Theresa May is paying for the libyan mess-fair enough !


A English mea culpa, and we, we and BHL? Manchester attack and Libya

It must have been a landslide victory for Theresa May, who wanted to profit from the general concern related to the Brexit to increase her majority. However, in recent days, polls, which certainly have to be considered cautiously in England even more than elsewhere, seemed  to announce a comeback of the Labour Party, yet taken by the disputed (by the labor establishment) Jeremy Corbyn. One of the reasons: the Manchester bombing highlighted even more the huge mistake that was the British and French intervention in Libya. Indeed, the terrorist was torn between Manchester and Libya, where his father had enlisted him at sixteen in his Islamist anti-Gaddafi fight. In fact, a part of the Libyans in Manchester played a significant role in the civil war of 2011 in Libya. At that time, the (conservative) British authorities facilitated sending Islamists from Manchester in Libya, as the father of the terrorist, thinking they constitute a more credible alternative to Gaddafi that laics (according to Le Monde, May 30, 2017). Brilliant idea, brilliant policy which we today see the results

It must be said that in England, unlike France, Libyan politics had been already heavily criticized, in 2016, by a parliamentary report lambasting British military intervention in Libya "based on incorrect assumptions" and ill-prepared. "We were trained by french enthusiasm", explains a parliamentarian. British policy in Libya before and since the intervention of March 2011 was based on "erroneous assumptions and an incomplete understanding of the country and the situation." According to the report, the British and the French "were blind about the significant part of the Islamists in the rebellion, and did not anticipate that they would benefit. Parliamentarians described the "disastrous record of intervention, designed to change a regime without providing alternatives, which resulted in the transformation of Libya in 'failed - state' . '" "The result is a political and economic collapse, a civil  and tribal war, a humanitarian crisis and migrations, a widespread violation of the human rights, the spread of weapons of gadhafi in the region and the emergence of the Islamic State in Libya", write unvarnished parliamentarians in their summary.

In addition, the report says: "the evidence we have gathered, the threat to civilians from Benghazi has been widely exaggerated"!

Brilliant idea, brilliant policy ! People in charge have to be made accountable from

A mistake, a crime, an imbecility, a policy change - Corbyn's right!

Remember that September 15, 2011, the president of the Republic french Nicolas Sarkozy and the British Prime Minister David Cameron, followed as their shadows by the philosopher Bernard Henri Levy landed Benghazi cheered by a jubilant crowd. The English, in good parliamentary Democrats were keen to make their mea culpa. And we? Will we hear yet BHL lessons of geostrategy? A little regret? Well, finally, with Macron, we should be rid of the brilliant philosopher and his influence.

It's really a pure scandal and an unspeakable mess. Because finally, for the first time, there was an agreement of the United Nation General Council, Russians and Chinese included, for an operation limited to Benghazi to protect people against an imminent assault and impose mediation to Gadhafi. French and English themselves were deliberately perjuries and continued the war to provoke the fall of Kadhafi. With the result that we know! And much worse; understandably, Russians and Chinese well vowed that they would never do it again, and opposed any intervention in Syria. Bravo! The Libyan shit is also responsible for the Syrian mess and its millions of deaths. In history, this intervention in Libya will appear as a fault and a crime, and a worse than 1956 Suez imbecility.

Another forgotten, for which some should perhaps be accountable: the death of a french secret agent, Pierre Marziali, murdered the May 12, 2011 in Benghazi. Having rightly understood that the rebels supported by Bernard Henri Lévy and Nicolas Sarkozy consisted of battalions of hard-core jihadists, Marziali wanted to prevent Claude Gueant and, above all, Nicolas Sarkozy, a friend of the Qatar,Emirate, which supported then financially and militarily the rebels Libyans. Alain July, former Director of the DGSE intelligence questioned by the authors of "dead for Françafrique", by far the most credible scenario book. Excerpt: 'the katiba from 17 February claimed the death of Marziali, however it was supported by the Qataris. That a malicious person has a message to the guys at the katiba or the Qataris a French was there and spying them, it is possible! Dulas and Marziali had written a note to warn against the Islamists. Less than a month later, Marziali is killed. In this job I'm too old to believe in coincidences. If someone wanted to be clever by dropping the name of Marziali to Islamists, it is already very serious. "But if this leak was organized, that the info has been transmitted in good conscience to the katiba or its Qatari protectors, it is even worse: it would be treason." At the very least, Marziali took high risks to know who really were the anti-Gaddafi and let know to the French authorities, and he lost his life for nothing. But in France, no mea culpa!

Yet our political brilliant did not understand a few simple truths, for example that a secular dictatorship is better than a religious dictatorship, much better than a complete collapse. That military interventions in the Middle East have been disastrous. It is stupid enough to be surprised and indignant because more we're bombing the Arab Muslims, more we destroy their societies, more they commit attacks at home. (well in cases where intervention protects a country and its legitimate authorities against the collapse in the face of an Islamist attack, as in Mali, it is obviously a duty to lead). That's what Jeremy Corbyn says, presneting himself as a man of peace therefore, and he may be damned right.

And in France? Apart from Michel Onfray, not many people . Since there seems to be a renewal in Politics there is, it would be good that there is also a renewal of ideas. And a more important role for those who are opposed to the wars of Iraq and intervention in Libya at the expense of those who supported them.
