Operation Oil Theft: Day 2.

In the 21 hours following the Paris meeting French, British and American forces have attacked in excess of 20 targets across western Libya. The Libyan government are claiming that 64 civilians have been killed in these attacks but Britain is denying that as propaganda. However as more then 110,000lbs of explosives have just been dropped on the civilian centers in and around Tripoli and Misrata that seems like a fair estimate.

On the topic of wild propaganda claims after being forced to admit that they shot down their own aircraft yesterday (19/3/11) the Libyan rebels are now claiming that Colonel Qaddafi has committed suicide and the entire conflict is now over. As everyone has seen a clearly not dead Colonel Qaddafi on TV most right thinking people are asking what hallucinogenic drugs the rebels are on because their grip on reality is tenuous at best.

Despite the all the claims of success the coalition of international forces is having great difficulty speaking with one voice. Britain is claiming that the United States is in charge of the operation because they want America to have the starring role in Al Qeda's next recruitment film. America is claiming that they're not in charge of the operation for exactly the same reason. France is desperate to claim that they're in charge because the unpopular Nicholas Sarkozy is facing a Presidential election soon. Meanwhile everyone in the coalition is trying to find a tactful way of declaring exactly which Arab governments are supporting the operation. That's because the Arab governments that are supporting it are the autocratic and corrupt governments that the Arab people are currently trying to overthrow.

Also the Chinese warships the Guangzhou and the Chaohu are still in the Mediterranean which is no surprise because that's the deal Britain and France made with China. In return for China's abstention at the UN vote the Chinese military would be given front row seats to America's military capacity and a big share of Libya's oil. That's why Britain and France have only been using their Mirage, Rafale and Tornado jets rather then the more technologically advanced Eurofighter.

So in light of this and other recent fiasco's I think from now on the director of the big bad CIA should be known by the call sign "Lola" because America appears to have just declared war on itself and not even George W Bush managed that.
