14 Potential Justifications For An Invasion Of Libya

Source: The American Dream

Over the past couple of days, top government officials from both the  United 
States and the EU have been openly discussing the possibility of  military 
intervention in Libya. In fact, it has seemed like there has  been a full court 
press in the mainstream media to sway public opinion  toward supporting a 
potential invasion.  We are being told that we  simply cannot stand by as Libyan 
civilians die.  We are being told that  this would be a “humanitarian” mission.  
We are being told that this  would not be like Iraq or Afghanistan.  Even now, 
the U.S. military is  moving the USS Enterprise and other warships closer to 
Libya in case they are “needed”.  Other nations are also sending warships  into 
the Mediterranean and are preparing for military action.  It really  does appear 
that authorities in the United States and Europe really are  serious about 
potentially going into Libya.  But is there really any  way that the United 
States can really justify getting involved in  another war in the Middle East?  
Will the American people ever be  convinced that an invasion of Libya by the 
U.S. military is a good idea?
Fortunately, so far it appears that the mainstream media propaganda is not 
working.  A recent Rasmussen poll found that a whopping 67 percent of Americans 
do not want the U.S. to get more involved in the unrest  going on in Arab 
countries and only 17 percent of Americans do want the  U.S. to get more 
directly involved.
But that doesn’t mean that top politicians in the U.S. and in Europe are not 
going to continue to try to change our minds.
British Prime Minister David Cameron sure sounds like he is ready to go to war….
“If Col Gaddafi uses military force against his own people, the world cannot 
stand by.”
On Monday, Hillary Clinton made it clear that the U.S. government considers 
military action to be very much “on the table”….
“Nothing is off the table so long as the Libyan Government continues to threaten 
and kill Libyans.”
It is almost as if they want us to believe that their hands are being forced.
Of course nobody in the mainstream media seems to be bringing up the  fact that 
the United States has stood idly by and watched millions and  millions of 
Africans be slaughtered in bloody civil wars and genocides  over the past couple 
of decades.
For decades the U.S. has looked upon the suffering of millions of  Africans with 
indifference but now they are trying to convince us that  it is a “moral 
imperative” that we intervene in the civil war in Libya.
It is funny how things can change when oil is at stake.  Libya is the  biggest 
producer of oil in Africa and that makes it a very important  nation to the 
global elite.
Fortunately, it appears that the American people are starting to get  sick and 
tired of sending our young men and women off to the Middle East  to fight these 
endless wars.
American blood should never be spent cheaply.  Each American life is  precious, 
and our military men and women should never be sacrificed  unless there is a 
darn good reason for it.
Well, right now the global elite are working overtime to try to create some 
“good reasons” for going into Libya.
The following are 14 potential justifications for an invasion of  Libya by the 
U.S. military that are currently being floated in the  mainstream media….
 
#1 “We Can’t Stand Aside And Watch Gaddafi Kill His Own People”
#2 “It Would Just Be A Humanitarian Mission”
#3 “Libya Is Torturing Prisoners“
#4 “The Libyan Rebels Will Not Be Able To Take Down Gaddhafi With Our Help”

#5 “U.S. Interests Are Being Threatened”
#6 “Gaddafi Is Crazy”
#7 “Gaddafi Has Weapons Of Mass Destruction“
#8 “Gaddafi Will Use Chemical Weapons If We Don’t Stop Him”

#9 “Gaddafi Has “1,000 Metric Tons Of Uranium Yellowcake“
#10 “European Energy Companies Are Deeply Invested In Libyan Oil And Gas Fields”
#11 “Millions of Dollars Worth Of Infrastructure Will Be Destroyed If We Don’t 
Intervene”
#12 “The Crisis In Libya Is Bad For The Global Economy”

#13 “Someone Has To Protect The Oil”

#14 “We Have Got To Go Into Libya To Keep Al-Qaeda From Getting A Foothold”
Al-Qaeda?
Really?
Yes, they are being trotted out once again as a reason for us to invade someone.
A recent article in Time Magazine made the following claim….
“U.S. counterterrorism officials have noted the disproportionate  number of 
Libyans turning up in the ranks of al-Qaeda both in northern  Africa and in 
Iraq.”
You can always count on Time Magazine for some good government propaganda.
Hopefully the American people will not fall for this nonsense.
But it looks like it is not just going to be the U.S. military that  is going to 
be involved.  This is already being framed as a “NATO  operation”, and we are 
being told that a direct invasion will probably  not happen immediately.
Rather, we are told that a “no fly zone” would likely be set up first  and 
special forces troops may be sent in to help “advise” the rebel  forces.
Well, the truth is that the moment that we shoot down one Libyan  plane or we 
insert one U.S. solider into the country we are at war.
In fact, the Pakistan Observer is reporting that hundreds of “defense advisers” 
from the United States, the U.K.  and France have already landed in Libya and 
are helping to train rebel  forces.
Let us hope that the Pakistan Observer report and other similar reports in the 
international media are not true.
The American people are sick and tired of using the U.S. military as  the police 
of the world.  The Libyan civil war belongs to the Libyan  people and it should 
stay that way.
No mater how it is justified, if the U.S. military does go into Libya  the 
Libyan people and most of the rest of the world are going to deeply  resent it.
So what do you think?  Do you believe that it would be a good idea or  a bad 
idea for the U.S. to get involved in the civil war in Libya?   Please feel free
