On 15th April 2011 Obama, Sarkozy and Cameron sent a letter to three leading newspapers regarding the ongoing operation in Libya. Below is the letter with what they really meant in Bold under each paragraph.
Together with our Nato allies and coalition partners, the United States, France and Britain have been united at the UN Security Council, as well as the following Paris Conference, in building a broad-based coalition to respond to the crisis in Libya. We are equally united on what needs to happen to end it.
[The neo-colonial powers France, Britain and the United States (FBU) have manufactured a false narrative of global unification behind the Libya mission. FBU and their lackeys like Qatar remained determined to ensure their interests are met in Libya.]
Even as we continue military operations today to protect civilians in Libya, we are determined to look to the future. We are convinced that better times lie ahead for the people of Libya, and a pathway can be forged to achieve just that.
[Even as we bomb the very people we are meant to be helping, we have not forgotten what we came here for. The future of Libya must be in favour of us achieving our interests. We are convinced that better times lie ahead for our nations because after Gaddafi is gone we will exploit the people of Libya, but don’t tell anyone.]
We must never forget the reasons why the international community was obliged to act in the first place. As Libya descended into chaos with Colonel Gaddafi attacking his own people, the Arab League called for action. The Libyan opposition called for help. And the people of Libya looked to the world in their hour of need.
[We haven’t forgotten why we acted, with Gaddafi under pressure to leave we couldn’t allow a power vacuum to exist. So we allowed Gaddafi to kill his own people with the weapons we sold him, and then pretended to have a heart. But we only acted when the rebels threatened to cut oil to the West, the salves in the Arab League just go along with that we say.]
In an historic resolution, the United Nations Security Council authorised all necessary measures to protect the people of Libya from the attacks upon them. By responding immediately, our countries halted the advance of Gaddafi’s forces. The bloodbath that he had promised to inflict on the citizens of the besieged city of Benghazi has been prevented.
[In a typically neo-colonial resolution (remember the first Iraq War), the UN allowed us to go and do whatever we wanted in Libya. ]
Tens of thousands of lives have been protected. But the people of Libya are suffering terrible horrors at Gaddafi’s hands each and every day. His rockets and his shells rained down on defenceless civilians in Ajdabiya. The city of Misrata is enduring a medieval siege as Gaddafi tries to strangle its population into submission. The evidence of disappearances and abuses grows daily.
[Despite us trying to show the world we don’t want Gaddafi out of power, it seems we are going to have to get rid of the guy. So now we must use words such as ‘medieval’ to convince the world we need a new resolution to change the regime in Libya, don’t mention Iraq maybe the world has forgotten]
Our duty and our mandate under UN Security Council Resolution 1973 is to protect civilians, and we are doing that. It is not to remove Gaddafi by force. But it is impossible to imagine a future for Libya with Gaddafi in power. The International Criminal Court is rightly investigating the crimes committed against civilians and the grievous violations of international law. It is unthinkable that someone who has tried to massacre his own people can play a part in their future government. The brave citizens of those towns that have held out against forces that have been mercilessly targeting them would face a fearful vengeance if the world accepted such an arrangement. It would be an unconscionable betrayal.
[Can we please get rid of Gaddafi and get our man in soon? We have a country to occupy]
Furthermore, it would condemn Libya to being not only a pariah state, but a failed state too. Gaddafi has promised to carry out terrorist attacks against civilian ships and airliners. And because he has lost the consent of his people any deal that leaves him in power would lead to further chaos and lawlessness. We know from bitter experience what that would mean. Neither Europe, the region nor the world can afford a new safe haven for extremists.
[We created a failed state in Iraq but we got all their oil and now control the country'spolitics too. Can we do the same in Libya? If we use the word extremist and safe haven it sounds so convincing doesn’t it?, don’t mention Afghanistan and WMD]
There is a pathway to peace that promises new hope for the people of Libya: a future without Gaddafi that preserves Libya’s integrity and sovereignty and restores her economy and the prosperity and security of her people. This needs to begin with a genuine end to violence, marked by deeds, not words. The regime has to pull back from the cities it is besieging, including Ajdabiya, Misrata and Zintan, and its forces return to their barracks.
[Now that we have let Gaddafi know we are going to remove him, we will pretend we are also peace makers asking for a return to barracks. We know full well our words will only inflame Gaddafi]
However, so long as Gaddafi is in power, Nato and its coalition partners must maintain their operations so that civilians remain protected and the pressure on the regime builds. Then a genuine transition from dictatorship to an inclusive constitutional process can really begin, led by a new generation of leaders. For that transition to succeed, Colonel Gaddafi must go, and go for good. At that point, the United Nations and its members should help the Libyan people as they rebuild where Gaddafi has destroyed – to repair homes and hospitals, to restore basic utilities, and to assist Libyans as they develop the institutions to underpin a prosperous and open society.
[Gaddafi must go, until then we will keep bombing Libya. Then we will send in our troops under UN or Afircan Union colours to occupy Libya. We can then choose a ruler for you (someone who loves us more than Gaddafi), we will also allow our companies to take the contracts to re-build Libya. Of course we can’t do that for free, lets call it a fair swap for your Oil, don’t mention Iraq!]
This vision for the future of Libya has the support of a broad coalition of countries, including many from the Arab world. These countries came together in London on March 29 and founded a contact group that met this week in Doha to support a solution to the crisis that respects the will of the Libyan people.
[We held a sham conference, we will hold more to pretend that we are not leading the colonial occupation]
Today Nato and its coalition partners are acting in the name of the United Nations with an unprecedented international legal mandate. But it will be the people of Libya, not the UN, who choose their new constitution, elect their new leaders and write the next chapter in their history.
[Today we are acting to ensure our national interests are met in Libya for a long time to come. The people of Libya will forever be under our influence , because any ruler they choose will be our slave. This is how these things work. ]
Britain, France and the United States will not rest until the United Nations Security Council resolutions have been implemented and the Libyan people can choose their own future.
[FBU, will not rest until we get what we want from Libya which is political control of Libya, a strategic location from which to monitor the Middle East and the financial benefits that will come from the Oil]
