U.S., Rebels Reject Gaddafi Proposal

DemocrayNow reports:

The United States and Libyan rebels have rejected a new offer from the regime of Col. Muammar Gaddafi as the conflict in Libya enters its fifth month. Gaddafi’s son, Saif al-Islam, had said his father would hold elections within three months and would step down if he lost. But the Obama administration rejected the proposal, calling it "too late." NATO warplanes have resumed bombing Tripoli as rebels attempt to advance on the Libyan capital. The rebels say at least 16 of their fighters were killed Thursday in what appears to be an errant NATO air strike. NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the international attack on Libya is weakening the Gaddafi regime.

Hillary picks up the "rape as a weapon of war" propaganda theme

There we go: Hillary Clinton condemns rape as "war of weapon" (BBC sic dixit). Well, the mean "weapon of war", of course.  She should know - she was one of those who pushed her husband, Bill, to wage war against Serbia using exactly the same 'hyper-pious' pretext.  Of course, nobody in the White House is suggestion waging war on the Congo were over 1000 rapes were recorded each day (Maybe because the leaders of the Congolese rapists have not been accused of providing Viagra to their "rape forces"?).

Seriously, each time I think of the NATO war on Libya I am torn between a deep sense of repulsion for the "axis of kindness" and its imbecile propaganda about "rape as a weapon of war", a sense of outrage at all those who are willing to gobble up the exact same propaganda techniques a second time, and a sense of frustration and helplessness before the lukewarm indifference of those who *know* that this all crude propaganda and yet prefer to look away or accept it for the sake of some warped idea of political expedience.

And in Yemen the so-called opposition is also courting the US Empire making all sorts of promises of continuity and anti-al-Qaeda efforts.

This is all so discouraging...

Latest US propaganda: Viagra as a weapon of mass war rape

I can't believe it.  The "Bosnia blueprint" is followed with such meticulous care they now the US propaganda machine has even produced this:

Libya: Gaddafi investigated over use of rape as weapon:

The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor says there is evidence that Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi ordered the rape of hundreds of women as a weapon against rebel forces.  [The ICC is now looking at] possible evidence that pro-Gaddafi security forces had been given medication such as Viagra to enhance their sex drive

I am just left speechless. How can ANYBODY not see that what is taking place is a Bosnia Redux of the worst possible kind?!

Is the world really going to swallow this garbage AGAIN?!

All we need now before the full invasion Libya is a "Libyan Srebrenica" or a "Libyan Racak".  An occupation of Misrata by government forces maybe?  Or a bomb in a market Benghazi?

PS: here is al-Jazeera's rendering of this "Bosnian atrocity" :
