Tripoli har fallt

[Superbad]

Jasså? Jeg har ingen problemer med å dokumentere påstandene mine. Men jeg ser det ikke som min personlige jobb å opplyse deg i 42 år med historie og politikk.

Du har jo ikke gjort annet enn å forsøke å "opplyse" meg i denne tråden, uten å dokumentere noen av påstandene dine

Hadde du hatt et eller to hull i kunnskapen og ellers hatt en grei oversikt over Libya, så hadde det vært noe annet. Men når du ikke ser ut til å ha fått med deg fundementale ting som Libya-Chad, så blir hele jobben litt mer omfattende enn jeg har tid og ork til.

Med tanke på at jeg ikke har skrevet et eneste ord om Chad er dette en mildt sagt snodig påstand. På tide å gire ned kanskje?

Men, skulle jeg ha skrevet en artikkel, så hadde jeg også inkludert kilder og lenker til alle påstander. I motsetning til den feilaktige smørja du kom med.

Hva var feil med den? Dokumentér gjerne påstandene dine.

Du linker da til en artikkel som påstår at Libya, under Gaddafi aldri har gått til krig mot, eller invadert, et naboland? Siden du stempler den som interessant, så regner jeg med at du går god for innholdet? Eller stoppet du og stusset over at en artikkel med åpenbare faktafeil kanskje ikke er helt til å stole på?

Jeg kan gjerne dokumentere at Gaddafi innvaderte Chad, men trenger jeg det? Er det ikke såpass kjent at dokumentasjon er overflødig?

En annen ting jeg stusser på er tallene på døde i NATO angrep, i følge din artikkel 1100 sivile. Her er greia, jeg har ikke hørt om eller kan ikke finne noen kilder som kan bekrefte et slikt tall. Jeg har googlet, uten å finne bekreftelse. Siden jeg vet at jeg ikke er et orakel, så har jeg til og med lagt ut spørsmålet om antall bekreftede døde sivile i forbindelse med NATO angrep på diverse forum. Svaret jeg har fått er det jeg trodde, det har skjedd feil, men om man ser på tall som er bekreftet og/eller relativt sikre, så snakker vi ca 20-40. Jeg fant også en Wiki-side som lister opp dødsfall i forbindelse med NATO bombinger, etter dato og sted. Noen bekreftet, til og med fra NATO selv, andre ubekrefta og/eller omstridte. Det er ikke i nærheten av 1100. Nå jeg sier at jeg ikke kan finner noen kilder til tallet, så er ikke det helt sant. Det er en kilde, og det er Moussa Ibrahim og regimet selv. Men de har ikke vært i nærheten av å klare å bevise disse tallene, til tross for at de har tatt med journalister rundt på tur for å "bevise det". Du finner f. eks filmer på nett hvor flere journalister dras med på en tur rundt i Tripoli, som ender med at regmet ikke klarer å finne stedet de hevder at ble bombet. CNN, BBC og AJE var noen av de som var med, du finner bla innslaget til Nic Robertson på youtube. Jeg gir deg ikke et sikkert tall på antall sivile som er drept i bombeangrep, det jeg sier er at dette tallet ligger skyhøyt over noe som har vært mulig å bekrefte som noe annet enn påstander fra regimet. Og for å si det slik, de gangene regimet har snakket sant, hvor sivile faktisk HAR blitt drept, så har de klart å bevise det. Journalister har fått sett det og skrevet om det og NATO har selv kommet med en bekreftelse. Det tallet er ikke høyt og det er ikke engang i samme nabolag som 1100. Hvorfor klarer de å bevise det noen få ganger, mens alt annet bare står som påstander? Det er jo også fakta at regimet har mye å vinne på å skru opp dødstallene. De har ikke våpen eller mulighet til å motstå NATOs makt i all evighet, så det eneste håpet er å fremstille NATO i et så uheldig lys at verdenssamfunnet tvinger dem ut. Den beste måten å gjøre det på er å komme med skyhøye tall på sivile som er drept. 1100 drepte sivile hadde vært krise for NATO. Jeg kan love deg 100% sikkert at om dette tallet var 100% nøyaktig, eller relativt nøyaktig, så hadde regimet snudd verden opp ned for å bevise det. Det hadde ikke bare kunne gjøre noe med verdensopinionen, men også med støtten i det libyske folket. Artiklen din serverer altså et tall som i beste fall er både ubekreftet og usikkert, som fakta. Da bør kildekritikken kicke inn. Det er også derfor jeg etterspør dokumentasjon på at Røde Halvmåned har sagt noe slikt, for det er mildt sagt pussig om de sitter på bevis som har gått alle andre hus forbi.

