		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;ANSWER and Cynthia McKinney, your are blinded by dogma. &lt;/i&gt; 
 
On the contrary, it is the Daily Kos who was blinded by Obama and the Democrats that the real &quot;dogma&quot; that rules America at the moment.  Obama has maintain the Middle Eastern wars, maintained the Bush Tax cuts and offered to cut Social Security to the Republicans.  Clearly Obama and the Democrats serves the rich, Wall Street, and the powerful who are his real constituents.  They are not the ordinary folks who wasted their votes putting Obama into office and their are clearly not members of the Black community who overwhelmingly voted for Obama. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You probably didn&#039;t vote for McKinney the first time around.  The Black community has a long affinity with Qaddafi especially during the 1970&#039;s.  And apparently the NOI has a sizable base of support in the Black community because they are DOING something FOR the Black community rather than like you supporting the overthrow of an African nation by the West. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What you say is true of the intent but Ms. McKinney did report back in her recent ANSWER speech and appearance in Harlem that Qaddafi has support of Black Libyans.  What you are witnessing here is a propaganda and smear campaign by anti-LIBYAN forces.  Qaddafi has been out of power since 1977 and the faction seeking to gain power in Libya are doing so at the expense of the Libya people through a demonization campaign targeting Qaddafi.  The demonization of Qaddafi is the PRETEXT used by the counter-revolutionary forces to bring down Libya. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Libya War Lies Worse Than Iraq 
By Thomas C. Mountain  22 July, 2011  Countercurrents.org 
 
Asmara, Eritrea: The lies used to justify the NATO war against Libya have surpassed those created to justify the invasion of Iraq. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch both had honest observers on the ground for months following the rebellion in eastern Libya and both have repudiated every major charge used to justify the NATO war on Libya. 
 
According to the Amnesty observer, who is fluent in Arabic, there is not one confirmed instance of rape by the pro-Gadaffi fighters, not even a doctor who knew of one. All the Viagra mass rape stories were fabrications. 
 
Amnesty could not verify a single &#8220;African mercenary&#8221; fighting for Gaddafi story, and the highly charged international satellite television accounts of African mercenaries raping women that were used to panic much of the eastern Libyan population into fleeing their homes were fabrications. /////// see the rest at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.countercurrents.org/mountain220711.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.countercurrents.org/mountain220711.htm&lt;/a&gt; ]]></description>

Qadafi Duck, this Jewish man who is supported by a bunch of nutty NOI types and racist McKinney, has hired these black Africans to kill his own citizens.  If Asians wee suddenly employed by the President to kill Blacks in the U.S. would you not shoot back?  She has no youth supporting her because the minority who IS there are a bunch of backward imbeciles and they all happen to be old.  @Rob Tomorrow............. she is a female NOI nutcase who is not capable of using her intelligence right now.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a substantial Libyan emigre population in the US and EU countries, I have discovered, one that to me is similar to other emigre national groups brought to the US after losing power in their home countries, such as the Gusanos in Miami nostalgic for the days when Cuba was run by Meyer Lansky&#039;s pals. Other parallels are with the Vietnamese Americans nostalgic for the privileged existence their families enjoyed under French colonial rule or/and later under the CIA.  
 
Young pro-intervention Libyan emigres in the US are largely offspring of families who had a large stake in the colonialist puppet King Idris regime, and are understandably enthusiastic at the prospect of having their fortunes restored by Nato.  
 
For instance, one vociferous defender of the &quot;rebels&quot; on various blogs, Nafissa Assed, turns out to be the daughter of a high Idris regime official, and the granddaughter of a man who was King Idris&#039; Prime Minister.  
So when you hear a Libyan resident of the US denounce Gaddafi, find out where they&#039;re coming from: were members of their family officials or beneficiaries of the Mussolini/Churchill/Idris monarchy?

		<description><![CDATA[This is the right quote from the Green Book. Your link distorts the meaning of the words used. 
 
Black people are now in a very backward social situation, but such backwardness works to bring about their numerical superiority because their low standard of living has shielded them from methods of birth control and family planning. Also, their old social traditions place no limit on marriages, leading to their accelerated growth. The population of other races has decreased because of birth control, restrictions on marriage, and constant occupation in work, unlike the Blacks, who tend to be less obsessive about work in a climate which is continuously hot ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I agree NATO didn&#039;t just jump up and decide to go to war on a heartbeat. It was planned for months prior, just like the peaceful rebel protest that somehow knocks over an armory and has N.A.T.O. on tap for air strikes. Also lets not forget the rebels glorious Al-Qaeda backing CIA Operating leader. Who magically decides to fight for freedom after living in Langley Virginia area for 15years. O and he just happens to be able to get the CIA on the phone on a whim. I wonder if living in Langley Virginia area after fighting for Al-Qaeda had anything to do with that. 
 
