The author presents quite a few details about US Empire designs on Libya and the African continent, and its current attempts to contain, if not rollback, the insurrections in this part of the world.

It armed a faction of the Libyan opposition, and hijacked the UN debate over sanctions against Libya by imposing the debate over the no-fly zone, tantamount to a military intervention. It organized a military intervention in Bahrain.