Jeg la forresten også ut artiklen i sin helhet og svaret jeg fikk fra en afrikaner var følgende: "The author, Thomas C Mountain, is a paid propagandist for Pres. Afewerki of Eritrea", så det ser også ut til at selve kilden i beste fall er tvilsom. Jeg tror heller ikke et sekund på at en afrikaner, eller en person med bånd til Afrika, ikke vet at Gaddafi har invadert både Chad og Uganda (for å hjelpe kompis Idi Amin), i tillegg til å hatt problemer med Egypt. Jeg fikk også et interessant svar i forhold til Gaddafis kriging gjennom historien:

Gadaffi has attacked Egypt and Chad (twice), and sent his troops to Sudan (many of the Janjaweed were former Gadaffi fighters), Uganda (for Idi Amin) and supported vicious civil wars in Liberia, Mali, Niger, Sierra Leone, Mauritania, Somalia. He supported the Provo IRA, the Red Brigades, Carlos, Black September, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, and Milosevich and Radavan Karadich.

Noen av de vet jeg fra før at stemmer. Jeg vet at han har vært i Chad og Uganda, jeg vet at han har støttet IRA, jeg vet at han hatt mye å gjøre med Black September (for å ta et eksempel, flyet som ble hijacket på vei til Paris(?) og landet hos Idi Amin i Uganda stoppet først i Libya. Det var Black September. Det er en svært kjent sak fordi Israelske agenter satte i gang en nokså vill redningsaksjon iom at de fleste/mange av gislene var israelere) og jeg vet at han støttet Serbia når de bedrev rene folkemord på muslimer. Det er også synlig i dag, fordi Gaddafi pr i dag har en enorm støtte i nettopp Serbia, som en takk for sist. Jeg vet også at han har vært involvert i mange borgerkriger i Afrika. Jeg orker ikke å google alt nå for å kunne vise til kilder, men du må gjerne gjøre det selv, jeg er sikker på at du vil oppdage at det meste, om ikke alt, stemmer. Gaddafi har utnevnt seg selv til kongen av Afrika, han har rotet rundt der i veldig mange år og betalt enorme summer til afrikanske land og diktatorer. Det bør ikke komme som et sjokk på noen at han har støtte der og at journalister i afrikanske land prøver å stille ham i et godt lys. Bare se på AU og hans gode venner i Zimbabwe og Angola. Når man her forsøker å fremstille Gaddafi som langt hyggeligere enn Saddam, så er det direkte feil. Han har ikke bare invadert naboland, han har både vært med og støttet flere kriger i Afrika og Europa, i tillegg til å støtte kjente terrororganisasjoner. Libya har aldri invadert et naboland under Gaddafi blir liksom "litt" feil..

