if you see it you see a regime like khadafi s. and we've heard about we've heard talk of the international criminal court we've heard issues about human rights violations war crimes what what reason does khadafi and his clique have to really negotiate now or do you just fight to death i mean you they do they have no initiative now to negotiate or even just surrender. i think you're missing the other factors in the dynamics what's happening is that. that his group is using this this revolution started with peaceful demonstrations gadhafi chose to wage a war against his people and prevent them from demonstrate peacefully we are in the state where we are today but look what's happening now yesterday and today top public and that's the aides are jumping ship with a course of foreign secretary today only three x. foreign secretary you and boy does the way you know the head of the parliament actively. acts prime minister the head of the intelligence and others they're all jumping ship what's good have you got. one can i can i ask you a

forth between ras lanuf and all these different towns one day the rebels are advancing the next day khadafi is advancing and it doesn't seem as if the nato airstrikes are allowing the kind of quick decisive rebel advance i think that everyone would like to see interestingly of course it's cut that is beginning to facilitate the rebel financing which would allow the rebels to pay for and finance their own weaponry that are going to do this when you know now that we're. in london if i go to you are you getting prepared for the long haul a long civil war and we came out weeks or months are we talking about eventually a partition state because as has been pointed out on this program is that the the rebels whatever groups there are they're not very well armed they're very well trained and are very well disciplined and they don't have a whole lot of communication i mean you don't get an army in a strength of a finger even though it takes a while to get yourself together to fight a civil war which essentially is what's happening where you think. yes first of all partition as not on the table we wi

see uncle and run away but he's not doing that both sides in the civil war have a popular base and khadafi has a popular base in tripoli and elsewhere and he's determined to stay apparently so if they can't succeed with the army and both or all three of the leaders can ruin sarkozy and obama say khadafi must go and if the bombing doesn't work doesn't that then mean in order not to feel that there has to be endless escalation and escalation ultimately leads to a military invasion if they can't stop or oust gadhafi i think that's where this is going even though they say it'll never happen for a brownback of the answer coalition in los angeles said the watching to the top that. the program thank you. we will know what you think france italy in the u.k. says he's decided military advisers to libya's to do check a facebook opinion poll lead to comments there's always good if you know what i was interested to hear what you think you can also catch the ladies that they send videos there at facebook dot com slash. this is our team from moscow ahead in the program we report on the spare room lost h

far by saying that gadhafi had to go it could be that a civil war rages on in libya for years with khadafi on one end and then these sort of cia backed rebels on the on the other side of it the fact that the cia had to go in there to figure out who the rebels even are indicates how bankrupt u.s. intelligence was on libya before this started it's very similar to what happened in iraq at the time where they chose to back be someone who had a greater constituency along the potomac river than he did along the tigris and euphrates so i think that you know while i like many people around the world would welcome the fall of the coffee regime i think we have. to be very very careful about who we get into bed with and who we start backing and particular we're talking about a civil war khadafy does have supporters there is a lot of supporters and that's a reality that you don't hear often on television this is a civil war and it's a dangerous game u.s. is playing libya absolute greenup and saying that for some time and with cholla being we not only supported we're paying him three hundred thousand d

in libya only three percent of the wounded are women and what that tells you is that the violence by khadafi forces is not indiscriminate it's actually quite targeted it's targeted at fighters because the fighters are male if the cut off you were trying to massacre civilians there would be thousands killed not a couple hundred killed in misrata and if you were indiscriminately targeting civilians then about half of the victims would be women and not three percent so my concern is that there was no bloodbath ongoing there was no bloodbath likely in benghazi and instead the civil war essentially was going to be over a month ago but then nato intervened led by the united states and what that has done is sort of level the playing field it's prolonged the civil war cities in the center of libya on the coast have now changed hands two three four times every time they change hands they're shelling from both sides and civilians that are caught in the middle so we didn't stop a bloodbath but we are prolonging and perpetuating the suffering of civilians in libya in my opinion and then i've got point o

for the same reasons you know in two thousand and nine but are those reasons the reasons are to dumb khadafi and to establish a government that is an islamic government and which will fight against the united states its allies and israel how do you know well the united states government told us in two thousand and nine they published a report widely distributed there and benghazi where the heart of islamist activities in in libya that's where the resistance is those are that they sent the second highest number of schools. bombers of any country on earth to iraq for example so it's not rocket science if it was it couldn't come from me well so then why i mean if you have this knowledge and you were you know formerly the voice and the president's ear the secretary of state defense is there isn't there someone like you on the inside saying he thinks that a president oh absolutely but they the presidents don't care since ronald reagan each president that i worked for and i didn't work for mr obama but mr the first mr bush mr clinton and the second mr bush they care less and less about what intell

