Google Goes Green With Biofuel Investment MAR 18,11

The folks at Google Ventures have been very active in the green venture capital space lately.

Following a $42 million investment in the extreme weather/climate change insurance start-up WeatherBill last month, the venture capital arm of Google is making its first foray into the biofuel space, leading a $20 million dollar investment into CoolPlanet Biofuels, a Camarillo California-based startup that has only been in business for 18 months.CoolPlanet Biofuels is developing technology to produce fuel from inedible biomass such as wood chips, grass clippings, and crop residue. But instead of creating large-scale refineries where agricultural waste would need to be shipped to them via expensive, carbon-burning transportation like trucks or trains, CPB plans to use mobile refineries. These refineries will be packed into tractor trailers and will essentially be refinery plants on wheels, with the ability to move from site to site. The mobile plant will look something like this.Still sounds like a fairly typical biofuel company, just with a mobile refinery wrinkle, right? Not so fast. When considering their proprietary Biomass Fractinator technology, things get a whole lot more interesting. CoolPlanet Biofuels plans to develop fuel that will be carbon negative. How is this possible? Well, according to their website, their fractionator technology:extracts useful hydrocarbons from biomass, leaving behind the excess carbon as a high purity solid. The process generates activated carbon with a very high surface area which will allow it to be used as a soil enhancer similar to terra preta. By burying this carbon in an appropriate manner, we can greatly enhance soil fertility while sequestering carbon for hundreds of years.

So, in essence, they will be isolating the carbon where it will become a solid byproduct of the biofuel production process. They will then take this carbon and bury it into the ground, enhancing the nutrient content of the soil where it's buried. The idea is for the soil to resemble the rich and fertile anthropogenic soils found in the Amazon Basin, where local farmers have historically mixed charcoal, bone and manure into nutrient-poor soil for agriculture.Their website goes on to say:In contrast, normal plant decomposition occurs in just a few years, releasing the plant's carbon as CO2 and even more harmful methane gas. Our process yields about the same amount of carbon as gasoline so, if we sequester this carbon as a soil enhancer, or simply bury it as coal, the associated fuel has a N100 Negative Carbon Rating.Instead of having the carbon released into atmosphere in gas form as C02 or methane, through this process, the carbon can be contained and buried underground in coal form.Exciting stuff. If viable, this is the type of technology that could help remove our dependence on fossil fuel energy sources and actually reverse global carbon emissions. Obviously, widespread use of this process or others like it might be years away. But, it's great to know that it exists. And with financial backing by the likes of Google and some other major energy players like GE, Conoco Phillips and NRG, there may actually be something to it.

Obama Likely to Name Google’s Eric Schmidt as Commerce Secretary
John Ellis Business Insider March 19, 2011

The word in Washington is that President Obama is close to naming departing CEO Eric Schmidt as the nation’s next Secretary of Commerce.Mr. Schmidt picked up an important vote of confidence earlier this week when former Reagan Administration Commerce Department counsel Clyde Prestowitz essentially endorsed Schmidt for the job. That didn’t happen by accident and it’s a strong signal that the GOP DC establishment will support a Schmidt appointment. Such support would almost certainly insure a smooth confirmation process.Mr. Schmidt is available to take this assignment. At the end of January, Google announced that he would shortly be leaving his CEO position. His last day is set for April 4, when cofounder Larry Page will take over.Schmidt was at Google for 10 years, and reportedly decided to leave after battling Google’s cofounders over its decision to pull out of China. The company left China due to in part to free speech battles, and in part because Chinese hackers were attacking Google.A final decision is expected within the next two weeks. The outgoing Commerce Secretary, former Washington Governor Gary Locke, was nominated by President Obama to serve as the US Ambassador to China.

