Report: Ex-minister says Gadhafi ordered Lockerbie
2011-02-23
Aipee so no direct quote:

The former Libyian justice minister who resigned days ago claims to have proof Gaddafi personally ordered the Lockerbie attack.

Gaddafi was afraid Megrabi would rat him out which is why he insisted on his release.

My commentary:
No surprise here, a grain of salt wrt Megrabi though.
Given Western government's fecklessness in recent years (including the Bush administration after about 2003), Gaddafi could have openly admitted to planting the bomb with his own hands. Western leaders would have traveled to Libya, fallen on their knees and begged Gaddafi to refrain from further attacks.

Megrabi got out because Gaddafi used a mixture of bribery and intimidation (British diplomats were threatened). Gaddafi wanted to publicly humiliate the West because he had been tricked into giving up his nuclear program.

#3  Al-ARABIYA > Related Artic also describes a Libyuhn Offical claiming that AL-QAEDA IS SETTING UP AN "ISLAMIC EMIRATE" IN THE DERNA
CITY + REGION.

* Also from AL-ARABIYA > MIDEAST UNREST WILL REACH US [North America], EUROPE: IRAN PRESIDENT.

Ahmadinejad.

ARTIC = MOUD sasy that BIG DEVELOPMENTS are taking place in the World, + that SUCH RELAT CHANGES WILL "ENGULF THE WHOLE WORLD FROM ASIA TO AFRICA, + FROM EUROPE + NORTH AMERICA".

I've said it times before:

* 9-11 + GWOT = Among other, is WAR FOR OWG-NWO/GLOBAL GOVT. = WAR FOR CONTROL OF THE WORLD.

Besides also PRO-US-VS-ANTI-US OWG-NWO including COMMIE-SOC WORLD ORDER [CWO-SWO].

All things equal, the greatest Battlefield in this Man's GWOT is within the Halls of the US GOVT + CONGRESS, NOT on ARAB-MUSLIM LANDS.

* ISLAMIST JIHAD + INSURGENCIES = Ultimately is "GLOBAL" IN SCOPE, i.e. a GLOBAL ISLAMIC/MUSLIM CONQUEST.

* The US is fighting an Enemy that historically prefers to wage [Limited Predatory = "People's Wars"]WARS OF DECADES + GENERATIONS, NOT "QUICKIE" WARS LIKE WW1, WW2, OR EVEN VIETNAM. The US-ALLIES are not just fighting OSAMA + AFFILIATED, etal. BUT ALSO ALL OF HIS + THEIR HEIRS + SUCCESSORS IN TIME.

POTUS Dubya's so-called "Long War".

* THE US MAY BE SEEMINGLY "WINNING" THE GWOT, BUT RADICAL ISLAM HAS NOT "LOST" THE GWOT EITHER - IT NOT ONLY HASN'T "LOST", BUT IS GLOBALLY EXPANDING ITS JIHAD + ESPEC "GOING NUKULAAR".

#2  ...and this diplomat, and a whole lot of western diplomats, up to and including the current US administration and the previous British administration, were OK with letting Lockerbie slide and/or obfuscating about Qadaffy killing westerners until he went and killed a bunch of Arabs too, where it couldn't be blamed on US troops the way Al Qaeda killing Iraqi civilians has been for the past ten damn years.

It's all just weak horse strong horse shit.

argh.

#1  Interesting article, . But what trick? Nobody knew Libya had a nuclear program until Colonel Gaddari called President Bush about giving it up. The pretty colonel didn't want to be the next Arab dictator pulled out of a spider hole in his his underthings like Saddam Hussein. And goodness knows Libya got an awful lot of goodwill in exchange, which he used to bully and humiliate the West.
