Why NATO? Cold War military machine plows on in Libya

In Libya, more NATO air strikes have reportedly struck the capital Tripoli - following a defiant broadcast from Colonel Gaddafi. Meeting in Washington, Barack Obama and NATO head Anders Fogh Rasmussen agreed to continue bombing, as long as the Libyan leader puts up a fight. But as RT's Lauren Lyster reports, the motivation of the U.S.-led Alliance is under scrutiny

NATO / North Atlantic Terrorist Organization is a criminal outfit that takes its marching orders from greed-driven Western imperialists, 'bombing for peace', slaughtering women & children as they go, and overthrowing foreign leaders they don't like.

The US has gone completely mad. I hope Ron Paul can get elected, if not I fear for this country, and I would pretty much expect WW3.

Why NATO? Cold War military machine plows on in Libya -

Very simple answer Cause  there is no more CCCP or similar block to counter THIEVES. I hope Russia and China SCO will grow to be a military block.

Great Croatian sociologist said: after the fall of Berlin wall we have new reality now conquest of space for sources and resources. That is exactly what is happening. First Eastern Europe was looted than middle east now Africa.

this is AGAIN an another senseless war...and again 'cause of the bastiality of some humans liking or even loving to bomb and kill other humans like it is somewhat of a game..

I got so sick from america I can't put it into words...

Fucking Elitists, when will we ever have a military that is focused on defending civilians of any country?

Why NATO? Because the UN will just fuck things up even more. Look at the help they provided to the rest of Africa.

sarkozy is barely the puppet of a puppet, this fuck would do anything is a US-ian told him to

[waste0fspais]

wasnt the operation completely leagal in accordance to international law and sanctioned by the UN and supported by the arab league? Wasnt Gaddafi a sponsor of terrorism and intervened in other countries? why silly me, silly me apparently NATO just felt bored and found an innocent brown country to pick on to take teh oil.
