Monday, 21 March 2011, TRIPOLI - This past weekend an enormous variety of American and European bombers and fighter aircraft enforced the United Nations' recently declared "no-fly" zone over Libya. The curious attack apparently meant to prevent Colonel Khadafi's warplanes from killing rebels or civilians was apparently broadly interpreted by American and European military commanders to mean that they themselves should kill Libyan soldiers, civilians, and anyone else who was not a rebel.
This tour de force also included the dropping of a bomb on the Colonel's personal Tripoli compound largely demolishing what was identified as either his guards' barracks or his house. Reporters were kept sequestered so as to keep them from making the wrong interpretation of the American and Allies attacks throughout Libya. In the morning they were taken to see first-hand how the Colonel's compound building had been bombed and partially demolished.
Although there are no warships known to be in the vicinity, the United States in its continuing curious actions had a Vice-Admiral serve as spokesperson. He assured reporters that the bombing of Colonel Khadafi's house or guard barracks in no way was intended to kill the Colonel "at this time". Egyptian participants in the United Nations "no-fly" vote apparently were unhappy and at a complete loss as to explain what the American and European bombing campaign had to do with the United Nations vote. Apparently they were not familiar with the historic American "Gulf of Tonkin" resolution in Vietnam, said to be a favorite of Hillary Clinton's.
Meanwhile Colonel Khadafi on Libyan state media apparently took umbrage at the full-scale attack of all of Libya, including his house. The Colonel threatened that oil supplies to the Americans and European allies might soon be cut off if they did not find some other use for them than bombing Libya and trying to kill him.
