6. McCain & Lieberman together again

23:33: From Washington, a statement from senior senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman. Backing President Obama’s call for Col Gaddafi to go, they say: “The United States must not be passive at this critical moment in history. From Bosnia to Rwanda, we know that the international community has in the past been too slow to react to situations like the one unfolding in Libya – with awful and unspeakable costs in human life.”

McCain says Congress backs expanding Libya ties-Jana

Fri Aug 14, 2009 11:28am EDT
* McCain praises Gaddafi for peacemaking

* Congress would "back measures" to expand ties further

By Ali Shuaib

TRIPOLI, Aug 14 (Reuters) - U.S. Republican Senator John McCain praised Libya's leader Muammar Gaddafi for his peacemaking role in Africa and said Congress would support expanding ties, Libyan state news agency Jana said on Friday.

...

"McCain and the delegation accompanying him confirmed the importance of expanding further the relations between Libya and the United States. The Congress would back the measures to be taken to achieve this aim," Jana said. It gave no details.

Since Washington ended its major sanctions on Libya, U.S. energy companies including ExxonMobil and Chevron have been active in Libya.

...

"Senator McCain and the delegation with him expressed their deep happiness to meet the leader and praised him for his wisdom and strategic vision to tackle issues of concern to the world and his efforts to sustain peace and stability in Africa," Jana said.

FRIDAY MARCH 4, 2011

Even a Weakened Libya Can Avoid Civil War
Libya, Middle East, Middle East Unrest, Africa
Ibrahim Sharqieh, Deputy Director, Brookings Doha Center
Financial Times

MARCH 02, 2011 —
Serious concerns have been raised about internal disintegration and civil war were Muammar Qaddafi to fall. Marc Ginsberg, former U.S. ambassador to Morocco, has warned of coming chaos, suggesting Libya could become an "Afghanistan in north Africa". But while these concerns are justifiable, there is little danger of a long-term civil war. The main forces of Libyan society - the tribes, Islamist groups and the army - lack the capacity for any sustained conflict. The west should therefore focus on persuading Mr. Qaddafi to leave, and not rush into unwise and counter-productive military action.

The threat of civil war has been understandably talked up by both Mr. Qaddafi, and his son Seif al-Islam. The latter's threat to fight to the "last man and last woman", and his father's rallying of loyal tribes to attack the protesters, indicates how the regime intends to behave if forced into a corner. But Mr. Qaddafi's intransigence, and willingness to inflict atrocities on his own people, should not surprise us. He has almost no international friends to host him, should he flee the country. His military background also gives a strong sense of the shame that comes from backing down on terms other than his own.

That said, were Mr. Qaddafi to flee from his power base in Tripoli, the chances of him sustaining a lengthy civil war in his name are slim. More importantly, after several decades of being undermined and marginalised by the regime, the trio of main social forces in his country lack the potential to conduct a lengthy conflict, were the to regime fall.

Islamist groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood, have led opposition to the regime in Libya for a number of decades. Yet they have suffered greatly under Mr. Qaddafi, most egregiously in the Abu Salim Prison massacre of 1996, in which 1,270 prisoners are believed to have been killed. While the Brotherhood itself remains part of the political fabric, the group has lost significant support of late, after allying itself with a youth initiative developed by Seif al-Islam Qaddafi three years ago - an alliance for which the Islamist movement is now likely to pay a price in terms of credibility.

Flash: US administration has discovered that Libya is not a democracy
More on this breaking story as it develops. The Obama administration said that the Bush administration did not know that Qadhdhafi was a tyrant when it brokered the famous honey moon back in 2003. Hillary Clinton said that when she met with Mu`tasim Qadhdhafi (head of the Libyan secret police) she was under the impression that he was a democratic crusader. More on this later.

Today the disccussion is if the Netherlands could or should be the place of the capital of ICC in The Hague.

The action of helping two evacuees / when the Malta government is still able to get with permission of the Libya people out of the country / is an act of war.

The Dutch / sorry to say / opened the door to international War.
An Inconvenient Truth , which lead to the question is Holland allowed to have ICC in The Haque.

12:50am
A new audio message from an anti-government activist in the town of Az Zawiyah describes a "very tense" situation in that city. Earlier in the day, after Friday prayers, anti-government demonstrators had held a peaceful protest march towards the outskirts of the city, the activist says, when they were ambushed by pro-Gaddafi forces, who were holding positions on the roofs of buildings.

He said that many had been killed and injured in that attack, with four burials taking place in the early afternoon.

He also says that pro-Gaddafi forces are alleged to have taken people injured in the attack from their hospital beds, and that the city is preparing for another attack during the night.

-- Security forces in Ivory Coast have fatally shot six women who were protesting the disputed president's refusal to cede power, U.S. officials said Friday.

Soldiers loyal to Laurent Gbagbo used a tank to fire on the group, which was peacefully marching in Abidjan on Thursday, according to P.J. Crowley, a State Department spokesman.

Gbagbo is clinging to power despite calls for him to concede after an electoral commission declared challenger Alassane Ouattara the winner of a November presidential election.
