Even if Gaddafi is killed, NATO will not leave – ex-Belgian MP

Regime change is the real reason NATO is in Libya, Lode Vanoost, international consultant and former deputy speaker of the Belgian Parliament told RT. Even if Gaddafi is ousted, murdered or flees the country, NATO forces will not leave right away.
According to Vanoost, there are more serious problems with the resolutions than it was possible to originally discern.
“The problem with resolutions is that they are not legal texts. Basically the interpretation of resolutions is a matter of ideology and power. France interpreted it the way they did just because they could! One shouldn’t forget they drafted these resolutions themselves. It just suits their interests,” stated Vanoost.
He also said a land operation could be interpreted as one means to protect civilians under the UN resolution.
“I am sure this is already on the table as a plan. But thankfully behind the scenes the NATO member countries are not of the same opinion on the issue, they cover it up. But basically one of the problems NATO has is its members don’t agree with each other. And that’s the only hope we have”.
“France and the UK for example have been saying long before the resolution that regime change is the issue. They are not going to change their mind all of a sudden. They want to take control over Libya,” explained Vanoost.

US government is like “Alice in Wonderland” - expertThe US Civil Liberties Union is debating with the Department of State over the release of classified documents on the US war on terror. But as Alison Weir, president of the Council for the National Interest told, RT, it is absurd to keep them classified. |

Well western govts assume all its subjects in the west are mentally retarded.This present nato attacks are for what,not regime change? Where do they find our imbeciles in western govts from?.Libya and Gadafi have been in power for decades and decades.When did libya become a threat to its own people?.Or a threat to our way of life.Anyway our politicans have ready made jobs lined up,either hollywood comediens, or Actors.So they can continue entertaining us with they ignorance and garbage.Anyway probably the new libyan leaders at present are being groomed in the west, on how to be con men, and open bank accts in the west.
