New York Times demands escalation of killing in Libya
Having endorsed the Obama administration’s war in Libya on the pretext of “protecting civilians,” the editors of the New York Times are now demanding a sharp escalation in the killing through the reintroduction of the US military’s flying gunships. “Wars are messy business,” the laptop generals of Eighth Avenue inform their readers in an editorial published in the newspaper’s Friday edition. They note that “the international effort to keep Col. Muammar Gaddafi’s forces from slaughtering Libyan rebels and civilians is proving no exception.”
