Ex-CIA chief: Kadhafi was good partner

(AFP) – 13 hours ago

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland — The former chief of the CIA on Tuesday praised Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi's past cooperation and said his downfall could complicate US interests in the short term.
Retired general Michael Hayden, who led the Central Intelligence Agency from 2006 to 2009 under president George W. Bush, said that restive Syria also helped US intelligence but only in selective areas.
Speaking at a conference of the Marine Corps University, Hayden said the CIA had worked well with Kadhafi and Mussa Kussa, the foreign minister who defected last month as Libyan forces moved against rebels.
"Whatever you think of Kadhafi and Mussa Kussa... they were good and they were good counter-terrorism partners," Hayden told the conference near Washington.

BN Batu Kawah mahu Khairy, Gan hormati ‘keunikan politik’ Sarawak

 

Posted on April 26, 2011, Tuesday

KUCHING: Pemimpin parti komponen Barisan Nasional (BN) negeri di Batu Kawah mahu Ketua Pemuda UMNO, Khairy Jamaluddin dan Naib Presiden MCA, Senator Gan Ping Sieu menghormati ‘keunikan politik’ Sarawak.
Dalam kenyataan akhbar bersama oleh Tan Joo Phoi daripada Parti Rakyat Bersatu Sarawak (SUPP), Dato Ahmad Ibrahim dari Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), Kapten (B) Zainuddin Tan Sri Hamdan dari Parti Progresif Demokratik Sarawak (SPDP) dan Lau Ting Ping dari Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS), mengecam kenyataan Khairy dan Gan kerana mendesak Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud meletak jawatan sebagai ketua menteri.
Ahmad yang bertindak sebagai jurucakap berkata mereka sebagai ahli parti BN Negeri Sarawak berasa terhina dengan kenyataan Gan dan Khairy itu.
“Kita mahu jelaskan kepada rakyat Malaysia, nasib politik rakyat Sarawak akan ditentukan dan milik rakyat Sarawak bukannya orang luar. Sila hormati landasan politik kami kerana mahu mengekalkannya seperti itu,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan akhbar semalam.
Beliau turut mengatakan rakyat Sarawak telah membuat keputusan dalam pilihan raya negeri yang baru selesai iaitu kepimpinan Taib masih diperlukan.
“Bila Pehin Sri mahu bersara, semua itu terpulang kepadanya. Beliau sudah mendapat mandat daripada rakyat untuk terus memerintah.
“Kita berharap Gan dan Khairy menarik balik kenyataan mereka dan memohon maaf tidak hanya kepada ketua menteri tetapi semua rakyat Sarawak kerana tidak sensitif, jahil dan bertindak di luar batasan,” ujarnya.

Libya and the Imperial Re-Division of Africa

by Mahdi Darius NazemroayaPART I

Plans to attack Libya have been longstanding. The imperial war machine of the United States, Britain, France, Italy, and their NATO allies is involved in a new military adventure that parallel the events that led to the wars against Yugoslavia and Iraq. The war machine has been mobilized under the cover of “humanitarian intervention.”

In fact what the Pentagon and NATO have done is breach international law by intervening on the side of one of the combating parties in Libya in a civil war that they themselves have encouraged and fuelled. They have not protected civilians, but have launched a war against the Libyan regime in Tripoli and actively assisted the Benghazi-based Transitional Council in fighting the Libyan military.

Before the rapprochement with Colonel Qaddafi, for years the U.S., Britain, France, and their allies worked to destabilize Libya. Confirmed by U.S. government sources, Washington attempted regime change in Tripoli several times.[1] According to General Wesley Clark, former NATO commander, the Pentagon had active plans for launching a war against Libya.

The U.S. and its NATO allies are now embroiled in a new war that has the patented characteristics of the wars and invasions of Iraq and the former Yugoslavia.

A large naval armada off the shores of Libya has been bombing Libya for weeks with the declared objective of ousting the Libyan regime. At the same time, Libyan internal divisions are being fuelled.

Misinformation is systematically being spewed. Like Saddam Hussein before him, the U.S. and the E.U. have armed and helped Colonel Qaddafi. It is, therefore, important to hold the U.S. and the E.U. accountable for these weapon sales and the training of Libyan forces.

Also, like in Iraq, another Arab dictator was befriended by the U.S., only to be subsequently betrayed.

Prior to Iraq’s rapprochement with the U.S., at the outset of the Iraq-Iran War, Saddam Hussein was a Soviet ally and considered an enemy by Washington.

The case of Colonel Qaddafi is in many regards similar. Ironically, Qaddafi had warned Arab leaders in 2008 at a meeting in Damascus under the auspices of the Arab League about regime change., He pointed to the U.S. government’s “bad habit” of betraying its Arab dictator friends: 

Why won’t the [U.N.] Security Council investigate the hanging of Saddam Hussein? How could the leader of an Arab League state be hanged? I am not talking about Saddam Hussein’s policies or our [meaning the other Arab leaders] animosity towards him. We all had our disagreements with him. We all disagree with one another. Nothing unites us except this hall. Why is there not an investigation about Saddam Hussein’s execution?

