Yes, Freeper Fred Nerks and I have been decrying the war in Libya from the get go. The utter destruction of an entire nation based on liberal fascism/political correctness.
Fred and I had been castigated by Freepers for years about
siding with Quadaffi, the so called “terrorist dictator”, even people here on Free Republic had bought the leftist propaganda about Quadaffi, who was an American Ally, one who fought Jihadhi recruiters without cessation.Now Libya is in ruin, Tripoli in rubble, and the jihadhis formerly fought off by Quadaffi have migrated into Central Africa, and further, killing and pillaging in the name of Allah.
You bet the MSM won’t publish it.
Few people know that the greatest hydrology project( Desert Aquifer Project, Greening of Libya’s Southern Desert) in the world was destroyed, a whole civilization wiped out. The MSM has failed and refused to report on such “collateral damage.”

NATO bombed it,thereby relegating hundreds of thousands of people to choose death by thirst and starvation or to save thenselves by submittingto the jihad for water, one of the most nefarious war crimes of the modern era, but nary a report on it from the liberal fascist supporting MSM, the dirty effers ( see below) :

Horrid!
Obama and Clinton need to wear this big time.Millions have died because of what Obama and Hillary did in Libya.And they ran a grift on NATO to bring it about.
Trump is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
The talking heads are shivering even on Fox News as they have borderline seizures about what Trump said, “ Obama and Hillary Created the Rise of ISIS.”
I’d say that Trump has the MSM right where he wants them.
**************************************
NATO bombs the Great Man-Made River
It is a war crime to attack essential civilian infrastructure. 95% of Libya is desert and 70% of Libyans depend on water which is piped in from the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System under the southern desert. The water pipe infrastructure is probably the most essential civilian infrastructure in Libya. Key to its continued function, particularly in time of war, is the Brega pipe factory which enables leaks and breaks in the system to be repaired.
NATO has admitted that its jets attacked the pipe factory on 22 July, claiming in justification that it was used as a military storage facility and rockets were launched from there.
The Great Man-Made River
Libyans like to call the Great Man-Made River “The eighth wonder of the world”.
According to a March 2006 report by the BBC the industrialisation of Libya following the Great Al-Fatah Revolution in 1969, put strain on water supplies and coastal aquifers became contaminated with sea water, to such an extent that the water in Benghazi was undrinkable. Finding a supply of fresh, clean water became a government priority and fortunately oil exploration in the 1950s had revealed vast aquifers beneath Libya’s southern desert.
In August 1984, Muammar Al Qadhafi laid the foundation stone for the pipe production plant at Brega. The Great Man-Made River Project had begun. Adam Kuwairi, a senior figure in the Great Man-Made River Authority (GMRA), vividly remembers the impact the fresh water had on him and his family:
“The water changed lives. For the first time in our history, there was water in the tap for washing, shaving and showering. The quality of life is better now, and it’s impacting on the whole country.”
On 3 April Libya warned that NATO-led air strikes could cause a “human and environmental disaster” if air strikes damaged the Great Man-Made River project.
Engineer and project manager Abdelmajid Gahoud told foreign journalists in Tripoli:
“If part of the infrastructure is damaged, the whole thing is affected and the massive escape of water could cause a catastrophe,” leaving 4.5 million thirsty Libyans deprived of drinking water.
The Brega Pipe-Making Plant
The Pre-Stressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe Factory at Brega is one of only two such facilities in Libya – the other being at Sarir to the east. This makes it a very important component of the Great Man-Made River – with two production lines making up to 80 pipes a day.
According to the BBC:
The engineer in charge of the Brega pipe factory is Ali Ibrahim. He is proud that Libyans are now running the factory:
“At first, we had to rely on foreign-owned companies to do the work. But now it’s government policy to involve Libyans in the project. Libyans are gaining experience and know-how, and now more than 70% of the manufacturing is done by Libyans. With time, we hope we can decrease the foreign percentage from 30% to 10%.”
As a result, Libya is now a world leader in hydrological engineering and it wants to export its expertise to other African and Middle-Eastern countries facing similar problems with their water.
According to the official web site of the Great Man-Made River Authority:
Approximately 500,000 pre-stressed concrete cylinder pipes have been manufactured to date. Approximately 500,000 pipes transported to date. Pipe transportation is continuous process and the work goes on day and night, distance traveled by the transporters is equivalent to the sun and back. Over 3,700 km of haul roads was constructed alongside the pipe line trench to enable the heavy truck – trailers to deliver pipe to the installation site.
NATO Attack
On 22 July NATO warplanes attacked the pipe making plant at Brega killing six of the facility’s security guards.

There was no mistake about this, the bombing was done to destroy the repair capacity of the pipeline at the Brega Plant, there were no arms present there, no military, it was a civilian facility. This was a genuine war crime perpetrated by Obama and Hillary in conjunction with NATO, and the policies of Liberal Fascism.
And it was the greatest singular act to contribute to the creation of ISIS.
Props to you and Fred, definitely.
And let’s not forget that after Quadaffi witnessed the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, that he made direct contact with the U.S. and the U.K. and offered to turn HIS nuclear weapons program over to them, and the components of the Libyan WMD are safely (we hope) secured at Oak Ridge Tennessee to this very day.
Quadaffi was seeking to reintegrate his nation with world society, but Secretary Cankles cackled “we came, we saw, he DIED!!”
In a perfect world, one day she’ll suffer the same fate as Ambassador Chris Stevens.
Bumping re the history of Isis and how it was helped by Obama/Clinton.
It is a war crime to attack essential civilian infrastructure. 95% of Libya is desert and 70% of Libyans depend on water which is piped in from the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System under the southern desert. The water pipe infrastructure is probably the most essential civilian infrastructure in Libya. Key to its continued function, particularly in time of war, is the Brega pipe factory which enables leaks and breaks in the system to be repaired.
And yet, President Obama could not bring himself to attack ISIS Jihadi caught in the act of committing genocide and crimes against humanity and the worst forms of atrocity imaginable against the people they conquered or to bomb ISIS oil convoys lined up like toy ducks in shooting gallery in the barren desert because of the “risk of collateral damage”
Obama's excuses for letting ISIS run wild and unchecked ring hollow when put in light of of the literal war crimes he is responsible for in Libya, when the motto of Hillary's "Operation Zero Foot Print" was "Just Win, Baby"
As Hillary so gleefully put it, " We came, we saw, he died" . So did a couple of hundred thousand other innocent people.
Libya is now an ISIS infested nightmare, and for what and why?
To this day, we have yet to be given a legitimate reason for going to war with Libya and we never will be.
The reason we went to war in Libya was George Soros, The Muslim Brotherhood , Saudi Arabia, Qatar and various billionaires and members of the Global Elite.
PING!!!