Bilderberg To Meet In Switzerland
James P. Tucker Jr. American Free Press March 21, 2011

The shadowy group known as Bilderberg will be gathering this year for its annual meeting at the resort city of St. Moritz, in southeastern Switzerland, June 9-12, but they will have a lot of company. St. Moritz is a short distance from Davos, the site of the regular high-priced meeting of thousands of bankers, political leaders and other notables called the World Economic Forum. But unlike at Davos, where the press is always welcome, Bilderberg still tries to maintain absolute secrecy.
Bilderberg has met in Switzerland four times over the years but never in the same city. Normally, when their sibling in crime, the Trilateral Commission (TC), meets in North America, Bilderberg does, too. This year, the TC will meet in Washington on April 8 to 10, but the Bilderbergers are avoiding the United States, in what may be an effort to fool the press.Bilderberg has been called the most exclusive and secretive club in the world. To be admitted, you have to own a multinational bank, a multinational corporation or a country. Since its first meeting in 1953, it has been attended by the top powerbrokers, financial minds and world leaders.

The Bilderbergers hope that part of their common agenda with the Trilateralists will be accomplished by the time they meet: a U.S. invasion of Libya to generate increased Middle East turmoil so America can go to war with Iran, on Israel’s behalf.
As has happened for several years, the Bilderbergers will blubber about how evil nationalists are blocking their efforts to achieve world government. They will order oil prices to climb so desperate Americans might be made more willing to surrender sovereignty to a world government. They will promote wars for profit, and will advance the call for a world government to impose peace—as if peace can be imposed.It is ironic that Bilderberg attendees love Switzerland so much because they are poles apart politically from Switzerland, which declared itself a non-interventionist neutral country four centuries ago. It has been involved in none of the world’s bloody wars since.The Bilderbergers can expect to be loudly greeted by AFP, European news outlets and some in the U.S. independent media. In Europe, major metropolitan daily newspapers from Paris, London and other cities give major coverage to Bilderberg. But The Washington Post, The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times and their numerous chains will submit to muzzling because their top representatives are actual Bilderberg participants themselves.

Libyan War: Globalists Bluffing Their Way To Victory
Tony Cartalucci Prisonplanet.com March 21, 2011
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI8r-vOWBNE&feature=player_embedded

In a war the globalists dared not even debate domestically amongst their bankrupt, imploding societies, they are now oafishly extending their litany of verifiable lies, and unverified accusations over the combat phase of their meddling in Libya.We were told that UN Security Council (UNSC) resolution 1973 was to establish a no-fly zone over Libya to protect civilians. We would only be kidding ourselves if we didn’t realize the entire resolution was just the camel’s nose entering the tent – and that full-fledged war and regime change is well underway.Perhaps sensing that non-existent public support will not sustain another decade of war on yet another battlefront, the globalists are trying to bluff their way through to a quick victory. In additional to a terroristic shock & awe campaign, the British MI6 are now attempting to threaten members of Libya’s government and military with assassination if they don’t defect from Qaddafi’s government. This comes from a Daily Mail article charmingly titled MI6 puts gun to generals’ heads. Indeed, this is the true face of the international community, gangsters on a global scale extorting their demands via death threats and acts of shocking violence.It is also quite apparent that the campaign to demonize Libya’s government has hit a few snags with an increasingly astute public forcing propaganda outfits like BBC to concede their reports are merely allegations and claims, with even the Department of Defense admitting to having no confirmation whatsoever on reports of Qaddafi brutalizing civilian populations. This is important to keep in mind considering the entire justification behind UNSC resolution 1973, authorizing the recent missile and aerial bombardments of Libya by the US, UK, and France is based on these allegations and claims of which the US Department of Defense has no confirmation whatsoever.Late February 2011, Libyan opposition leader Ibrahim Sahad, sitting in front of the White House, spells out the game plan long before the US, UK, and EU began their poorly feigned soul searching on what to do over Libya.The United Nations masquerades as an international authority coordinating and lending legitimacy to global responses, including the current aggression towards Libya. In reality, it is but a tool, a facilitator for the global corporate-financier agenda. Its recent Resolution 1973 is a rubber stamped, nearly verbatim copy of the corporate funded stratagems that have been plotting and articulating regime change in Libya openly since early February.

