Libyan rebels are fighting against newly Western recognized Libyan regime:


(Reuters) - Libyan interim government forces licked their wounds on Saturday after a failed assault on the town of Bani Walid, and a spokesman for Muammar Gaddafi accused NATO of killing 354 people in overnight air strikes on the city of Sirte.

Moussa Ibrahim, the deposed leader's spokesman, contacted Reuters by satellite telephone to say Gaddafi was still in Libya, leading the "resistance" against his foes.

He said NATO air strikes on Sirte, Gaddafi's birthplace, had hit a residential building and a hotel, killing 354 people.

If they represent popular sentiment, terming pro Gaddafi people as "rebels" seems a bit odd on second thought.

Just saw this video of huge pro Gadaffi rally:

Has NATO accidentally overthrown a popular government and has installed Al Qaeda linked interim regime for better oil deals? Could this create future blowbacks?

Rebels?
or are they rebelling against the rebels?

Really can't tell the players without a program.

I wish more journalists were in Libya verifying the body counts so that they could stop regurgitating what the pro-Qaddafi people say on the one hand, and what NATO/NTC says on the other.

 

[Dark_Horse_Rider]

the news here in Asia showed NTC rebels shelling the hell out of some city yesterday

looked pretty indiscriminate... and they were still driven back

there is a kind of " regime genocide " taking place

a terrible crime

This new rebellions in the Arab world is just "them" creating regimes highly hostile to Israel so that the Zionist-><-Arab Hegelian-dialectic becomes worst and more violent.

Having said that, i learned to become suspicious of this "accidents". The "accident" excuse is very very useful when it comes to the elimination of troublesome characters/group of people. I get the impression that, sometimes, NATO likes to play incompetent when it suits them...

A Damn travesty of what the CIA, CFR, Mi6, US/UK/France.... have done in raping and killing everything in Libya. Amazing how funds from the US Department of Homeland Security are being used in Operations; Grab the Sweet Crude Oil, Nat Gas, Mediterranean Libyan Seaports, and largest water tables. Oh let's not forget the created Puppet NTC government and their BS Central Bank before commencing the attacks on Libya.
