F. William Engdahl: Framing Libya and Reframing War

The lies used to justify the NATO war against Libya stink to high heaven, having surpassed those created to justify the invasion of Iraq. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch both had honest observers on the ground for months, following the rebellion in eastern Libya, and both have repudiated the every major charge used to justify the NATO war on Libya. According to the Amnesty observer, who is fluent in Arabic, there is not one confirmed instance of rape by the pro-Gadaffi fighters, and not even a doctor who knew of one. All the Viagra mass rape stories are pure fabrications. Amnesty could not verify a single "African mercenary" fighting for Gaddafi, and the highly charged international satellite television accounts of African mercenaries raping women that were used to panic much of the eastern Libyan population into fleeing their homes were pure fabrications. There were no confirmed accounts of helicopter gunships attacking civilians, and no jet fighters bombing people, except those from the evil NATO forces, who were led by Obama to destroy Libya and steal their oil as soon as possible, as was the case after the destruction of the Iraqi armed forces. After three months on the ground in rebel-controlled territory, the Amnesty investigator could only confirm 110 deaths in Benghazi, which included Gadaffi supporters. Only 110 dead in Benghazi? Wait a minute, we were told thousands had died there, ten thousand even. No, only 110 lost their lives, including pro-government people. No rapes, no African mercenaries, no helicopter gunships or bombers, only 110 deaths due to the aggressive bombings by the continuing NATO bombardments, whose every claim is based on a lie.
