"No arms for Libyan rebels", says Liam Fox. Who is he kidding? From day one, the USA have been making plans to supply the rebels: "The option of providing military assistance is on the table because no options have been removed from the table," White House spokesman Jay Carney said (Reuters March 5th). David Cameron on February 28th in the House of Commons suggested, "the British government would consider arming the opposition". These sort of signals made by countries that rely so much on making money from their arms industries do not go without a scurrying army of entrepreneurs packing their bags, portfolios and samples bent for the nearest airport.. The logistics for this little business venture were probably in place days before the first aircraft began enforcing the no-fly zone. The only reason I can see for Fox parading his views on the BBC is to ensure that Germany and Turkey fall in line with all the other NATO lands to run this war (I choose my words). As soon as this command structure is established, then watch out.
There are big bucks to be made.