khadafi had been put under sanctions for the lockerbie bombing. the bombing of pan am one of three and the united nations had demanded that libya turn over two men for trial at the hague what happened at the trial was the united states paid witnesses four million dollars apiece to testify against the libyans and. that has and those witnesses have now recanted their testimony it's the lockerbie trial made it clear that libya had nothing to do with that case and it has been a great embarrassment for the west and now khadafy has last summer we began to hear because he was trying to. gain some compensation some kickbacks possibly some fees from the oil companies and in october you occidental petroleum and chevron two us two major u.s. oil companies pulled out of libya and i think from october on there was going to be something that would happen to libya to punish them for making things hard for us while. it was exclusive analysis of the military operation in libya where often the videos. you can see footage sent from the rebel stronghold of benghazi t

citizens british lawmakers a rage over why the country sold millions of dollars of weapons to cuddle khadafi in the lead up to the unrest. the witch hunt against the priest finished pastor who's authorities months sacked for speaking out against one of the world's most notorious terrorists. and almost a year after the plane crash that killed poland's president kaczynski and ninety five officials in small moscow hands over new files to warsaw. with r.t. live from moscow our welcome to the program. may now be behind the arming of the libyan rebels but lawmakers in london a few colleagues allowed weapons to be sold to the khadafy regime as recently as last year it's among several arab nations who bought firepower from the u.k. which later saw uprisings ministers accuse them of misjudging one of those guns would be timed on civilians as artie's or i might expect. security forces put down our rest of the middle east with rubber bullets take gas and other irritant down the mission and they've got plenty the u.k. was still selling arms to libya just months before colonel gadhafi turned them on his

s if used of destroying a major khadafi controlled oil field it's causing fresh doubts over the coalition's true motives in libya. and portugal's runs to the e.u. to drag it out of a financial black hole that's threatening to rouse waves of anger among european taxpayers who will get again have to foot another bailout bill. also russia provides poland with newly declassified data on the nine hundred forty massacre of polish officers near ten all of this in a fresh effort to destroy the tension over the incident. but american pop culture celebrity jesse ventura is our guest for the next hour to the interview the former minnesota governor challenges the official spin some of the american government's darkest a most incriminating secrets that interview is now. archie sitting down with the former governor of minnesota t.v. personality former u.s. navy seal and bestselling author jesse ventura thank you so much for joining us and my pleasure always a pleasure your new book sixty three documents the government doesn't want you to read yeah how is this book new from what we have seen leak out in t

that are now perpetuating and in libya probably won't and very well for anyone even if khadafi is removed and i can just generally see how this is not going to evolve into internet anything stable all right let's take a look at the mainstream media's coverage of what's happening in the us and economic collapse in the us they seem to be leaning in the direction of blaming everything on the unions particularly teachers your thoughts dmitri all of the american political system loves to pick victims and. they generally are the weakest part of the population they don't really fight back you don't really want to pick a fight with a soldier but why not pick a fight with a schoolteacher instead if you can there's been all sorts of efforts to. take to my eyes you know dark skinned women with too many children you know you called on welfare queens things like that you blame immigrants you blame defenseless people and this is just part of this. sadistic streak exists in american politics and it comes out in the worst of times this is just part of it all right so that sounds like scapegoating sounds

they don't even use the word regime change even though the president has said and objective is to get khadafi out of power so they would not even acknowledge that this is a war ok because i'm going to you in london is that a lot of newspeak i mean this is a war if you look what's going on on the ground it's a war and i don't care if the american media doesn't want to call it out of the american white house it's a war and this is a man that was given a nobel peace prize. it is a war he was given the nobel peace prize where the nobel committee knew full well that in his election campaign he had said he is going to escalate the war in afghanistan which he has he has had more some pakistan. ordered in fact more drone attacks under obama bin in the eight previous years of the bush administration so the new wall that he was going to do this when they gave him the prize but they were so relieved to be relieved of bush that they were drooling at the mouth at the side of a bomber and essentially couldn't wait to hand him the prize i mean to be favored he was slightly embarrassed but peter they don't g

the international community intervention in libya to protect civilians from canal khadafi but washington lost to go further than that and is considering arming the rebels while officially denying that toppling khadafi is the objective of its involvement in libya broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake president obama has reportedly signed a secret order authorizing covert american support for rebel forces seeking to oust the league and leader critics of the us taking sides in a civil war war of the consequences we help accelerate the chaos. and in creating more chaos we're to rethink somehow we're going to be able to direct the outcome it's the same hubris that has visited the united states in iraq the same here. penya and in afghanistan causes us to believe that somehow we are going to wreck. the outcome in libya we cannot do that nor do we have the right to determine who the leader of libya should be many here radical forces could take advantage of the chaos in libya former jihadists know my bennett men who renounces all kind of asian in two thousand

