“NATO countries…face increasing pressure to end the bombing campaign and seem desperate to find a quick exit”

NOVANEWS

I am amused by how smoothly the NYT correspondent in Libya refers to colonial strategies for ending the war: “NATO countries…face increasing pressure to end the bombing campaign and seem desperate to find a quick exit, either by arming the rebels or by killing Colonel Qaddafi with airstrikes.” In other words, assassination after belligerent attacks. Are we going to start seeing mea culpas from all the pro-Palestinian writers who defended the assault in defense of the Libyan “revolutionaries”? Do these people realize that they are the Thomas Friedman, Michael Ignatieff, David Rieff, and Samantha Power of theannus obamanis 2011? You found a war where imperial power could bomb Arabs and you could clap. Book reviewing for The New Republic will shortly follow. Clean the blood off your hands and start counting the money, please.
