The military targeting of civilian infrastructure, especially of water supplies, is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. Yet this is precisely what NATO did in Libya, while blaming the damage on Gaddafi himself. Since then, the country's water infrastructure - and the suffering of its people - has only deteriorated further.
Numerous reports comment on the water crisis that is escalating across Libya as consumption outpaces production. Some have noted the environmental context in regional water scarcity due to climate change.
But what they ignore is the fact that the complex national irrigation system that had been carefully built and maintained over decades to overcome this problem was targeted and disrupted by NATO.
During the 2011 military invasion, press reports surfaced, mostly citing pro-rebel sources, claiming that pro-Gaddafi loyalists had shut down the water supply system as a mechanism to win the war and punish civilians.

And Bill Clinton’s terror bombing of Serbia wasn’t a war crime?
Well, but Obama had to help the terrorists. Never mind that it was the wrong war fought on the wrong side and never legally declared.
Add that to Hillary and Barry’s list: assassinated leader of country, loot gold from their central bank, turn control of Libyas oil over to God knows who, create a failed state, promote jihad, leave Americans to be murdered - and blame it all on a video
“And Bill Clintons terror bombing of Serbia wasnt a war crime?”
What has Bill Clinton got to do with this story?
what a sick bunch. and to think she even has the audacity to run for president.
she should be bunkered up somewhere trying to avoid prison .
Does this mean to say that the Libians and or terrorists don’t have the know-how or will to repair their own infrastructure?
Bill is married to Hillary who appears to be running for the presidency? They both share the same last name? They both share a total disregard for the law, truth, morality, etc... Their failed criminal policies cost innocent people their lives.
How's that for starters?
The USA does this right off the bat. Also electric grid. #1 it knocks them out, #2 it provides a (campaign contributor) contractor job to replace it after the war.
But that only “works” when we win it.
Damn right Clinton did it and so did GHW Bush
It really POs me whenever we do this crap
NATO is just as big a disaster as the UN.
He was the last President prior to Obama — who openly sided with the Muslim jihad against the Christian world.
Islam’s war against civilization was well under way when Clinton bombed civilian bridges, power plants and commuter trains in Serbia. The war continues to this day thanks in no small part due to Clinton’s unwillingness to pursue the forces behind the attack on the World Trade Center — the 1993 attack — and his negligence in failing to enforce the terms of the cease fire which ended the First Gulf War.
His notorious “wife” has bloodied her hands yet again, this time in the corpses of Americans abandoned to die in Benghazi, and the global chaos which grew exponentially during her time of drunken stupor as “Secretary of State”
Because all I can remember is the US interfering in an internal conflict. But that can't be right...a Nobel Peace Prize-winning president would never authorize such a thing.
Civilian infrastructure.
Kinda like the twin towers in NYC.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah.
NATO, Europe, The West, Christian’s fault.
Hey! How about those two Armies fighting back and forth? Maybe you (Libya) could get some help if you curbed the hate.
...at this point, what difference does it make?
We came, we saw, we messed 'em up good!
Bill Clinton knows Jerry Brown. Jerry is responsible for the destruction of the California water system. Therefore California must be Libya.
fl
are you defending O’bummer?
Or
If you want to discuss the Clinton’s crimes - start a new thread? or dozens - there’s enough to cover without diverting the subject of this thread?...
Wrong target. Bomb the people till they decide to fight for their right to breath free air.
