From the very beginning the US-backed Libyan unrest played out in oafish measures, crutched along by the most irresponsible, intellectually dishonest "journalism" to date. A week before the unrest began, it was the the London based National Conference of Libyan Opposition (NCLO) that called for the February 17th "Day of Rage," not Libyans in the streets of Tripoli or Benghazi.
The NCLO itself was created in London in 2005 by Ibrahim Sahad and his National Front for the Salvation of Libya (NFSL), which in turn has been one of the leading Libyan opposition groups since the 1980's. The Daily Globe and Mail has reported that Sahad's NFSL had been behind several attempted armed uprisings and assassination attempts against Qaddafi in the 1980's, while records found in the US Library of Congress indicate Sahad's NFSL had CIA support and training.
Sahad himself now directs the unrest in Libya from Washington D.C. while giving interviews with the corporate owned media literally in front of the White House.
With the entire justification for US/NATO/UN intervention unraveling before military assets are even put into place, is the Anglo-American establishment so utterly desperate as to continue on in spite of reality and an awakening public? Is it not bad enough the Libyan opposition is openly working out of Washington D.C., but to also have the US military assist these foreign backed rebels into power at the cost of Libya's sovereignty? Qaddafi has been accused of many things as of late - but it appears when everyone tells their side of the story, his regime's tale of a foreign plot strikes closer to the truth than the rest of the "international community."
