Obama administration and Saudi's made deal on Bahrain and UN resolution on Libya

You'll make more money with me

We have pointed out numerous times on this blog that there is no way the Saudi thugs invaded Bahrain to suppress the uprising there without the go ahead from US imperialism and the Obama administration.  These are some nasty bastards.  The Asia Times reports now that the Obama administration and the "House of Saud" struck a deal where the Saudi's would go in to Bahrain and the US would "take out" Gaddafi. 

"Two diplomatic sources at the United Nations independently confirmed that Washington, via Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, gave the go-ahead for Saudi Arabia to invade Bahrain and crush the pro-democracy movement in their neighbor in exchange for a "yes" vote by the Arab League for a no-fly zone over Libya - the main rationale that led to United Nations Security Council resolution 1973" the Times reports.

Furthermore, the view that the Arab League supported the western invasion is a myth, the Asia Times says.  There were even protesters in Libya carrying banners thanking the western forces and the Arab league for supporting the UN resolution.  But according to the Times report only nine of the 22 members of the Arab League voted for the no fly zone calling the affair a "House of Saud led operation".  

There were only 11 of the 22 members of the League present at the voting. Six of them were Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) members.  These are the outright stooges of US capitalism and the corporations and the Saudi's are the head honchos of that group.  Syria and Algeria voted against the no fly zone and all the Saudi's had to do was "seduce" three votes, the Times adds.  A combination of the heavily US armed Saudis and US imperialism in the region is a formidable force.

So only nine of the 22 members of the Arab League voted to wage a war on Libya. The Egyptians had every reason to vote for it, the Times adds because the Arab League secretary general, Amr Moussa is bootlicking the US, that arms and trains the Egyptian military in the hopes of receiving some favors in his bid to become the next Egyptian President.

Non of these forces are acting in the interests of Arab or US workers.  The only real way forward is  through the building of a united international working class movement.  Such a  movement can shut down Gadaffi and remove all the stooges of western imperialism in the region.  Being part of such a movement is what will drive back the capitalist offensive here in the US also and open the doors to the creation of a world of democratic socialist states that can determine on a collective basis how the resources of the earth and our labor are utilized based on human need not profit. This small example of the lies from the likes of Obama and Clinton about the Saudi intervention in Bahrain being a decision of the Saudi's alone that the US cautioned against, stresses the need for an independent working class alternative to the strategy of global capitalism..

And now Obama, the Nobel peace laureate is looking to increase the presence of the notorious CIA thugs in the Libyan campaign.  The very organization that set the first "boots on the ground" in Vietnam; the same organization that had one of its operatives present at the murder of Che Guevara and countless other revolutionaries. The same organization that hounded harassed and eventually assassinated Malcolm X.

They did a great humanitarian job in Vietnam didn't they?
