NATO: "Kill Qaddafi!"



As we have predicted (see Libya Time Zero pdf) despite that the UN mandate authorized NATO's intervention in Libya in respect of protecting civilians by enforcing a no - fly zone now it is becoming clear that the civilians of the "other side" characterized as regime's supporters are the one at risk as not being innocent enough to be protected from the on going bombing. NATO after 100 days of war with 12,000 sorties flown in 5,000 attack missions and hit over 2,400 targets first admitted that there were casualties among civilians and now the US Admiral Samuel J. Locklear has confirmed that NATO forces are trying to kill Muammar Qaddafi. It is more than obvious that when Obama claimed that the regime change is not the ultimate goal of NATO's involvement in Libya he was just making a "negative affirmation".
From a totally neglected organization during the Yugoslavia war the UN has now "promoted" to a tool of enforcing a regime change by war without any respect on human lives.
The Defence Secretary Dr Liam Fox insisted that strikes in Libya are not intented to kill Qaddafi but he refused to answer whether a RAF gunner who found Gaddafi in his sights should shoot him.