it was going to corrupt the entire region or go much further in this case it's still there ok maybe khadafi didn't get rid of all of those nasty weapons ok maybe there's a few hanging around still so the computer comparison is not very good in that sense how do you feel about that i mean you know this intervention is giving a message that you know it looks could be critical for many people in the region. the example saudi arabia it's like i said earlier it's not it's not the same narrative all the way through. i think there's a real ambiguity here there's not clear lines between good guys and bad guys in our media like for trade here in the united states like you mentioned earlier at the top of the program the region in which the united states is backing armed forces inside libya is a region that is sent numerous people to fight americans in iraq and afghanistan and there are actually members of the libyan resistance movement that have admitted that they had actually been in iraq and afghanistan fighting against the americans and these are the same folks that we're trying to arm with with e

in our hands what we see no need for conscious and the leadership is so much obsessed with getting khadafi out of the power they don't actually care who the rebels are there was not. any. terrorist organisations in iraq before train chill three they can't enter iraq after saddam was just proud as a result of american led invasion which was seen in a matter of conscious in tunisia in egypt and in libya where the terrorist cells are. extremely effective that those cells could easily come into. international law professor francis boyle says nato planets interventional long before the empress webster really began pulling what we're seeing unfold in libya is a pre existing war ploy by nato by the british by the french by the americans to attack libya there is no way this sort of military force and tyrone power could have put together in such a short period of time and less that wasn't your point there was activated the moment there were disturbances in not invent cars and there everything now is going according to plan which is why i believe that since they have failed to do polls khadafi with

the international role calling on coalition forces to withdraw three weeks now into the intervention khadafi and for use on a three country trip in the southern europe to negotiate a diplomatic solution to the conflict and it's a policy about has more for a couple. he has always said that any kind of western intervention is nothing short of immoral and illegal speaking here in tripoli the government spokesperson mr mousavi put him said that he was optimistic that they could be a political solution to the current crisis is over the government was open to holding a referendum to holding elections to forming the whole political system but that one of us needed to be done with the libyan leader moammar gadhafi at the helm he says that he is needed to move the process forward and he also says that the international community has no right to say whether or not gadhafi mistake or leave the problem is that the opposition as well is really an international community would simply not sit sit with and deal that would still see gadhafi and members of his family involved in the leadership of this country

follow him welcome to crossfire and i'm peter lavelle we're told libby is khadafi must go but the royal family of the rain must stay this is a double standard is freedom allowed for some while others are not worthy of the same and will the west later regret its differing approaches to the arab awakening . can. cross talk different reactions towards the arab awakening i'm joined by hussein in pensacola he's the director of americans for democracy and human rights in bahrain in san francisco we crossed the steven zoom this he's a professor of politics and international studies at the university of san francisco and in new york we have matthew schaffer he is a writer for the national review online all right gentlemen this is cross talk that means you can jump in anytime you want but before we start our discussion here let's take a look at some of the issues and reactions to the arab awakening. what is this state. all security interests revolutionaries sandstones have brought to the streets across the arab world. so the western bank there was in egypt and tunisia meanwhile incrementally see

the khadafi regime the military mission is a limited one and does not include regime change. who the rebels are we don't have much visibility into into those who have risen against each element has its own agenda. it's pretty much a pickup ball game at this point and whether the u.s. will arm them discuss our plans if you need regarding arming the rebels they seem to be getting their butts whipped but gates and mullen pass the buck and that one's referring to the white house what if it was ok to the side of the missile in there and or at least we would clearly have a problem about how long the u.s. will stay the bottom line is no one can predict for you how long it will take. for that to happen and whether the u.s. is at war at all these are combat operations were intended to become a better force from the beginning i don't know why this administration is not going on this with the american people that this is about regime change what is clear the cost five hundred fifty million dollars in the first ten days alone and the estimated forty million dollars a month but not how it

consolidating down into an eastern syrian a based stronghold because it seems to yield the west to khadafi i understand that sensitivity entirely but it seems to me that what we've seen in the last twelve days of the no fly zone is not a superior solution ok one day we see this back and forth now on the road basically of this coastal highway back and forth between ras lanuf and all these different towns one day the rebels are advancing the next day khadafi is advancing and it doesn't seem as if the nato airstrikes are allowing the kind of quick decisive rebel advance i think that everyone would like to see interestingly of course it's qatar that is beginning to facilitate the rebel financing which would allow the rebels to pay for and finance their own weaponry and i did you learn this when you know now that we're. in london if i go to you are you getting prepared for the long haul a long civil war and we came out weeks or months are we talking about eventually a partition state because as has been pointed out on this program is that the the rebels whatever groups there are they're not ver

