NATO War Crimes – Cluster Bombings in Libya
World news Wednesday, September 28th, 2011Warning shocking video – NATO drops internationally banned cluster bombs on Brega Libya. The bombing is concrete evidence of war crimes. The Geneva Convention prohibits the use, development, production and other proliferation activities associated with cluster munitions. Cluster bombs break up over a target and disperse hundreds of tiny bombs over a wide area – as can clearly be seen in the above video. At the start of the Libyan war, the United Nations warned the U.S., France, the UK and Canada against using indiscriminate weapons like cluster bombs as they amount to war crimes.
The Geneva Convention states: “Persons taking no active part in the hostilities … shall in all circumstances be treated humanely.” Those are the opening words of the Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, signed at Geneva, 12 August 1949. The rules of war prohibit the use of inherently indiscriminate weapons or weapons that are incapable of being used in a manner that complies with the obligation to distinguish between civilians and combatants. Those who use them in civilian areas therefore open themselves to charges of war crimes.”
Under Article 85 of the Geneva Conventions, it is a war crime to launch “an indiscriminate attack affecting the civilian population in the knowledge that such an attack will cause an excessive loss of life or injury to civilians.” Under the Hague Conventions, Article 22 and 23, “The right of belligerents to adopt means of injuring the enemy is not unlimited,” and “It is especially forbidden to kill treacherously individuals belonging to the hostile nation or army.”
Scenes like this occur on a daily bases in Libya. Do the images disturb you? If you have a heart, they should. Innocent women and children are being mass murdered in these wars. Barack Hussein Obama’s war of aggression against Libya is indiscriminately killing thousands of Libyan civilians. The U.S. invasion of Afghanistan killed thousands of innocent Afghan women and children. The U.S. invasion of Iraq killed over 1.5 millions innocent civilians – majority were defenseless women and children.
The next time Obama says he unilaterally authorized (Congress never authorized the war) U.S. Forces to attack Libya you know humanitarian reasons were not and are still not the agenda. Do you still support Obama and his wars? Would you support his wars if the children screaming in the video were your children? Answer this question the next time you sit down to a nice quiet dinner with your family and you look across the dinner table at your wife and young children.

The American people need to wake up and wake up very soon. These wars were not started by terrorists they were started by Barack Hussein Obama and George W Bush. There weren’t planned for and prepared for by bin Laden or any other alleged terrorist. They are atrocities committed by the United States presidents George W Bush and Barack Hussein Obama, by the French president Nicolas Sarkozy, by the UK Prime Ministers David Cameron and Tony Blair and the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. These bombings are not improvised roadside bombings or suicide bombings they are U.S., French, UK, Canadian and NATO bombs. Bombs that are killing thousands of civilians indiscriminately.
The Libyan government and the Libyan people were not the ones who stole $16 trillion – your own government did that. Libya didn’t take away your jobs – your own government did that. Libya didn’t take away your home – you own government did that. Libya had nothing to do with the U.S. and European financial crisis – your own government and the European Federal Reserve bankers did that.
You’ve been robbed by Barack Hussein Obama and George W Bush and their Federal Reserve bankers Timothy Geithner and Henry Paulson. The evidence clearly shows that you were attacked by your own government on September 11, 2001. Afghanistan, Iraq, or Libya did not attack you, your own government attacked them. How long will it be before your government turns their guns on you?