  Also your alleged rape victims stemming from that one woman they plaster on Al Jazeera all the time. She must be magic because not only would she have had to mail her rape surveys, while the postal system wasn&#039;t running in the country she also would have had to have them returned. Or maybe shes psychic and saw the rape coming and mailed them prior to the despicable attack before the war even started.  
 
  Lastly real rape victims don&#039;t need propaganda pieces to tell the world they exist in war, unless your perception of what war is has been based in fantasy.    ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sister Sumayyah, 
 
I truly regret the agony that you and your country have gone through. I do not here attempt to make statements as to the history of the conflicts in Libya. I simply state what I believe is true: that NATO involvement is not going to help you or your people now, and especially not in the long term. And I stand by my statement: anybody who feels that NATO has the interests of the Libyan people at the forefront of their minds, is gravely misinformed. I hope you consider that.  
 
Please know that I do commend your passion and involvement in your beliefs. That is what this story was intended to be about. Youth involvement. And as my father greatly pointed out to me earlier today, youth of developing countries are often so much more aware of political issues than the youth of the West.  
 
Please do not feel that I am against you. I simply wish to caution those who have placed their faith in NATO.  
 
And for the record, I spent an hour outside talking to the Libyan youth. 
 
My greatest respects. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obviously the decision to attack Libya was planned.  Gaddafi, like all strongmen and dictators who make deals with the West to stay in power eventually become no longer necessary or have ambitions that conflict with the goals of their masters; I believe the latter is true for Gaddafi.  The stories of genocide against Libyan citizens and so called mercenaries using rape as a tactic are the same old tropes used to involve ourselves into conflicts, it&#039;s propaganda designed to influence thinking.  There were brutal crack downs in Yemen and Bahrain against the civilians protesting there and not even a strong diplomatic admonishment for the US; why the double standard?  I would almost have more respect for the US if they would just be honest about the why we&#039;re getting involved; just tell us if it&#039;s natural resources or the strategic location or that new markets need to be opened for US corporations to flood their products into.  As for Gaddafi, well this is his gift for trying to strengthen the position of Libya in the global market.   ]]></description>

I would almost have more respect for the US if they would just be honest about the why we&#039;re getting involved; just tell us if it&#039;s natural resources or the strategic location or that new markets need to be opened for US corporations to flood their products into.  As for Gaddafi, well this is his gift for trying to strengthen the position of Libya in the global market.   </p>

		<description><![CDATA[C&#039;mon now,  do you have amnesia? You did see the bloodshed in Yemen, in Bahrain and now Syria right? Are those tyrants who lead those countries bloody enough for you?  Apparently not for the US because there was no intervention on behalf of civilians there and apparently bloody enough not for you. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gaddafi was an advocate for unifying the currencies and the govt&#039;s of the AU(African Union) into a collective unit which would serve to strengthen the bargaining position of the Continent against the exploitative and usurious policies implemented by IMF/World Bank and the EU; policies which have plagued Africa since independence decades ago.  This plan would have been more effective(and is probably one of the reasons why Libya is being bombed now) than all of the parasitic &quot;aid&quot; groups that come over with mosquito nets claiming to help.  Say what you will about his tenure - 30+ years is it? Okay, but let me know if you&#039;ve heard of a more comprehensive plan to assist Africa in freeing itself of external influence.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Really, I think the jokes on you;  the UN Human Development Index 2010 has Libya as the 53rd most developed nation, quite noteworthy I think for a non-western country that has languished as a pariah for such a long time.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Allison is this some kind of joke? On what basis are you claiming that Libya under Gaddaffi is a prosperous country? What if I told you that the last time I was in Libya was last december when I went to visit relatives in Tripoli. Let&#039;s just say that it has the appearance of a third world city. There is NO infrastructure whatsoever, almost no-existent healthcare, no sewage system, no postal system, poor education, sky high unemployment rates, the roads are a mess..... Gaddaffi has spent the last 42 years amassing the oil wealth for him and his sons. He is using that wealth now to kill his own people. So please if you are going to make statements about how amazing Libya is under Gaddaffi then at least back this up with evidence.  ]]></description>
