is clear who could comment his grace because at this point even these times during the council in ghazi it's really a dark horse of the stage because when archie was there and because the repriced allow it and neither are other journalists allowed to film them the only few names that we do know are people who made a career for themselves serving to get off a regime for and they have to assume at least partial responsibility for the crimes that they are now trying to put on gadhafi in all these dictatorial regimes there is no any sort of organized opposition so almost everybody is like a sort of this event or someone who defected from the ranks of the supporters of the leader will had some problem with him back in for instance got rid of him for some reason on another so it's typical for. this type of bury the tauriel seems very suppressive not the whole array thing any sort of organized the position with the exception of some some groups and they asked for the exception though because like mr groups with the exception of this form the royal constitutional unions that was loyal to the ol

they're at a crossroads wondering which way to drive their country next some point are to see bin ghazi. political analyst michel chossudovsky believes there is something that could reconcile khadafi supporters with his opponents and unite against foreign intervention but majority of the population including the potence. he do not want foreign intervention because then it's an iraqi scenario and. i mean. ironically what happened is that when britain sent the so-called diplomatic mission which in fact was made up of it in my six secret agent accompanied by escorted by c.s. forces they were arrested not by the duffys forces but by the by opposition forces and and not position said no we should be here this is interference of good friends of a sovereign country and the geopolitical implications of bar reaching it's essentially what is what washington is aiming at is to establish a sphere of influence in north africa. establish control over these oil reserves which constitute billions and billions of dollars of proceeds for the oil companies that public opinion has been misinformed dramatic

hour at sea when ghazi. and michael hughes a journalist for the huffington post says those who are pushing for get out his regime to be destroyed aren't considering what the situation will be in libya without him. russia has it it's you know. we need to stay out of business sense of what bothered me was the western agenda it's always been translated. and for some reason we want to. we need to use him as a pariah kind of rallies but i really western rail because he's the antithesis of what america what america is about. his vision of it is great for the right wing you know people like mccain and mcconnell we get all excited about going to another country so and they think toppling him is the key to taking control you know they have no idea what is going to look like that there should be a coast to war civil war if you will it could be the tribal tribal factions going at it and then you have the you know the atlantic element ironically if we are being eroded we're going to be intervening on the side of a lot o

a recent survey of being a british intelligence services our group here in ghazi a group that was briefly are rask. back home and local leaders say that they do not want any foreign intervention in fact they say if indeed it happens it will play you directly into the hands of their very adamant that these surprising for their rights. are not remains to be seen. as a genuine after all the. people that majority. do not want foreign intervention because that is in iraq what washington does it is through establish control over all reserves which constitute billions and billions of dollars of crude oil companies some of the leaders told us today that they're now. all their resources and all of a half. of the town of third. or not the opposition forces will be. non-base contra still remains to be seen that army is there a lot of this in korea and they help our presence because they're very poorly trained at the same time and the only thing that i would say is all there is is that. they're very creative in trying to find new means of fighting and there's a great great what i mean our next story.
