Why is NATO getting desperate in Libya?
But almost in no time at all it became obvious that there was more than just Arab awakening in Libya. United States and her allies quickly got involved by arming the rebels and commencing the aerial bombardment of so-called Gaddafi strongholds. Now months into NATO’s aggression, there is no sign of victory for them or the rebels on one hand, and none for Muammar Gaddafi on the other. While the unfortunate toll in human lives continues daily, there is also no consideration of a ceasefire which could lead to negotiations, as is to be expected in the case of such a stalemate. Rather the chant from the Western front is only ‘Gaddafi must go’. Needless to say he doesn’t heed it. In the last few days, NATO’s air strikes have grown more fierce, in a move that amounts to a show of desperation. The unspoken aim is to kill Gaddafi since he has refused to leave. Is there more to US and her allies’ involvement in Libya than just helping the rebels chase away a dictator? John Perkins, international finance expert and author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, believes that there is. Read his revealing views on why the US is more than desperate in Libya.
