Some more news on Libya


Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr, reporting from the eastern Libyan stronghold of Benghazi, said opposition leaders have dismissed the AU proposal.

"What they would like to see the starting point is for Gaddafi to pull back his forces, for his forces to return to the military barracks, as well as for Gaddafi to release the scores of prisoners that they are holding," she said.

"For them, there is no solution to this conflict unless Gaddafi actually leaves office [and] leaves power."

The AU keeps trying to create a ceasefire and keeps failing.They cant seem to accept the fact that Gaddafi simply wont leave power

This will kick of WW3. If Turkey decides to put tanks on the burker, get to the bunkers because I doubt it will be long before the nukes get launched.

LIBYA
The ICC has filled arrest warrants for Muammar Gaddafi, his son Saif al-Islam, and his intelligence chief Abdullah Senussi. This marks only the second time that a head of state has been indicted by the ICC, putting Gaddafi at the same level as Omar al-Bashir(from the Sudan)

NATO has said the Rebels now have the true upper hand in the war.


YEMEN
Ahmed Saleh, the son of president Ali Abdullah Saleh and commander of the elite Republican Guards, have voiced support Sunday for efforts spearheaded by the opposition a to find a solution to the nation's political turmoil

SYRIA
France has said Assad has reached the 'point of no return'

About 400 Syrians have left Turkey to try and go home. Turkey continues to invite any and all Syrian Refugees to the safety of the Turkish boarder.

200 opposition leaders have met in Damascus, Assad hails it as the beginning of change, however, the opposition members say it is just a publicity stunt for Assad as many of the larger leaders are absent due to being forced out of the county, or imprisoned.

Groups of Iraqi sovereigns gathered today to ask for International intervention in Syria.

Syria has said that the Government will talk with the opposition conglomerate on July 10th(looks like war will be put off at least that long)

more at NATO as a whole.

Surprisingly (no offence intended) The US is staying on the sidelines of most of this. It's Britain, France and Canada being super aggressive in Libya, The US maintaining its presence in Yemen, and Turkey and Canada threatening action in Syria.

The Russians and the Chinese are looking at NATO as trying to destroy Russian and Chinese assets in the middle east.

Gotta love how its 2 of the big boys of Europe and Britains baby being the big guys in the east. Takes the lime light off the US for a change and shows we still have what it takes to make a difference.

And nice to see Iraq asking for western intervention why is it everyone can see syria needs help except for Iran, Russia ( kinda ) and china?
It's also good for the Americans. While what they try to do in the world is usually for good reasons, they get a bad rap for it. It's about time they get seen as the guys who are holding back and thinking things through, it's good for their image.
