BCP spokesman Dale Roberts said in two Libyan visits:
"I have seen and witnessed the effects of bombing on civilians. This has included schools, hospitals, infrastructure and civilian areas," unrelated to military sites.
Roberts added that UK and Western media suppress truths because:
"European public opinion is against a war that was not debated in Parliament, even in my country, Great Britain," adding:
"One of the main reasons why" UN Resolution 1973 passed was because "Libya was being blamed and made responsible for attacks on unarmed civilians. They are false. We visited the areas in Tripoli (the UN Resolution) cited....and it is clear that these areas were not attacked."
Like all US-led wars, lies facilitate terror bombing Libya. They include baseless allegations, claiming despots massacre civilians or threaten neighboring states with WMDs to stoke fear and enlist popular support.
In his book "War is a Lie," David Swanson explains "common themes in the war lying business, lies that keep coming back like zombies that just won't die." And no matter how often they're later exposed, they're used again effectively because major media managed news repeat them, knowing they're spurious but do it anyway complicit with state crimes.
Except in self-defense, wars aren't ever justified, legitimate or legal, especially America's, the only global superpower facing no external threats, so manufactured ones assure more conflict for imperial expansion and unchallenged dominance, no matter the body count to achieve it.
