Obama's Bay Of Pigs In Libya -
Imperialist Aggression Shreds UN Charter
By Webster G. Tarpley, PhD
Tarpley.net
3-19-11
Washington DC, March 19 Late today US and British cruise missiles
joined with French and other NATO combat aircraft in Operation Odyssey
Dawn/Operation Ellamy, a neo-imperialist bombing attack under fake
humanitarian cover against the sovereign state of Libya. Acting under
UN Security Council resolution 1973, US naval forces in the
Mediterranean on Saturday night local time fired 112 cruise missiles
at targets which the Pentagon claimed were related to Libya's air
defense system. But Mohammed al-Zawi, the Secretary General of the
Libyan Parliament, told a Tripoli press conference that the "barbaric
armed attack" and "savage aggression" had hit residential areas and
office buildings as well as military targets, filling the hospitals of
Tripoli and Misurata with civilian victims. Zawi accused the foreign
powers of acting to protect a rebel leadership which contains
notorious terrorist elements. The Libyan government repeated its
request for the UN to send international observers to report
objectively on events in Libya.
The attacking forces are expected to deploy more cruise missiles,
Predator drones, and bombers, seeking to destroy the Libyan air
defense system as a prelude to the systematic decimation of Libyan
ground units. International observers have noted that US intelligence
about Libya may be substandard, and that many cruise missiles may
indeed have struck non-military targets.
Libya had responded to the UN vote by declaring a cease-fire, but
Obama and Cameron brushed that aside. On Saturday, France 24 and al-
Jazeera of Qatar, international propaganda networks hyping the
attacks, broadcast hysterical reports of Qaddafi's forces allegedly
attacking the rebel stronghold of Bengazi. They showed a picture of a
jet fighter being shot down and claimed this proved Qaddafi was
defying the UN by keeping up his air strikes. It later turned out that
the destroyed plane had belonged to the rebel air force. Such coverage
provided justification for the bombing attacks starting a few hours
later. The parallels to the Kuwait incubator babies hoax of 1990 were
evident. Qaddafi loyalists said Saturday's fighting was caused by
rebel assaults on government lines in the hopes of provoking an air
attack, plus local residents defending themselves against the rebels.
At the UN vote, the Indian delegate correctly pointed out that the
decision to start the war had been made on the basis of no reliable
information whatsoever, since UN Secretary General Ban-ki Moon's envoy
to Libya had never reported to the Security Council. The bombing
started shortly after a glittering Paris summit "in support of the
Libyan people," where Sarkozy, Cameron, Hillary Clinton, Stephen
Harper of Canada and other imperialist politicians had strutted and
postured.
Token contingents from Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and
Saudi Arabia were supposed to take part in the attack, but were
nowhere to be seen, while some Arab states were expected to provide
financial support. The minimum estimated cost of maintaining a no-fly
zone over Libya for one year is estimated in the neighborhood of $15
billion enough to fund WIC high-protein meals for impoverished US
mothers and infants for two years.
From no-fly zone to regime change
The alleged purpose of the bombing was to establish a no-fly zone and
to protect a force of CIA-sponsored Libyan rebels composed of the
Moslem Brotherhood, elements of the Libyan government and army
subverted by the CIA (including such sinister figures as former
Justice Minister Mustafa Abdel-Jalil and former Interior Minister
Fattah Younis), and monarchist Senussi tribesmen holding the cities of
Benghazi and Tobruk. But twin Friday ultimatums by President Obama and
British premier Cameron, plus a speech by Harper, made clear that the
goal was the ouster of Colonel Muammar Qaddafi and regime change in
the North African oil-producing nation, whose proven reserves of crude
are the largest on that continent.
Prospects for military success are uncertain, despite the apparent
NATO preponderance. No clear military objective has been articulated,
and disagreements about the scope of the war are likely. If Qaddafi's
tanks and infantry are engaged in house to house battles with the
rebels in cities like Bengazi and Tobruk, it will be hard for NATO to
bring its air superiority to bear without massacring large numbers of
civilians.
From hope and change to shock and awe
While Obama's action is being widely compared to the Bush-Cheney 2003
attack on Iraq, parallels to the April 1961 Bay of Pigs fiasco are
also strong. In that instance, a force of anti-Castro Cubans organized
by the CIA was militarily defeated in an attempt to take over Cuba,
resulting in calls from Allen Dulles to President Kennedy for air
strikes and a ground invasion. Kennedy rejected those calls and fired
the Dulles CIA leadership. Obama, faced by the military collapse of a
CIA force in Libya, has ordered such bombing, opening a second phase
of the present US debacle.
