MO Midden-Oosten
Bespreek hier de actuele situatie omtrent het Midden-Oosten.
We gaan de komende dagen dus zien wie er oprecht loyaal is aan de fundamentele vrijheden van mensen, en ook wie nietquote:
Verklaard trouwens wel de verwondingen van de boer en zijn zonen. het droppen van twee bommen die de Harriets(?) afgooide om de groep mensen af te weren/schrikken.quote:Op woensdag 23 maart 2011 21:05 schreef yavanna het volgende:

Het Pentagon verklaarde gister toch dat dat 100% niet gebeurd was..? Is daar nog nieuws over?quote:

quote:6.48pm: From the naval air base of Sigonella in Italy, a key stating post for the air strikes on Libya, Tom Kington has some more detail shedding light on the injuring of a number of villagers close to where a US fighter jet crased on Monday night:
Tom Kington
American fighter aircraft fired their cannons to protect a downed US pilot in Libya on Tuesday, close to where local residents were reportedly injured by gunfire, a US military source has revealed.
The source's statement on Wednesday could explain how at least eight Libyans near the scene were wounded by gunfire. The US military denied early reports that two helicopters arriving to collect the pilot in the early hours of Tuesday fired on locals.
The source said Harrier jump jets that had arrived at the scene before the helicopters "strafed" the ground as they flew low over a group of vehicles indicated as a potential threat to the pilot. A second source told the Guardian the vehicles were targeted about three miles from the stranded pilot, about 30 minutes before the helicopters arrived.
The pilot and a crew member had parachuted from their F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft after it suffered a mechanical failure during a raid near Benghazi, parachuting to separate locations. Two Osprey tiltrotor aircraft were dispatched from the USS Kearsarge off the Libyan coast to pick up the pilot, located thanks to a GPS signal, the source said.
The second crew member could not be traced by rescuers because his GPS was not transmitting, he said. He was met by locals who took him and gave him shelter. He is now reportedly at Aviano air base in northern Italy.

De ontkenning was, dacht ik, enkel gericht op 'schieten'. Van die bommen hoor ik nu voor het eerst, komt wel meer overeen met de verwondingen. Niet dat ik die exact zag, maar die man zat helemaal onder als van 'scherven' oid..quote:

Volgens dit bericht zou het dan wel schieten zijn. Nogal een verschil, schieten of 2 500lb bommen.quote:

Als de coalitie uit is op de olievoorraden, hadden die B2's hun lading wel boven Benghazi geloosd de afgelopen dagen. Dan hadden we vandaag al een deal voor goedkope olie met Big G.quote:

En die piloot is daar toch ook, die had dus ook gewond kunnen raken. Het is nog een vaag verhaal.

Misschien is het allebei gebeurd. Die bommen zal ABC toch ook niet verzinnen, zou je denken. En die dorpelingen zullen ook wel verschil weten tussen een bom of een kogel.quote:

British Royal Air Force (RAF) planes took off from Brize Norton air base in the UK on Tuesday to refuel Tornados operating over Libya to enforce the no-fly zone. Many of the planes are refuelling over Cyprus, which hosts two British bases, but which has said it does not want any involvement in military operations over Libya. Sqn Ldr Tim Kent, pilot from one of the refuelling planes explains the procedure.

quote:The West is just in it for oil is perhaps the most fequent and nonsensical claim, churned out by those who ignore the fact that the most prominent states in the coalition import relatively little of their oil from Libya, with the overall supply of Libyan crude making up just 2% of the worlds total. Of course contracts in Libya are still worth billions of dollars to many Western companies and certain states including Italy are more reliant on these than others, but this is hardly a motive for intervention after all, he was already providing the oil, working with companies such as BP and showed no signs of cutting it off. If anything, Libyan oil would have been an incentive to keep Gaddafi in place, just as tacit or active support has been given to other despots in return for their energy supplies.

An attendee at a White House briefing explaining why the US backed military action as pro-Gaddafi forces moved in on Benghazi, quotes a senior Middle East adviser as saying: "We were looking at Srebrenica on steroids - the real or imminent possibility that up to 100,000 people could be massacred, and everyone would blame us for it."
