I can’t believe it. The “Bosnia blueprint” is followed with such meticulous care they now the US propaganda machine has even produced this:
The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor says there is evidence that Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi ordered the rape of hundreds of women as a weapon against rebel forces. [The ICC is now looking at] possible evidence that pro-Gaddafi security forces had been given medication such as Viagra to enhance their sex drive
I am just left speechless. How can ANYBODY not see that what is taking place is a Bosnia Redux of the worst possible kind?!
Is the world really going to swallow this garbage AGAIN?!
All we need now before the full invasion Libya is a “Libyan Srebrenica” or a “Libyan Racak”. An occupation of Misrata by government forces maybe? Or a bomb in a market Benghazi?
PS: here is al-Jazeera’s rendering of this “Bosnian atrocity” :
Some of the left did see through the propaganda.

It’s clear Gaddafi is going to be toppled and replaced by a bunch of puppets. Sadly Russia and China didn’t veto the UN resolution as they should have done.
I hoped the Russia Georgia war would lead to a global check on the US but it looks like in exchange for having a free hand in its near abroad Russia has agreed not to challenge the Empire anywhere else.
This Al Jazeera video strikes me as one of the more extreme examples of fake propaganda we’ve been subjected to by mass media warmongers. The idea that young men fit enough for military service would need Viagra, or that rapists would bother with a condom, is absurd. The evidence? The word of a doctor who allegedly discovered condoms and Viagra on two soldiers, which can only mean Qaddafi is issuing “rape kits” to his men.
That anyone finds this credible beggars belief.
This amounts to about the same degree of evidence for rape as a weapon of war as the evidence for WMDs in Iraq, which is not much.
How can it be US propaganda when it is Qatar that is promoting and instigating unrest in the Mid East?

Qatar was the most prominent supporter of international terrorism other than Saudi Arabia through its state charity Qatar Charitable Society in Sudan, Bosnia and Chechnya.
Sorry I thought the post was about the Al Jazeera report not the BBC one.
Here are videos in reference to what VS was talking about in reagrds to Bosnia.