The rebel region of Cerenaica has long been the scene of Moslem
brotherhood agitation against Qaddafi, much of it fomented from across
the Egyptian border with US assistance. After the failed 1995
assassination attempt against the Libyan leader reported by MI-5
defector David Shayler (for which MI-6 paid £100,000 to an al Qaeda
subsidiary), eastern Libya was the scene of a protracted Islamist
insurrection. In the wake of events in Tunisia and Egypt, it has
become clear that the CIA has stipulated a worldwide alliance against
existing Arab governments with the reactionary and oligarchical Muslim
brotherhood, which was created by British intelligence in Egypt in the
late 1920s. Al Qaeda of the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), another CIA front,
is trumpeting full support for the rebels on its website.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy was first to recognize the Benghazi
rebels, calling for a no-fly zone and air strikes a week earlier,
seconded by British Prime Minister Cameron. Until about 18 hours
before the UN vote, top US officials like Secretary of State Clinton
and Defense Secretary Gates were stressing the difficulties of a no-
fly zone. French Foreign Minister Juppé lamented that it was already
too late for a no-fly zone. Then, the US abruptly demanded a no-fly
zone plus a blank check for aerial bombing. Diplomatic observers are
puzzled by Obama's turnaround. Was he being blackmailed by the British
and the French, the same imperialist coalition that invaded Egypt to
seize the Suez Canal back in 1956? Because of Obama's decision, the US
is now at war with a fourth Moslem nation after Afghanistan, Iraq, and
Pakistan. In Pakistan, the simmering conflict is threatening to
escalate into the open at any time in the wake of the scandal around
CIA contractor Ray Davis, accused by the Pakistanis as a terrorist
controller.
The Arab League, surprising many analysts, had voted unanimously for a
no-fly zone over Libya. The African Union, by contrast, has resolutely
opposed foreign intervention. Western diplomats have discounted the AU
position, giving rise to suspicions of racism. These are reinforced by
reports that the anti-Qaddafi rebels have lynched a number of black
Africans, claiming that they were mercenaries hired by Qaddafi.
Interference in Libyan internal affairs violates UN Charter
Diplomatic observers were shocked by the sweeping resolution passed by
the Security Council, which allows "all necessary measures" to be used
against Libya. The United Nations Charter strictly limits Chapter 7
military actions to threats to international peace and security, which
Libya has never represented, but rules out interference in internal
affairs of member states. The pretext cited in this case was the
protection of defenseless civilians, but it is clear that the rebels
constitute an armed military force in their own right. Since no state
can be an aggressor on its own territory, the Security Council
resolution stands in flagrant violation of the UN Charter. Russia,
China, Brazil, Germany, and India abstained. The resolution contains
an arms embargo against Libya which the US is already violating by
arming the rebels through Egypt.
Among US officials demanding aggression, UN ambassador Susan Rice,
Samantha Power of the National Security Council, and Secretary of
State Clinton have shown that they are as bellicose any neocon of the
Rumsfeld-Wolfowitz school.
The Libyan Air Force has 13 airbases and some 374 combat capable
aircraft, many of them obsolete. Military observers will be watching
the performance of Qaddafi's air defenses, thought to be based largely
on older Russian SAMs. But Qaddafi also has mobile and hand-held
surface to air missiles. During a 1986 bombing raid on Tripoli aimed
at killing Qaddafi, the US lost one F-111 to Libyan fire. The Libyan
Defense Ministry has warned that Libya would retaliate against
incursions by striking at air and maritime traffic over the central
Mediterranean. In 1986, Libya fired two Scud missiles at the US Coast
Guard station on the Italian island of Lampedusa, but both missed.
Whether Qaddafi has used his immense oil revenues to procure more
capable modern anti-ship missiles of Russian design is another
question that may be answered soon. A further problem for the
aggressors is the March 19 supermoon, which will illuminate the night
sky for several days; the preferred time for air attacks is the dark
of the new moon.
The propaganda choreography of the current aggression, designed to
mask Obama's warmonger role, requires the right-wing leaders of
Britain and France, the Suez 1956 partners, to take the lead. Obama
has assumed a low profile, not attending then Paris conference, not
making a formal Oval Office address to the American people, and
letting the French attack first. Obama is visiting Brazil. This
charade is supposed to placate the ...
