Queen Hillary of Libya

The queen's speech
The new Libyan government kingmaker is actually a queen: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Any doubts that the US State Department is now frantically setting up a new government peppered with English-speaking collaborators have been dismissed after the London conference on Libya.

The "official" Libyan opposition used to tautologically call itself "Interim Transitional National Council". Now it's Interim National Council (INC). Anyone running for cover to the sound of the acronym INC is excused; it does bring appalling memories of the Washington-propped Iraqi National Congress and its fabled "weapons of mass destruction" in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

And what about the INC's new military commander, Khalifa Hifter - a former Libyan army colonel who spent nearly 20 years in Vienna, Virginia, not far from the Central Intelligence Agency in Langley? Progressives will love to learn that the romantic "rebels" are now led by a CIA asset.

At the London conference, the INC launched in style its slick political manifesto - "A vision of democratic Libya" - which makes all the right noises; freedom of expression, presidential and parliamentary elections, and crucially, the promise of "a state that draws strength from our strong religious beliefs in peace, truth, justice and equality".

2. The first time I read this was on a rightwing website.

Sorry, but it's true.

Is this the kind of rank garbage we are now flaunting at DU?

3. Obviously and I have been chatised repeatedly

for voicing my belief that this kind of thing should not belong here.

9. Sorry, but I don't come to DU to argue against rightwing talking points.

Especially really stupid ones.

4. Interim National Identity Transitioners might be what Shrub would've come with.

INIT :rofl:

10. My guess is that this whole rebellion thing has been sold by the CIA

as viable. That's why the state dept has been ahead of it & confident
that it would all happen as planned. It looks like it's another massive CIA fuck up.

11. Ahhh the Asia Times

I wouldn't allow my dog to take a shit on this if it actually existed as a paper. Drivel from this site should be banned from sight.

It makes the American Spectator look intelligent.