Bare for å ha sagt det, jeg tror heller ikke på alt som kommer ut fra "min side". Jeg har f. eks aldri trodd på historiene om viagra og jeg har tatt historiene om massevoldtekt med en stor klype salt. Jeg tviler ikke et sekund på at slike ting KAN skje, voldtekt er dessverre en del av krig, men jeg har ikke sett tilfredsstillende bevis på at det er brukt som et systematisk våpen. Når jeg oppdaterer med meldinger her inne, så gjør jeg også et utvalg i forhold til å se på om jeg tror det er noe hold i det som meldes. Mange av twitter meldingene er nemlig ikke korrekte. Nå ser det ut til at det meste av det jeg har meldt her faktisk har blitt bekreftet av media, så det er positivt. Poenget her er at jeg har ingen problemer med å stille meg skeptisk til mye av det som kommer ut, jeg skulle ønske du gjorde det samme. Tallene på antall sivile som er drept av NATO er et godt sted å begynne, du bør i det minste være skeptisk. Du må gjerne se på artiklen som interessant, men du bør være klar over at den har direkte fakta feil og mye ubekreftede spekulasjoner. Vedkommende som har skrevet dette er ikke nøytral, han er ute etter å bevise sin sak. Om du er så nøytral som du hevder, så bør det være noe du tar med i betraktningen.

Det er sent på natta og jeg orker ikke å gå nøye inn i alt, men jeg kan si så mye som at antallet døde FØR NATO gikk inn, 110, i beste fall også er omstridt. Jeg mener at det er direkte løgn eller bevisst manipulering av fakta, men iom at jeg er for trøtt til å google frem linker som underbygger og beviser min mening, så nøyer jeg meg med å si at det på ingen måte er oppleste og vedtatte tall. Det bør også ringe noen bjeller ved at man linker til en avis i NZ, ikke Amnesty direkte. Det samme kan sies om at det skal være bevist at Gaddafi ikke har brukt fly eller helikopter. Det finnes filmer fra, jeg tror det er, Misrata som viser nettopp det. Men siden jeg heller ikke gidder å rote frem det på denne tiden av døgnet, så skal jeg ikke gå lenger enn å si at dette også er omstridt og det er ikke bevist at det ikke har skjedd.

Jeg fant også en ting til jeg MÅ kommentere:

The majority of the Libyan people are rallying behind the Libyan government and “the leader”, Muammar Gadaffi, with over one million people demonstrating in support on July 1 in Tripoli, the capital of Libya. Thousands of Libyan youth are on the front lines fighting the rebels and despite thousands of NATO air strikes authentic journalists on the ground in western Libya report their morale remains high.

Det var en egen artikkel om dette som ble lagt ut på KG og det er 100% løgn. Man påstår at over 1 million mennesker demonstrerte FOR Gaddafi i Tripoli. Den andre artiklen hadde faktisk et enda høyere tall. Nå har det seg slik at det bor en knapp million i Tripoli til sammen. Om dette regnestykket skal henge på greip må hver eneste person i Tripoli, og helst litt flere, ha vært med i demonstrasjonen. Når du ser bildene fra Tripoli i dag, tror du det er sansynlig? At det ikke finnes noen i Tripoli som ikke støtter Gaddafi og alle sammen tar seg bryet med å stille opp i demonstrasjon? En annen ting, hvor er bildebevisene? Filmene? Regimet filmer jo stadig slike ting. Problemet er at når de filmer slike demonstrasjoner, så setter de kameravinkelen så lavt at det ikke ermulig å få et overblikk over det faktiske antallet mennesker. En ting til, om Gaddafi har mer enn 1 million støttespillere i Tripoli eller området, hvordan i all verden har opprørerne klart å ta Tripoli? Jeg sier ikke at alle i Tripoli støtter opprøerne eller at ingen støtter Gaddafi, men come on! 1 million mennesker hadde uten problemer klart å stoppe opprørernes inntog i byen. Det vi ser er jo at de tok byen langt lettere enn man hadde trodd, fordi de har møtt et ganske begrenset antall folk som støtter Gaddafi. Bildene Gaddafi tv viste av pro-Gaddafi demonstrasjoner den dagen Tripoli fallt viste forresten sånn ca 50 mennesker. Hvor ble det av resten av millionen?

