Gaddafi

Gaddafi would be better to receive a nobel prize than Obama. Gaddafi never wanted war. Obama just continues it, and sends more troops everywhere. Theyr'e just hired guns, not America's army exactly.

On the same day, all the world’s leading media released a joint statement by Obama, Sarkozy, and Cameron, in which, as a justification for the need to escalate the coalition war in Libya, they repeat the myth that Gaddafi is a killer who started and is waging war against his own civilians and that the haste of the coalition was called for due to “humanitarian purposes” – the need to immediately stop the dictator. (The Times 04.15.2011) It is true that shortly before this appeal, Abdel Fattah Younes, Gaddafi’s former Interior Minister and now commander of the armed forces of the rebels, tarnished the noble reputation of the “insurgents”. Younes was indignant about the refusal of NATO forces to bomb Misurata because there are civilians there and said that “where there are Gaddafi’s troops, there are no civilians”. (BBCnews 04.05.2011)
Then the above-mentioned statement of the three leaders who started the war against Gaddafi was disavowed by the publication of a report by the Human Rights Watch mission to investigate the situation of the victims of Gaddafi’s troops at Misurata (the world’s media has repeated every day that there are many thousands of such victims among civilians in the words of “representatives of the rebels”). (Boston Globe 04.14.2011)
It turned out that the Human Rights Watch mission counted that in two months of war, 257 were killed and 949 were wounded in Misurata, and among the wounded there were only 22 women. This would have been completely impossible in the event of bombing civilians – in this case among the wounded there would have been many children and roughly an equal number of women and men. However, what is again remarkable and proves the existence of a coordinated disinformation campaign against the Libyan government is that neither the Human Rights Watch report nor the Boston Globe article appeared in the mainstream press and television. The world’s media in the days that followed just as assiduously repeated the “messages of the Libyan opposition” about the hundreds and thousands of Gaddafi victims among the civilian population. On April 18th, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton said that the EU countries had agreed to send ground troops to Libya for the protection of humanitarian convoys, “if so requested by the UN”. She stressed that these troops would not participate in hostilities and thus do not violate the UN Security Council resolution. (ITAR-TASS  04.18.2011). On April 19th, coalition aircraft began to carry out missile and bomb strikes on the central areas of Tripoli and other towns under the control of Gaddafi “with the aim to protect civilians”.  (ITAR-TASS 04.20-22.2011)
On April 21st, Barack Obama sanctioned the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with missile weapons in operations against Gaddafi. (The Washington Post 04.21.2011) On April 22nd, U.S. Senator John McCain arrived in Benghazi and urged the U.S.A. and other countries around the world to immediately recognize the “Transitional National Council” of the rebels as the only legitimate authority in Libya, to provide it with all the frozen assets of the Libyan Government, to increase air strikes on Gaddafi, and to intensify training of insurgents and the supply of weapons to them. (The Associated Press 04.22.2011).
On the same day, the Sarkozy administration announced its intention to unfreeze “Gaddafi’s assets” and to begin funding the Libyan opposition with them. (Reuters 04.22.2011).
Also on the same day, Gaddafi’s troops left Misurata; moreover Gaddafi invited representatives of the local tribes to negotiate themselves with the rebels for surrender, or to fight them themselves. (AFP 04.22.2011) 
On April 23rd, fighting in Misurata resumed and NATO aircraft bombed the central districts and suburbs of Tripoli. On April 24th, NATO undertook missile and bomb strikes on the Libyan government administrative complex, Bab al-Azizia, in the heart of Tripoli, which were the most powerful since the war began. According to reports by journalists in Tripoli, one of the buildings in the complex was destroyed and the others were badly damaged. More than 45 people were injured, 15 of them seriously, and all three state TV channels stopped broadcasting for an hour. (Reuters 04.25.2011; RBCdaily 04.25.2011)
Also on the same day, the Italian La Stampa reported that Rome had sent groups of Special Forces to Libya to help the Benghazi rebels as early as a few weeks ago. On April 30th, both the “the interim government in Benghazi” and NATO leaders rejected another offer by Gaddafi to negotiate a truce without preliminary conditions (Reuters 04.30.2011), after which the firing on Misurata and rebel positions in Western Libya by Gaddafi’s military forces and the NATO bombing of Gaddafi’s forces continued. On the night of April 30th to May 1st, as a result of NATO bombing of one of the residences of Muammar Gaddafi in Tripoli, his 29-year-old son, Saif al-Arab and Gaddafi’s three young grandchildren were killed: two year-old Carthage, the daughter of Hannibal Gaddafi; five-year Macura, daughter of Colonel Gaddafi’s daughter Aisha; and 15-month-old Saif Muhammad, Muhammad Gaddafi’s son, as well as several friends and neighbors. It is reported that Maummar Gaddafi himself and his wife were in the same residence, but were not affected (The WSJ 05.03.2011). Moreover, NATO officials stated that the target in their attack was not the Libyan leader or his family, but “military targets”. Mass demonstrations calling for revenge for the death of the Libyan leader’s son and grandchildren of Libyan leader have taken place on the Libyan territory controlled by Gaddafi. In Tripoli, the (long-closed) Embassies of the U.S.A., Britain and Italy were destroyed. Moreover, the Libyan Deputy Foreign Minister, Khaled Kaim, immediately apologized for the violation of diplomatic rules, saying that the police could not cope with the crowd, outraged by the NATO bombing and the deaths of the relatives of Libyan leader, and announced that the Libyan leadership will assess the damage inflicted on diplomatic missions and carry out repair restoration work (Reuters 05.02.2011).Against the backdrop of this “war”, a scandal between EU countries is unfolding over the reception of refugees from Libya, which are coming to Italy in a rising tide (mostly to Lampedusa). The matter has gone so far that in connection with the problem, France has initiated a review within the EU to suspend the Schengen agreements,  (Euronews 04.22.2011) which has been met with understanding and support not only by Italy, but also by Germany and a number of other countries. While the talk is of a “temporary” suspension of the Schengen open borders, some experts are already saying that this “temporary” measure may end up being indefinitely prolonged.