Corporations wrote UNSC Resolution 1973

In Kenneth Pollack’s March 9th 2001 report for the corporate funded think-tank Brookings Institute titled, The Real Military Options in Libya, he outlines safe havens:We could carve out safe havens along both borders, defend them with ground and air forces (and ground forces would be necessary) and then bring in the UN and NGOs to provide aid and assistance. Such an operation would be relatively easy to start, but very hard to end. We could only responsibly cease protecting the strongholds when a political settlement in Libya was in place and could be trusted to actually end the violence—and that might be a long time coming, especially if the only Western intervention is to defend the save havens.UNSC resolution 1973 mirrors this:…to take all necessary measures, not withstanding paragraph 9 of resolution 1970 (2011), to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, including Benghazi, while excluding a foreign occupation force of any form on any part of Libyan territory…While UNSC resolution 1973 excludes ground troops, the USS Kearsarge and USS Ponce, vessels specializing in amphibious assault, are already off Libya’s shores. The think-tanks that developed the strategy now unfolding in Libya know very well ground troops will be necessary if bluffing their way to victory doesn’t work.Pollack continues to outline the no-fly zone:The NFZs are a problematic option. We have never tried to use a No-Fly Zone to bring down a regime in the past—only to prevent a humanitarian crisis—and it is a difficult operation to use in that manner. A No-Fly Zone is a mostly passive option (which is why it is attractive to many Westerners) in that we would only use force when the Libyan Air Force (LAF) challenged it. Otherwise, no one might even see the Western jets overhead. Thus, the degree of pressure they apply, politically or militarily, is very modest. NFZs did not bring down either Saddam or Milosevic.

Again, Pollack is straight forward about declaring the globalists’ true intentions: regime change. The UN resolution of course, focuses primarily on the no-fly zone, but the clause to protect civilians and civilian populated areas leaves the door open for mission creep into Pollack’s additional options, which include airstrikes, which are already taking place, the Afghan option involving special operation forces supporting armed rebels, and the blockade, sanctions and covert support optionwhich is also already underway. An enforced arms embargo and asset freeze is also mirrored in the UNSC resolution 1973. The final option Pollack covers is of course, invasion.
Pollack has this to say about the invasion option:Finally, if the United States decides that we really want to get rid of Qaddafi, we could invade. In the aftermath of Iraq and Afghanistan, I have a great deal of difficulty imagining that any American would be ready to do this, and certainly no one is calling for it now. Let us hope that we never come to this ugly bridge at all.Knowing that regime change was the goal from the very beginning, with globalists like Sarkozy of France already recognizing the rebels as Libya’s legitimate government, we can only imagine the stories that will be cooked up by the propaganda outlets to justify an invasion should air support under the cover of humanitarian aid fail to hand the rebels victory.Amazingly, there are still voices all across society, apparently having been absent the last decade of bankrupting war and murderous occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan, that seem to believe somehow this time the West’s intentions are genuine. Clearly, Kenneth Pollack’s report is a premeditated signed confession of the West’s true intentions which officially articulate the narrative the corporate owned media has been peddling since the Libyan unrest began in mid-February.The Middle East is going to be re-engineered in favor of the global corporate-financier oligarchs whether we believe the globalists’ tired rhetoric or not. All that is left for us to do, is take a look atthe corporations funding men like Kenneth Pollack, and put them out of business by boycotting and replacing them with local solutions. We must control our own destiny by reclaiming our responsibilities to sustain ourselves and our communities without paying into the corporate consumer paradigm run by arrogant policy wonks holed up in Washington or the corporations robbing the planet blind from the comfort of Wall Street and London.Tony Cartalucci is the writer and editor at Land Destroyer.

