THE DEVIL Gaddafi and Water
March 6 The Corriere della Sera this morning sporting a Gaddafi in two versions: one with the cartoon graphics to Giannelli, always incisive, and Usually the headline in bold these days in the middle page. Giannelli presents a half-length portrait of Saddam in military regalia with hat and his chest, left side, covered by nine medals "original" nine skulls, complete with eye sockets black on white. The mouth of Colonel capped teeth show-fang, et cetera. Above lies the big title ( Gaddafi advances tanks ) with its "pageboy" gun Zawiya . "There are dozens of dead insurgents to Sirte (eye). violent attack on the city of insurgents. But losing ground to the east (bolt). The services, from 2 pg to 6 pg. What prevails in the media of these services is the uncertainty of the news the ground of fighting between rebels and loyalists. But one thing is clear, the conflict has worsened. The outcome, however, the shots of earth and sky, is problematic swinging, here turned prevails more or less compact, beyond the regime, yet well protected by loyalists. One indulges, too, the type of weapons used, and a full article from the title emphasizes the kind of jargon that Hillux Toyota pick-up, often used in desert warfare: The strategy of Raissa and pick sign-up war in the desert . Massimo Gaggi deals with the so-called "parallel war intellectuals" who, as Obviously, they are divided between proponents and opponents, but in the West, with massive prevalence of sympathizers with the rebellion or revolution that you prefer to call it. Instead, the philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy studied Six possible moves to help the Libyans . The "philosophical" occupies the entire fourth to page, decorated with mini-jig-securities securities and various gadgets, including two large color photos. The jew philosopher, champion of all the libertarian movement (except that of the Palestinians who dare to disturb the untouchable Israel) tells us how it was received with gratitude by the Provisional Revolutionary Council, to make him "the honor" of "speak". At his crucial question, whether a military intervention by the international community land to their aid, the rebels agree to meet is not the case, while "everyone agrees on a set of simple requests, clear the scale of large democracies. " The "6-point proposal" sounds this hope: 1. "No-fly zone" to prevent Gaddafi 'to bomb civilians and oil terminals. " 2. "Military Raid scale" (like "Sirte and Sebha") and "the bunker to Gaddafi Tripoli. " 3. "Lock the transmission system for sending in the military machine crisis." 4. "Actions against those countries [in Africa] that allow the traffic of mercenaries." 5. Humanitarian Aid [...] for the city under siege. " 6. "Recognized as authorities in Libya on the National Council of transition." As the program is not bad: you have to see if the convictions on the offensive capabilities of the rais honored the reality or the illusions of dreams "democratic." And do not accuse us of self-pessimism include another article (Lorenzo Envoy Cremonesi): Benghazi. Study a parliament with representatives of about ninety tribes. " Anarchy is just around the corner . The first paragraph of this problematic winds eloquently: "You can say certain defeat Gaddafi with their own, but in the meantime are appealing to international aviation security. Ensure that they meet in Tripoli 'within days' to celebrate the victory, but meanwhile we are determined to organize an interim government in the capital of the eastern provinces. Do not miss a chance to reinvigorate their belief in a modern democratic state and yet are forced to deal with the ancient tribal traditions, in which the same Gaddafi is deeply rooted. "
March 7 . The Corsera today bear weight on the two texts of the Libyan crisis, an interview with Colonel Qaddafi, Laurent Valdiguié and an editorial by Angelo Panebianco, two divergent points of view, of course, but so also complementary. Title of the interview: Gaddafi: without me Europe is invaded . In the eye: "Rich? I do not have a dinar. " Title of the editorial: "Italy and the future of Libya" Three scenarios for a crisis .
Gaddafi interview shows off all of her histrionic ability-dialectical, stirring, without naming them, their beliefs (or illusions ideological) and giving the impression of playing with his interviewer. When Rais says he has a dinar not want to deny his wealth, only the "transfer" the People. An "only" egregious? It is understandable, but the suggestion inherent in the "egregious" is the core ideology, that is this conviction I am the People . Or, equally, the people will recognize me, I feel as the synthesis of its plurality of thumb. The property, money, the mineral wealth with which I manage, and through, pe-troliferi my technical and managerial employees belong to the People. And 'the spirit of Jamairiya . My family, my children and spend money by spreading vicious nabobs? The Western media exaggerates for slander, but even that amount of hexose that can "escape" to my family is spent to serve the people, the entertainment of my children is the condition for a successful outcome of their foreign contacts, real engine of their journeys and responsible use of luxury. Gian Antonio Stella investigations on ostentatious millionaires of my family overseas? I just clarified exaggerations malicious, hostile to injury. These, or about the thoughts unspoken and only "alluded" it seems reasonable to attribute to the Rais. In short, we are a universal phenomenon that history has known for millennia: the charismatic leader who smells of sacred intangible.
