NATO Accuses Ghaddafi Of Using Human Shields

There is  nothing surer than this is a precursor for significant civilian casualties about to be caused by NATO. The miserable excuse they have used for years in relation to the massive civilian death toll they have caused in Afghanistan has been exactly this. If you bomb civilians in built-up areas (NATO like to say 'compounds' because that doesn't sound like 'houses') in countries where you have no business this is what happens. Watch out for a massive ramp-up of the NATO bombing in the next few weeks. Two principal reasons:
-   Obama doesn't want Ghaddafi to be his Osama (see Dubya legacy)
-   The continued failure to define a purpose or achieve a goal, whatever both may be in Libya, is embarrassing to Obama, Sarkozy and Cameron in that pecking order.


Still, when the failure continues into months if not years at least Obama can blame the Europeans. But the blood will be on all their hands.
