7:14 am
with nato actually going to war against the people of libya obviously the dictatorship which prevails there is no reason to declare war on the people often libya by nato i think the usa britain france and the western powers are hiding behind nato so that no one can point a finger but the figures of the casualties caused by nato bombing is really mounting two weeks ago and the human rights council in geneva the commission which was asked to investigate the situation in libya came with a report saying that they have discussed with nato but nato has confirmed to go all out that they have not had any targeting civilians i think nato is continuing its war against the libyan people albeit that they got rid of the big data ship but we seem to be having this aimed at. societies they have done in iraq and i think

7:16 am
don't trust nato to protect them some former u.s. military officers are now disillusioned with the work you tell it colonel karen could say thinks the true aim of the invasion was to create a platform for keeping an eye on or even invading other targets. in many ways american people have not been told what we came to afghanistan to do and that mission is to build bases which we have done and to man those bases and to operate militarily from those bases against other countries in the region that mission has actually been somewhat successful and quite frankly don't think we ever intend to hand it back to any of the afghan people we put karzai in charge in december of two thousand and one as they suppose again worker and of course never never liked it back time a friend of a patsy of the american government and he remains there to this day you know we had
