Christopher Dickey, Paris bureau chief of Newsweek, i.e., pal of the CIA, was just on MSNBC. His voice dripping with arrogance—and I only saw a few moments of his interview—he said that, of course, there would be civilian casualties in Libya, but to talk about them was just to aid the “Arab theater of war.” Neocon and friend of the CIA Michael O’Hanlon of Brookings then condemned any talk of civilian casualties, especially by the Arab League, which must be “walked back” so no other comments are made. Here’s what is happening. The Arab world, very different from the Saudi-run Arab League, is outraged over the attack on Libya, and the Sauds, etc. are feeling the pressure for having joined with the anti-Arab, anti-Muslim US in killing even more Arab Muslims. But, but, isn’t Gaddafi a monster? Of course. He is a head of state. But the US no-fly, no-drive, no-walk zone has turned attention to Obama, who has killed vastly more civilians than Gaddafi.
