“… to protect the Libyan population and reaffirming that parties to armed conflicts bear the primary responsibility to take all feasible steps to ensure the protection for civilians.”The UN mandate preciously set out for “…to ensure the protection for civilians”. You sitting there with your jostle fingers type of few wording “ French armed the rebels… this against the UN resolution etc…” that is wrong I dare say. How the civilian protect themselves without any weapon or no money to buy any weapon at all. They raised spontaneously to protect themselves pro-Gaddafi attack. Some of haunting heart breaking pictures video clips, make you tears tears and break your heart with the civilian incredible afford to fight back gaddafi’s solders mess attack without weapons, top of their mates’ dead bodies, foot stepping their mates’ blood that was unbelievable. Have a look the streets and buildings all these bullet holes holes wounds, cemeteries of Libya and her people in refugee camps. Then you know how to justified what is wrong what is right. The goodness prevail. You can interprets the French arming the rebel in many ways which side you are. But as long as the rebels concern that is their windfall from the sky because they desperately needed the weapons for protecting their families their homes their towns from gaddafis’ attack. Many ways you can protect the civilian, all but your own individual interpretation as long as the UN mandated permit, e.g recognition of the NTC, humanitarian money donations, unfreezing the seized money to the NTC, and killing Gaddafi also another and arming the rebel definitely too. The French arming the rebels was part of the UN mandate permits. I respect the French’ action and part of the UN Resolution protecting the civilian.

The French military spokesperson said France had become aware in early June that rebel-held villages had come under pressure from loyalist forces.
"We began by dropping humanitarian aid: food, water and medical supplies," he told the AFP news agency.
"During the operation, the situation for the civilians on the ground worsened. We dropped arms and means of self-defence, mainly ammunition."
Burkhard described the arms as "light infantry weapons of the rifle type" and said the drops were carried out over several days "so that civilians would not be massacred".
“… to protect the Libyan population and reaffirming that parties to armed conflicts bear the primary responsibility to take all feasible steps to ensure the protection for civilians.”Thank French very much the wise judgment. so there!

LONDON, June 28 (Reuters) - A British-led team planning for a post-conflict Libya has recommended that Muammar Gaddafi's security forces should be left largely intact after a rebel victory, avoiding an error made after the Iraq war, a minister said on Tuesday. …Imagine, what the world have seen what the Libyan have been through this atrocity. Deep suspicion and bloody vengeance all can understandable, if the world ask them forgive and forget all the atrocity and suffering they have been through that would be unfair. You would never know what their feeling unless you go through yourself; their loved ones never see their face again, they have been tortured, their houses their towns cities their business have been destroy and they had to fleet from their nests to wild field and another countries…etc. But The Rebel also have to thinking painfully- in their heads not their hearts in here- the higher noble purpose they set out they fight for “free democracy Libya, and they paid for heavy price for it so not let their country midst of another chaos ruinous - all of this is Gaddafi to blame allied by few of his inner circle of people. Professional solders are follow orders, they have not much option but kill to whoever they are told to kill. Police also follow their orders whoever told them to protect they protect. In a civil democracy society the solders job is killing enemy, the enemy is whoever threatening the nation’s security and police job is maintains civil order and protecting civilians from unlawfulness. Civilians very fond of them both and respect them, feel secure when we see them around that is one of fundamental of a civil society. You know then what is wrong in Libya. the Libyan solders were killing their own people and police is harming civilians by Gaddafi’s orders. They follow orders, not much they can do. So when Gaddafi finishes they have to listen the Libyan people.
On the Libyan security forces, "the lesson is not to make the mistake that was made in Iraq," Mitchell told a news conference.
"One of the first things that should happen once Tripoli falls is that someone should get on the phone to the former Tripoli chief of police and tell him he's got a job and he needs to ensure the safety and security of the people of Tripoli," he said.

US Admiral Samuel Locklear, NATO’s joint operations chief in Naples, is not a man who minces his words when defining his mission in Libya.
…
It is a definition that confirms China and Russia’s worst fears and has strengthened their determination to thwart any US or European attempt to embark on a repeat performance in Syria or anywhere else in the Middle East and North Africa.
…
Admiral Locklear’s mission, he says unambiguously, is to kill Libyan leader Col. Muammar Qaddafi. He also believes that NATO will have to put troops on the ground in Libya to restore stability once his goal has been achieved.
…
As far as Admiral Locklear is concerned, that UN mandate authorizes the killing of Mr. Qaddafi.
“The UN authorization had three components: blockade, no fly zone, and civil protection. And Admiral Locklear explained that the scope of civil protection was being interpreted to permit the removal of the chain of command of Qaddafi’s military, which includes Qaddafi,” The Cable said. “He said that currently is the mission as NATO has defined.”

Already, the rebels say, they are in contact with apolitical or disaffected officials in the Tripoli police force, the Interior Ministry and other government departments to make plans to secure the city in the days after a potential ouster of Colonel Qaddafi. “In every ministry of the government we have people who will be going to their offices in the days after Qaddafi falls, so the government will not collapse,” Mr. Fekini said.
“A few thousand men with guns can’t control two million people,” he said.
... “We need help in two directions: for NATO to change its attack technique, and also we should get better weapons,” Fathi Bashaga, a rebel spokesman, said late yesterday. “I am asking the UN and NATO to allow us to buy the equipment and weapons because now we are in a difficult situation.”

Gaddafi’s pink peep show- Gaddafi, a leading man lead by examples- the truth is I am not telling lie because that is only I know and know how to tell, nothing else what else I can tell? Thus I am the most desirable man in the world! Gaddafi says....To sojourn inis to travel deep into a world of illusionism and deceit. This is a world where much of the evidence available to an outsider suggests that Colonel Qaddafi, the “Brother Leader” and “Revolutionary Guide,” has led his followers into a narrowing cul-de-sac; where few if any with access to the colonel, by their own accounts, seem ready even to whisper that the game may be up; a world where a battalion of official spokesmen, inured to a lifetime of wrenching reality into the shapes commanded by propaganda, seem intent on turning truth on its head — a world, in short, where a leader beset by a murderous civil war thinks it normal to spend his Sunday afternoon playing chess.

Americans will support a President who makes the case for military force based on American interests and values. In Libya, that means deposing Gadhafi and his henchmen so that his regime doesn't survive as a vindictive supporter of global terrorism; to show that the U.S. will stand for Arab freedom when it has the means to make a difference and can do so at reasonable cost; and now that NATO and the U.S. are implicated, to show that both can't be defeated by a crackpot authoritarian and his ruthless sons...
It would be hugely costly — for this country’s credibility, for the future of NATO and for the people of Libya — if Congress were to force President Obama to abandon military operations over Libya. However, Mr. Obama cannot evade his responsibility, under the War Powers Act, to seek Congressional approval to continue the operation.We support the Libya campaign, although like many Americans we are frustrated that it has dragged on this long. We are eager to hear from the president about what additional nonmilitary pressures he is rallying to finally end Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s murderous reign.
…
…
If Washington were to cut off its support now, the NATO campaign would unravel. The cost to relations with Europe and the unity of the military alliance would be enormous — likely felt all the way to Afghanistan.
…
Partisan brinkmanship or not, Mr. Obama doesn’t have a choice. He needs to go to Congress and make his case. Congress then needs to authorize continued American support for NATO’s air campaign over Libya.
