Now it comes with Mullah Omar?

The Washington Post suggests that the death of Osama bin Laden could help the negotiations with the Afghan Taliban led by Mullah Omar. Would finally be a thing of common sense after ten years of futile war on Afghanistan which has caused 60 000 deaths among civilians, Taliban fighters between 35 000 and 2441 fell between the soldiers of the Coalition.

Hypothesis is plausible and feasible, although for different reasons than those advanced by the American newspaper's argument that the death of Caliph Arabia could lead the Afghan Taliban to finally break with al Qaeda and international terrorism. Omar and Osama are at loggerheads in 1998 after the attacks on American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, which are attributed to Bin Laden, which caused 223 deaths and 4000 injuries.

On the diplomatic front, the turkish prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan has stressed the need to step back to Muammar Gaddafi, and his dismissal of the country.

Who betrayed Tripoli

I'm trying to imagine what will be the Italy-Libya chapter in the history books of Carlucci, that books are not communists. The protagonists, as is known, are the bloodthirsty Colonel Gaddafi, which binds us even closer to the Treaty of fraternal friendship (triumphantly ratified almost unanimously by Parliament, but four cats and a few mavericks radicals) are the insurgents, who two months are slaughtered by their former glory and worship leader, is a French president in elections that he immediately realized that it is more noticeable when you bomb, that NATO is an alliance entirely devoid of political vision at the moment.

Libya, Italy to bombardamentiLa Russa: "But only on clear objectives"

And 'yes Italian arrived in Libya in the bombing. "Do not indiscriminate bombing," explained the defense minister, Ignazio La Russa, but "missions with precision missiles to precise targets." With the go-ahead by the Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, Italy approved the request of NATO to take part in "actions".

After a telephone conversation with U.S. President, Barack Obama, the premier will call soon, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron, and NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, to inform them. The Italian decision will also be at the center of tomorrow with the President of the French Republic, Nicolas Sarkozy, at the intergovernmental summit planned in Rome.

Libya, "the rais use cluster bombs on civilians," but denies Tripoli. New Born raid

The humanitarian organization HumanRights Watch (HRW) has confirmed that government forces loyal to the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi have used cluster bombs against the city of Misurata, but the charge was denied by an official spokesman in Tripoli. The news was released yesterday by the New York Times, which published a letter which he has sent to the port city controlled by insurgents and besieged for over a month.

Forward with the raid as long as there will be violence against civilians. And 'the commitment of the 28 NATO allies on the Council of Foreign Affairs in Berlin today.

Gaddafi accepts the 'cease-fuoco'Ma for the rebels: "No agreement with the rais"

Immediate 'ceasefire', promotion of national dialogue, protection of foreigners in the country and delivery of humanitarian aid. This is the recipe given by the African Union to resolve the military confrontation in Libya. Muammar Gaddafi had agreed, despite having repeatedly announced and rejected the hypothesis of a Stop the Use of Weapons on the Libyans.

This is why NATO - through its General Anders Fogh Rasmussen - urges caution: "Any ceasefire in Libya must be credible and verifiable." The Colonel expressed his conciliatory position during his meeting yesterday with South African President Jacob Zuma and the other three leaders of the continent, representing the African Union.

An old world at war

Write something meaningful about the war in Libya is difficult. And it's hard to write something meaningful in general on a war like this, now more than ever. You could perhaps do the eve of the first post-Cold War military intervention, Iraq and following. But now, weighed down by these experiences, we can only read and reread the article by Massimo Fini, published newspaper and taken up by the fact MicroMega, and find substantial agreement with him.

Why say no to intervention in Libya

Hillary Clinton, albeit ambiguously, raised the possibility of U.S. and NATO military intervention in Libya: "We will continue to explore all possible avenues for further action ... There is no imminent military action involving U.S. ships." The key words are "all" and "imminent." When it is stated that "all" options are possible it also includes the military.

And what is not "imminent" today could become tomorrow. Meanwhile, the Sixth Fleet is en route to the coast of Libya and Italy has already authorized the U.S. to use for its air base in Sigonella "purely humanitarian purposes." And you know how they end the "humanitarian purposes" operated by trigger-happy American pilots.