An entire Arab government is killed and hung on the gallows – Why?! In the future it is going to be your turns too! [The rest of the Arab officials gathered start laughing] Indeed!

America fought alongside Saddam Hussein against Khomeini [in the Iraq-Iran War]. He was their friend. Cheney was a friend of Saddam Hussein. Rumsfeld, the [U.S.] defence secretary during the bombing of Iraq [in 2003], was a close friend of Saddam Hussein.

At the end they sold him out. They hung him. Even you [the Arab leaders] who are the friends of America – no I will say we – we, the friends of America, America may approve of our hanging one day. [2]

Pemuda PBB Zone Limbang/Lawas : We don’t need Khairy to teach us

LAWAS: The leaders of the ruling State Barisan Nasional (BN) do not need to be taught by “outsiders”, said Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Zone 7 Youth Chief Awangku Jinal Abedin Pengiran Haji Jawa.

“It is because the state BN leaders have visions and views that are more matured compared to ‘green-horned’ politicians.

“It would be wise for UMNO Youth Chief Khairy Jamaluddin not to interfere with the state’s domestic politics by asking the Chief Minister to step down.

Kawasan Bidayuh bukan untuk ditawan dan dikuasai oleh parti pembangkang dari Semenanjung Malaysia: Peter Minos

PETER MINOS

KUCHING: Parti Tindakan Demokratik (DAP) diberitahu agar melupakan hasrat untuk menguasai kawasan majoriti Bidayuh pada Pilihan Raya Umum (PRU) akan datang kerana kehadiran parti itu ke kawasan Bidayuh ibarat ‘tetamu tidak diundang’.
Timbalan Ketua Publisiti Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Datuk Peter Minos berkata DAP boleh mencuba nasib di kawasan-kawasan Parlimen Bidayuh tetapi itu hanyalah usaha sia-sia kerana Bidayuh tetap kekal berpihak kepada Barisan Nasional (BN) seperti selama ini.
“DAP, jangan sentuh kawasan Bidayuh, kerana Bidayuh tidak sukakan DAP. Selain pembangkang, DAP adalah parti yang datang dari Semenanjung Malaysia dan Bidayuh tidak suka parti yang datang dari Semenanjung Malaysia.

Pehin Sri mahu wakil Cina

Menteri dari masyarakat Cina tetap dilantik dalam kabinet negeri
KUCHING: Wakil komuniti Cina tetap akan dilantik dalam kabinet negeri walaupun Parti Rakyat Bersatu Sarawak (SUPP) tidak berganjak dengan keputusannya ti-dak mahu ada wakil kaum itu dalam kerajaan negeri.
Ketua Menteri Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud berkata beliau tetap akan menunaikan janjinya mahu membantu komuniti Cina menda-patkan wakil dalam kerajaan.
Malah katanya, SUPP tiada kuasa untuk menyatakan sama ada mereka setuju atau tidak wakil Cina dilantik dalam kabinet Sarawak.
“Apa hak mereka (SUPP) untuk berkata begitu. Mereka bersetuju atau tidak ada wakil Cina dalam ke-rajaan, saya tetap akan tunaikan janji mahu membantu Cina bagi menda-patkan wakil yang adil dalam ke-rajaan,” katanya kepada pemberita ketika ditemui selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat kabinet di Wisma Bapa Malaysia di sini semalam.

Abdul Karim Hamzah : SNAP akan jadi kuli jika setuju bergabung dengan DAP

Posted on April 23, 2011, Saturday

KUCHING: SNAP akan menjadi kuli jika parti yang dahulunya pernah menjadi ahli komponen BN Sarawak itu, setuju bergabung dengan DAP seperti yang dicadangkan oleh Lim Kit Siang.
Ketua Setiausaha Politik Ketua Menteri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah berkata, ia merupakan usaha DAP menangkis pandangan ramai yang mengatakan ia bukan parti Cina apabila bergabung dengan SNAP yang kebanyakan ahlinya adalah Bumiputera.
“Ia hanya perkahwinan untuk kepentingan DAP,” katanya ketika dihubungi bagi mengulas mengenai ilham Kit Siang, penasihat DAP, untuk bergabung dengan SNAP, baru-baru ini.
Menurut Abdul Karim, penggabungan dua parti itu akan memudahkan DAP menyerap masuk ke kawasan luar bandar Sarawak untuk memenangi kerusi pilihan raya pada masa depan.
Ia merupakan satu usaha yang tak mungkin akan dapat DAP lakukan sekarang.
“Saya percaya pemimpin SNAP tidak akan mahu diperkudakan oleh DAP sebegitu rupa,” katanya.

VICTORY IN SARAWAK - Mahathir Mohamad

U.S. secretly backed Syrian opposition groups

The State Department has secretly financed Syrian political opposition groups and related projects, including a satellite TV channel that beams anti-government programming into the country, according to previously undisclosed diplomatic cables.

The London-based satellite channel, Barada TV, began broadcasting in April 2009 but has ramped up operations to cover the mass protests in Syria as part of a long-standing campaign to overthrow the country’s autocratic leader, Bashar al-Assad. Human rights groups say scores of people have been killed by Assad’s security forces since the demonstrations began March 18; Syria has blamed the violence on “foreign-armed gangs.”
