Description

Among Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s major infrastructure projects was the so-called “Great Man-Made River” that pulled water from aquifers deep below the sands of the Sahara desert into Libya’s coastal communities where most Libyans live. The river was a target of the NATO bombs that destroyed Libya in 2011 and drove Gaddafi from power. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to former Gaddafi spokesman Moussa Ibrahim about why the river was targeted and the severe, long-term consequences its damage wrought on the Libyan people.

What the US and NATO did to Libya was one of the worst war crimes ever committed...totally unprovoked. There are still people that will say that what happened was justified...totally nuts.

"NATO is not to defend Europe from the Russian hordes, it's to control the global energy system, sea lanes and pipelines. And to serve as a U.S run intervention force." ~Noam Chomsky
