Libyan Rebels Desecrate British War Graves

[Kreutz]

Now, this isnt the sort of thing that usually gets my ire, but once again we (i.e. Obama and NATO this time) toppled a strongman so his people can be "free".

Of course, like Iraq, it turns out the people whose genitals he had hooked to a car battery actually turned out to be violent psychos. Go figure.

Libyan rebels, freed from the regime of Colonel Gaddafi, have been captured on film smashing the graves of more than 150 British soldiers killed in North Africa during the Second World War.

In the videos posted online, headstones marking the final resting place of the famous Desert Rats in the Benghazi War Cemetery were torn down and crucifixes attacked with hammers.

More than 1,000 soldiers from the 7th Armoured Division were buried there after serving in the battle for control of Libya and Egypt between 1941 and 1943.

The thing is, I can't help but wonder if, like Iraq, this is just the prelude to when living Christians, jews, and "miscellaneous" start getting shot and blown up by their newly freed Muslim fundamentalist overlords while the previous secular dictatorship kept the non-Muslim minorities safe.

If anything this only reinforces the need for an isolationist foreign policy. Figured I'd share this since I haven't heard about it anywhere else.

"If anything this only reinforces the need for an isolationist foreign policy. Figured I'd share this since I haven't heard about it anywhere else."

The "arab spring" has turned into the brotherhood winter.
Ignoring it only invites another 9-11.

Evil exists. Wherever it exists it will seek to overcome and defeat good.
Hiding from the play ground bully never works. Neither does isolationism.

BIN JAWWAD, Libya (AP) – Libyan government officials said Sunday they have unearthed a mass grave with 157 bodies of rebel fighters and civilians in an eastern town that was a major battleground during the country's 2011 civil war.

Was this prefferable to you?

Make no mistake Obama flubbed the mission..."days not weeks" but sometimes evil must be met and stopped. Even if it means miscreants desecrate graves.

First they came for the British war dead and I said nothing since I was a living Coptic Christian?

Its worth noting dead rebel fighters are valid targets since they were presumably engaged in armed resistance against their government (evil or not it has the right to fight back as much as the rebels have the right to overthrow it).

Shame about the civs though, but, they always lose when bullets and shells start flying unfortunately.

Far as I'm concerned there isn't a grave or "holy book" on the planet that's worth a human life....

Kinda separates right from wrong you know...

Separates a modern civil society for one stuck in the dark ages too!

Ugh, don't say sensible things. Its out of character and agreeing with you makes my skin crawl.

Stick to the Obummer zombie and jilted lover stalking me schtick.

Means I read mach schnell. When your job involves reading and you're being paid by the piece, its the key to making good $. Can't miss a word either and half of it is in doctor scribbles.

Edit: Fell for the seduction my elderly would be gay lover laid out and let him bait me into making this about myself, his favorite subject. Much apologies.

"Hyper-literate"= self inflating over educated jerk.
The only thing seducing you youngun is your inflated ego and false superiority complex.

No wonder you idolize the liar in chief!

Obviously that clerical menial labour is driving you to mooncalf hell.

How bout we replace our dictator and see if it gets better....
At the polls of course.

Setting aside the hyper literate chat.

It is despicable to desecrate a cemetery. However, I expect no less from these uncivilized ding bats that riot and kill people over a book being burned. Just because they have the self control of toddlers does not mean that we should do the same. No book, no grave stones are more sacred than human life. I think the honored dead in those cemeteries would agree.

That said, they got an apology for the book burning, where is our apology for your citizens killing our people sent there to help you. if they want our help to keep them from being ruled over by the Taliban/Kaddafi and to be part of the civilized world them they need to learn to control themselves even in anger.

To be perfectly clear I was addressing kurtzs' illusion to the removal of Qudafi from Lybia being the "blame America first" reason the desecrations there are happening. My post was to point out the issue was just another straw man of the looney left unless he considered it happening in the USA also.

I agree with you 100% mamabear!

The taliban and other radical islamic groups seem to prove over and over again that they inhabit some dark ages hell. Not a good face to show the civilized world if they are intent on becoming respected members of modern civilization.

You expect better behavior from murdering barbarians?

The problem is though, when our governments pick a "good side".

When Bush backed the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan, they were not the "good guys". They were only a slightly different brand of crazy than the Taliban. The atrocities they committed didn't get reported on (because they were the GOOD GUYS!), but Google Northern Alliance atrocities, and see what they got up to when we enabled them.

This is playing out again in Libya, Obamas pet "export democracy" project. The first things these cats did was declare Sharia the law of the land. The violence against religious minorities will commence shortly...they didn't even wait to start the ethnic cleansing; Libyans of black African ancestry were slaughtered en masse by the rebels during the initial hostilities.

Its weird since the Syrian rebels, who actually seem like the kind of people we'd want to support (in that so far they seem less religious militants as opposed to genuinely oppressed people) get...what, a strongly worded letter from the State Dept to the UN and the dude ordering them shelled?

If people weren't dying as a result of our ham-fisted foreign intervention it'd be funny its all so ridiculous.

[ratherfish]

So many fewer would have died had we not intervened right?
Until these people leave the dark ages they are not fit for a place in the civilized world.

The arab spring gave way to the arab winter...And the Muslem Brotherhood seized it's chance to further radical Islam and murder "infadels".

It is all about destabilizing the region. For what gain, I am not sure of yet. Oil seems to be the most obvious reason, under the guise of "spreading democracy". "Spreading democracy" seems like a good cover, because if we were sending our kids to die for oil, well that make some of the sheeple mad. But sending our boys to die for democracy is equally bad in my opinion. If this country should be spreading anything abroad, it should be the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Don't get me wrong, I love our military. My gramps was a Marine in the pacific in ww2 and there is a lot of my families blood in this fine Virginia soil. I just hate seeing our boys lives and futures wasted for... murdering barbarians. Its like casting our pearls before swine.

yeah but don't you think its weird we never seem to get the oil?

The fact that no one seems to want democracy is telling. As soon as they get it they form tribal juntas or the old kleptocracy is just resurrected under new management.

If this country should be spreading anything abroad, it should be the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In the past I would have scoffed at that, now, I'm not so sure.