Nå har jeg prøvd å være snill og grei i måten jeg svarer på, men nå tar jeg natta. Som sagt, du må ikke tro på meg, men jeg håper for din skyld at du i det minste tar deg bryet med å tenke gjennom eller sjekke opp holdbarheten i det jeg har skrevet om du er i tvil. Skulle du ha problemer med å finne kilder på noe av det jeg har skrevet, skrik ut, så skal jeg komme med dem senere i dag. God natt!

23.08 kl. 03:21 Opptredenen til Kadhafis sønn, Saif al-Islam, i natt, viser at opplysninger fra opprørerne ikke stemmer. De har hele tida hevdet at han har vært arrestert. Dette får flere til å stille spørsmålstegn også andre opplysninger oppprørslederne kommer med. (Dagbladet)

Intervjuet med journalisten og fredsaktivisten Susan Lindauer viser at situasjonen i Tripoli er mer kompleks og uavklart enn man kan få inntrykk av i denne tråden.

Dette var vel også påpekt ganske tidlig i tråden.

Siden du stempler den som interessant, så regner jeg med at du går god for innholdet?

Does not compute.

Her ber jeg altså deg om dokumentasjon på påstandene dine, og så kommer du bare med nok et eviglangt essay med dine egne, personlige synspunkter, ting du har lest på et forum eller googlet og lovnader om at det du sier er "100% sikkert". Jeg får vel bare takke for at du illustrerer poenget mitt.

Bab al-Azizia vakler..

En annen ting jeg stusser på er tallene på døde i NATO angrep, i følge din artikkel 1100 sivile. Her er greia, jeg har ikke hørt om eller kan ikke finne noen kilder som kan bekrefte et slikt tall.

Kilden til det tallet er Røde Halvmåne, som det står klart og tydelig i artikkelen.

1100 døde sivile er ikke et spesielt høyt tall. Hvis man sammenlikner med tilsvarende NATO- og USA-ledede operasjoner, er man heldig om man oppnår en 1:2 casualty ratio mellom stridende og sivile.

[Superbad]

Fra VG: 'Gaddafis palass plyndres nå'

Jeg stusser litt over ordbruken. "Plyndres"? Var ikke dette en kamp for frihet og demokrati og for å fjerne Gaddafi?

Videoen viser "opprørere" som tilsynelatende skyter mot et mål, mens sivile, biler, ambulanser og andre beveger seg uforstyrret i bakgrunnen. Samtidig filmes et noe fåfengt forsøk på å rive ned statuen som ble satt opp i 1986 etter amerikanerens mislykkede bombeangrep. HM.

Edit: Interessant det som skjer ved 1:20.

Endret 23. august 2011 av Superbad

[Gjest Gjest]

Som sagt, det er fortsatt ikke noe som er bekreftet. I går snakket Moussa Ibrahim om 1300 drepte på 11 timer, i dag har det kommet meldinger om 200 drepte sammenlagt siden 20 august. Det er en relativt stor forskjell, så det er like greit å vente med krisemaksimeringen til det faktisk kommer bekreftelser.

Over 20.000 mennesker er blitt drepte i borgerkrigen i Libya siden opprøret mot Gadafi startet i februar, sier Det nasjonale overgangsrådets leder, Mustafa Abdul Jalil.

http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/uriks/article4208253.ece

Det er et fryktelig høyt tall.

Ja, det er det og det er forferdelig trist. Både opprørerne og Gaddafis styrker har hatt store tap. Det kommer i tillegg til sivile. I det innlegget du siterte spekuleres det bare i tapet av sivile drept som en følge av NATOs angrep. Hvor mange Gaddafis styrker har drept er det ingen som vet sikkert. Men det er mange.. nå dukker det også opp mange uhyggelige meldinger, om hva Gaddafis styrker har bedrevet inne i Tripoli og, ikke minst, Abu Salim.