The Corsera today, March 10 says one (alleged) move of the Libyan Colonel, that while his " emissaries deal with Europe simultaneously bombed the oil deposits. " Perhaps the move deserves rather as "a joke". As is clear from this statement: "the envoys of Saddam moved aboard a private jet fueling rumors of a leak Gaddafi" (sic ). "Cut the head of the rebels": a gesture for granted. The latter sommarietto swollen tummy with terrible news: "The Supreme Defence Council meeting at the Quirinale. Clang of weapons in sight? Do not worry, this sounds fair decision helpless fanfare: "Italy is ready to implement the NATO and UN decisions. " A news "minor" shows this sliver of evidence on homo necans , always ready to use their claws bevelled and inflamed by religious fanaticism, "the massacre of Copts in Egypt." Ad Maiora, the glory of the Faith. Another article applies the "law of retaliation" to Gaddafi, it would be "forced to ask for help from 'Arab brothers' too long humiliated, betrayed, insulted" (Antonio Ferrari, The "Arab brothers" from silence and old grudges . And we are the nth exchange of vague rumors with the truth established.
March 11 . Corsera today: Gaddafi paralyze a scream? That's the cry: Sarkozy presses the EU: to bomb Gaddafi . The President of douce france offers the bitter explosive for African sinister devil: bombs away. But other members did not eat this roast wild. He calls for "targeted raids on the country," which "could also affect Gaddafi in his bunker."
March 12 . The newspapers today, of course, dedicated the first information to the horror of the enormous tsunami that destroyed half Japan's many pages of Corsera are filled with disastrous effects on those services and stragista, including failures at the nuclear radiation that are spreading into the ether. But the tragedy still occupies Libyan various pages, for the correct tier of mass media attention. And it remains the single-subject arguments of these notes, we are to draw from the burning of the News context. News that, unfortunately, our predictions about comfort Gaddafi tough: in short, aviation and government troops have freed several areas more or less important and more or less forced to escape the militias hasty "democratic" areas "liberated". A few steps on pages 12-14 of the services will be sufficient to give the pulse of the situation. The first crowned headlines threatening , documents the continuing inertia talkative bodies supranational and virtuous leaders of the West and democratic, and zealous brother, in verbis , of the people in distress, risking life, "freedom van looking for. " Title: Europe insists: "Kicking Gaddafi" . A ' insistence that smacks of involuntary joke, no less than the gheddafiane found (but these well-voluntary). In fact: Germany "Remains skeptical" about the raid. Italy repeats his willingness to follow the European allies, but does not push. Thunder, by Washington, U.S. President Barak Obama, but pathetically far from the facts: "The world has an obligation to ensure that Libya will not recur in the massacres in Rwanda and Bosnia. We are slowly tightening the noose around the Colonel, no option is excluded. " What a beautiful tone of strong words! But a noose minutes has never choked anyone. When is the action? Maybe waiting for a repeat, even in abridged edition, these massacres so proudly (and ethically) condemned? Another leader of great weight (theoretical?), José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, Brussels cries: "The problem has a name: Muammar Gaddafi. And Gaddafi has to go. " Well said, Mr. President, but these moonlight that removal shrank in wishful thinking. Third item clamante (in the desert?), Herman Van Rompuy, "EU term President," Gaddafi give up the power without delay. " But do not delay as that of a raise soon, if your intentions were pious one and the prolonged delay factual and talkative waste of breath talking? Adds the president, more and more terrible in flatus vocis : "We are ready to consider all options to protect the civilian population." Again well said, especially if accurate, "provided they have a legal basis." What is to be the busillus tougher in the way of facts, views the concerns and Germany announced the veto by China and Russia choices military UN Security Council. Not only that but if you need (always in the words of Van Rompuy) even a "demonstrable need" the skein s'imbroglia again: at what level of slaughter is to be found that famous need ? Finally, it should also "support the people of the region." The latter clause is to press the seal of insignificance leafy guardians emeritus of chatter about the destiny of the world. Meanwhile, Gaddafi comes regaining various areas already in the hands of the revolutionaries. The only significant gesture, but still laughable, it is in these words-quoted article summary: "Europe denies any legitimacy to Gaddafi and believes instead, 'a credible political party' the Transitional National Council of Benghazi. We stopped at this point, the declaration would have even the slightest sense, albeit theoretical, but the period is extended in this queue that halves the political weight, "but does not recognize it as a government." And here we are at the "derisory".
