged western town.

Gen Abdul Fattah Younis of the anti-Gaddafi forces complained that bureaucracy was causing Nato to take hours to respond to calls for air strikes.

"[Nato] is letting the people of Misrata die every day," he said.

African Turmoil

I strongly agree the Libyan rebels should not be slaughtered off,as was going to happen.Ghadaffi is a horrorable leader,but just who is he dealing with? Al Qeada? The North Sudanese? Rebels like in the Ivory coast? Rebels like in Somalia? Is that's what's coming to Libya now and we are having a hand in it?