[Gjest Vampen]

Det dukker stadig opp innlegg på dette forumet som går fra å påstå at Gaddafi tross alt ikke er "så ille" til å nærmest mene at han er en grepa kar. Jeg tenkte derfor det kunne være nyttig med en tråd som tar for seg noe av hva denne mannen har bedrevet de siste 42 åra. Jeg ser også mange som sammenligner ham med Saddam Hussein, jeg har f. eks lest en artikkel av en som er imot opprøret i Libya og NATOs bidrag som argumenterer utifra at Gaddafi ikke er like ille som Saddam var og derfor ikke fortjener det. Jeg er sterkt uenig. Saddam var en ufyslig fyr, men han holdt stort sett djevelskapen sin til hjemlandet og umiddelbare naboer. Gaddafi har gjentatte ganger ikke bare bedrevet terror, men også gitt fusllstendig faen i lands suverenitet ved å begå rene henrettelser i andre land, som f. eks England, Italia og Tyskland. Alle de som mener at det er feil av oss å blande oss inn i det de mener er en borgerkrig, burde også ha det klart for seg at Gaddafi gjentatte ganger har gjort nettopp det, blandet seg inn i blodige borgerkriger og støttet flere tyranner som har bedrevet rene folkemord. Alt dette kommer i tillegg til det helvete han har utsatt sine egne for. Om man i det hele tatt er i tvil om at Gaddafi er blant de verste av de verste, så har man ikke fulgt med. Det finnes de diktatorer som stiller i samme klasse og har gjort mye av det samme og ting som er like ille, men det er ikke mange (noen?) som har hatt like lang tid til å bedrive faenskap.

Jeg har allerede nevnt en del av disse tingene i en annen tråd, men jeg tror en egen tråd kan være nyttig. Lista er så ufyslig lang at dere må unnskylde at jeg velger å lime inn fra en annen side. Skulle jeg ha skrevet alt selv hadde sittet her til i morgen tidlig. Siden det fortsatt er en del ubekrefta rundt hendelsene i forbindelse med opprøret, så har jeg valgt å ta bort en del ting fra opprøret som ikke er relativt sikkert eller bekreftet. Denne listen er heller ikke fullstendig, siden det er så mye å ta tak i, så tar den bare for seg de mest notoriske og kjente hendelsene.

Siden det finnes de her inne som har hatt sympatier for Gaddafi eller forsøkt å fremstille ham som mindre farlig enn mange hevder, så drister jeg meg også til å komme med noen spørsmål.

Da prøver jeg meg med et par spørsmål, med tanke på hva Gaddafi har gjort de siste 40+ åra, er det rart at verden valgt å ta truslene hans på alvor? Er det rart at man mente at han i høyeste grad var istand til sette i gang et rent helvete i Benghazi og at man ikke tok sjansen på å vente og se? Er det rart at libyerne ønsker å kaste ham? Er det noe i historien som tilsier at Gaddafi er en mann som kan snakkes i senk? Er det noe i fortiden som tilsier at han ikke er en fare for verden? Er det noen grunn til å tro at han virkelig hadde intensjoner om frie valg og våpenhvile? Er det rart at man krevde handling, ikke bare ord, for å avblåse aksjonen?

God lesing!

Den virkelige testen for opprørerene er hvordan de vil behandle de som støttet Gaddafi etter at borgerkrigen er over.

[Spiralis]

Kjære Vampen! Det siste innelgget ditt var i det lengste laget!

De som glorifiserer han kommer uansett ikke til å høre på argumenter som avviker fra det de allerede er overbevist om.

Den virkelige testen for opprørerene er hvordan de vil behandle de som støttet Gaddafi etter at borgerkrigen er over.

Forsoning, basisfunksjoner og rettferdighet. Ikke hevn! Det er prøvesteinen for opprørerne. Svært viktig å få inn medisinske forsyninger og mannskaper til Tripoli, sikre at sub-afrikanske fremmedarbeidere ikke blir utsatt for overgrep. Her må Norge stille opp med like mye resurser som vi gjorde med jagerfly. Norge kan bidra med kompetanse i demokrati, til å utvikle oljeindustrien og å opprtette et oljefond som tilgodekommer hele det Libyske folket.