March 14. Days pass and the situation of the insurgents is getting worse here is the titles of Corsera today's all too telling: Gaddafi of Libya takes over the city . Advanced Gaddafi in Benghazi siege (title) . The troops at Tobruk government aims to isolate the city symbol of rebellion. Clashes in Brega. (eye) Insurgents en route aboard pickup trucks. The Government of Cyrenaica, "We need help," A news out of the text of the chief of police in Benghazi adds a sinister flash Titles: "Gaddafi has 120 hunting foreign pilots ready to bomb civilians. " We transcribe the first revelations of the resigned and melancholy Lorenzo Cremonesi of service: "Hour after hour, mile after mile, that until two days ago, the Provisional Government of Benghazi called 'strategic retreat' is revealed for what it is: a tragic defeat, with potentially dramatic consequences for the opponents have dared raise their head. Yesterday just after midday came the news of the fall of the oil hub of Brega. Another of the city regained by men loyal to Gaddafi. " There is no need to report on the rest of the article to conclude that the initial optimism of the usual charge of Democrats' West spotless missed yet another opportunity to demonstrate an acceptable level of operational solidarity with the people in revolt against feudal despotism more or less. How to recognize, tacitly, other texts of the paper, adjusting the contrast between the euro-Atlantic allies. As in that title: No-fly zone, the Paris press. But it may be unnecessary. Even in the U.S. is growing the party, "conservative" , bogged in the "need to agree in advance the action with the main capitals of the world." Necessity, as it were, half the green light given Saturday by the Arab League "
March 15 . Gaddafi progress in the recovery of the lost positions bloody (smaller cities and so on), the "Concert of Democracies" continues to spray streams of derisive holy water report on devil reconquest that you can enjoy those indifferent to the cost of their blood (or, more likely, enjoying it). We close this "bet" with a last taste of securities. The G8 refers to the no-fly zone to the United Nations (headline, page length). Germans and Russians opposed the proposal of France and England. The Italian foreign minister: "Engaging the Arab League" (eye) Frattini: "On Libya, different positions. Now it's up to the Security Council " (bolt). Frattini, more usually, with its administrative intervention superfluous. And when one of his ventures so little thought, echoes other voices. But the highlight of originality is ridiculous from a sample of Catholic faith and unattainable Vatican servility, to whom the Gospel suggests strange primates political realism completely indifferent to the slaughter of infidels those without Christ. We brush on the figure of Roberto Formigoni, an interview which the Corsera summed up in this title: "The interventionists want to take away our country to its influence." Understand? The wonderful influence gained by the pomp and welcoming kiss from his (and ours, unfortunately) premier fornicator! And to say that the film conveys this cry of the rebel route: Benghazi fears revenge. "Massacre if it passes Gaddafi" . The Robertone ostiafago bay over to this other title Italy does not mean that they face a revived Gaddafi "(" The Note "by Massimo Franco). Perhaps he and his political patron is looking into the new host with great fanfare. However, honestly wants to be recognized that a strong point in this thought-fear: "I warn against the risks of intervening directly [...] We are talking about the Arab world, where the danger of throwing a match into a deposit gasoline is very high. Armed intervention could be used as a pretext by extremists, the same cry for Al Qaeda for holy war. " Provided it is recognized that the "strength" of the argument is a ton of pure selfishness. Perhaps the governor (now supercattolica) Lombardia is more sensitive to the threat of flamboyant Saif, second son of Saddam, who inspired the title of the Courier on March 12: And Saif threatens Italy: "Traitors, we will react" (title). "If we lose, you'll be the first victims" (bolt)
Meanwhile, the threat of "invasion" in European countries (especially riparian) by the Libyans in desperate flight (and others) are coming true. When wielding the Colonel, with amused sadism, more than a "talking heads" of European political Gotha we laughed over how about a blustering bully talkative, but here's a title last Corsera: also come from Libya 21 barges (or cchiello) The yellow vessel with 1,800 on board. Rome order to halt (title). First few lines of text. "Five landings in the morning. Nine barges arrived in the evening. And more to come. " In another one today: A ship from Libya Interior Ministry warns "Danger terrorists" . "The Bolt" states: 1800 passengers, almost all Moroccans .
adjourn here the "Diary" with the following update to the mini- March 16 : (more titles Corsera ) So Gaddafi has routed the rebels . The counteroffensive has arrived in Benghazi and the West discusses . Moral of the story sad selfishness blind (but deluded of clairvoyance) and sinister (but far from supposing that status) moves global politics. Each national leadership (or alliance), ask their own interests, and acts accordingly. Sometimes mistaken also in that defense does not look long. And so the devil can laugh in the face of sprayers holy water .