starting to see the cracks cracks in the regime and i think many in the arab world would rather see khadafi go from some some sort of an internal assassination some of his people around him or people simply overthrowing him then to see a sustained bombing campaign or multiple countries getting involved in libya's civil war absolutely including us let's start with what's happening today and then we're back in time we have right now uprisings in yemen bahrain and libya among others but the u.s. chose to go to the u.n. and push for military operations exclusively against libya why. i think that in part moammar gadhafi was sort of low hanging fruit and was a pariah that was despised by much of the world and is someone that the united states i think felt going to war against would be easier to get international coalition together on and to sell to the american public particularly and we've seen this come out as one of the narratives as to why the united states is. although this was not one of the stated reasons when the u.s. went to the u.n. but the bombing of pan am flight one o three you heard

it's a draw because look at the what's happening on the ground in libya it's basically a stalemate khadafi did not go away as everybody thought he was he's actually in trenching his forces in tripoli so i would say that the the success of the program the proper propaganda program it did not succeed in getting rid of gadhafi i would say that the program so far is a is a failure for the united states and you know they're saying the u.s. is the loser and that's one thing i want to ask about the story too you know is she kind of pointed out the irony that the united states government helps to remove firewalls to the internet in the middle east and in china meanwhile u.s. corporations put up those firewalls to do business in countries that censor the internet do you see an irony there i don't i mean corporations aren't are beholden to capitalism they're beholden to their shareholders i would expect them to just kowtow to whatever us government policy as well but we see a relationship and we've seen as first quite some time between the u.s. intelligence agencies and google and others avi. they t

difference is that despite the many problems of the assad regime it has much more of a social base khadafi does at this point and the people of syria even those who oppose assad would resist any kind of the western intervention russia has a base in syria tired to see any kind of resolution for an intervention getting past the u.n. security council in the case of that country now also i'm curious you know gadhafi you mentioned he's a dictator that is now discords as the u.s. and u.s. allies but how do you get to that point because it actually wasn't that long ago that back in two thousand and eight khadafi was actually helping the weapon the war on terror and back in two thousand and three when the u.s. that you know were gained diplomatic ties with him and he let oil companies and you know how did it all turn around so quickly for him. well he was rehabilitated in a sense that we were happy with another he was an ally but he is kind of resigned to communicate communicate and so we could work with him better and there was no real prospect at that point for him being overthrown so they figur

but i think that in part momar khadafi was sort of low hanging fruit and was a pariah that was despised by much of the world and is someone that the united states i think felt going to war against would be easier to to get international coalition together on and to sell to the american public particularly and we've seen this come out as one of the narratives as to why the united states is libya although this was not one of the stated reasons when the u.s. went to the u.n. but the bombing of pan am flight one hundred three you heard everyone from john mccain to progressive t.v. host ed schultz using that as an excuse to justify this u.s. bombing the fact is though that the u.n. security council resolution one nine hundred seventy three that was passed was very narrowly passed because five very powerful countries china russia brazil india and germany abstained their populations represent a majority of the citizens of the world as represented on the security council so i think that the united states also was engaged in some reactionary politics here and the feeling that we had to do someth

it may turn out that khadafi may be involved in attracting direct military intervention. >> the desire to limit military commitment has been shown in libya. after the initial attack, they scaled back. the rest of nato cannot match this. >> i am concerned that the united states is showing reluctance till -- use of the efforts at its disposal. when you are trying to correct -- protect civilians with air power, the americans have the precision missiles that no other country has, with the best prospect of destroying his military without endangering civilians in this area. i think the americans have become -- cannot be too reluctant to allow the unique assets that they have, to be properly utilized. togreat britain's ability deploy air power is now severely limited by the need to maintain the libyan operation. the coalition now stresses a host of reasons why they are not going to take similar action in syria and elsewhere. >> there is a high bar to military engagement and it involves genocide and the grave and systematic war crimes, it appeared that gadaffi was prepared to commit this and i

soon seemingly endless funds for another war in another muslim country camrose sarkozy and obama say khadafi must go in the bombing doesn't work doesn't back then in order not to feel that there has to be endless escalation an escalation ultimately leads to a military invasion if they can't stop or oust gadhafi i think that's where this is going even though they say it'll never happen. and coming up a blast from the past streaks across siberia we'll find out why thousands of russians followed here to build a new railway system in a remote region of the country which is still running strong today. now year after the gulf of mexico oil disaster killed eleven people b.p. is trying to shift the blame by suing its contractors well millions of gallons of oil spewed from the deepwater rig following an explosion which led to one of the worst environmental accidents in history and while b.p. fights over big bucks in court it's the locals that are bearing the brunt are going to check the story five million barrels of oil in combination with almost two million gallons of highly toxic chemical dispersan