Radiation anxiety grows in disaster-struck Japan
By Shinichi Saoshiro and Kiyoshi Takenaka - MAR 21,11 9:15PM

TOKYO (Reuters) – Global anxiety rose over radiation from Japan's crippled nuclear plant even as engineers won ground in their battle to avert disaster from the world's worst atomic crisis since Chernobyl.The high-stakes drama at the battered Fukushima nuclear power complex is playing out while the Asian nation grapples with the aftermath of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that left at least 21,000 people dead or missing.Technicians working inside an evacuation zone round the stricken plant on Japan's northeast Pacific coast have managed to attach power cables to all six reactors and started a pump at one of them to cool overheating nuclear fuel rods.We see a light for getting out of the crisis, an official quoted Prime Minister Naoto Kan as saying, allowing himself some rare optimism in Japan's toughest moment since World War II.Yet away from the plant, mounting evidence of radiation in vegetables, water and milk spread jitters among Japanese and abroad despite officials' assurances levels were not dangerous.Plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company said radiation was found in the Pacific nearby, not surprising given rain and the hosing of reactors with sea-water.Radioactive iodine in the sea samples was 126.7 times the allowed limit, while cesium was 24.8 times over, Kyodo news agency said. That still posed no immediate danger, TEPCO said.It would have to be drunk for a whole year in order to accumulate to one millisievert, a TEPCO official said, referring to the standard radiation measurement unit. People are generally exposed to about 1 to 10 millisieverts each year from background radiation caused by substances in the air and soil.Japan has urged some residents near the plant to stop drinking tap water after high levels of radioactive iodine were detected. It has also stopped shipments of milk, spinach and another local vegetable called kakina from the area.

What I want the people to understand is that their levels are not high enough to affect humans, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said.Experts say readings are much lower than around Chernobyl after the 1986 accident in Ukraine. Some warned against panic.You would have to eat or drink an awful lot to get any level of radiation that would be harmful, said British nuclear expert Laurence Williams.We live in a radioactive world: we get radiation from the earth, from the food we eat. It's an emotive subject and the nuclear industry and governments have got to do a lot more to educate people.The World Health Organization (WHO) said the radiation impact was, however, becoming more serious than first thought, when it was expected to be limited to 20-30 km from the plant.However, Peter Cordingley, spokesman for the WHO's regional office, told Reuters there was no evidence of contaminated food reaching other countries from the Fukushima complex, which lies 240 km (150 miles) north of Tokyo.In the city of 13 million, many residents remain indoors or wear masks when out in the street. Some expatriates and locals left after the accident.

Japan is a net importer of food, but has substantial exports -- mainly fruit, vegetables, dairy products and seafood -- with its biggest markets in Hong Kong, China and the United States.

CONTAMINATION FEARS

China said it is monitoring food imports from Japan but also took a swipe against panic by jailing a man for 10 days for spreading rumors about contamination of its waters. State media said the computer company worker, who had urged people to avoid sea products for a year, was also fined 500 yuan ($76.13) and had confessed to deep awareness of his mistake.South Korea is expanding inspection of Japanese food. And in Taiwan, one Japanese restaurant is offering diners a radiation gauge in case they are nervous about the food.The United States said it was distributing potassium iodide to American personnel in Japan out of an abundance of caution should the radiation treatment be needed.The prospects of a nuclear meltdown in the world's third-biggest economy - and its key position in global supply chains especially for the automobile and technology sectors - rattled investors worldwide last week and prompted rare joint currency intervention by the G7 group of rich nations.Damage is estimated at around $250 billion, making it the world's costliest natural disaster.

Japan's economic growth is expected to depress in the first half before reconstruction kicks in.Global stocks rose on Monday as risk appetite returned following progress in the nuclear crisis. The yen slid on speculation of more Group of Seven intervention.In a symbolic boost for Japan, billionaire investor Warren Buffett said the quake and tsunami were an enormous blow but also presented a buying opportunity given recovery prospects.

DEVASTATED NORTH

The official death toll - 8,805 by Tuesday morning - is certain to keep rising, with another 12,654 reported missing. Police say more than 15,000 people probably died in Miyagi prefecture, one of four that took the brunt of the tsunami.The 9.0-magnitude quake and ensuing 10-meter (32-ft) tsunami obliterated towns, which are now wastelands of mud and debris, leaving more than 350,000 people homeless.Japanese are famed for resilience though, and there was none of the chaos or looting that major global disasters often spark.In one devastated northern town, Rikuzentakata, rebuilding has even begun to help families living on mats in cramped shelters, separated from neighbors only by cardboard.Steel structures, with walls and wood floors, have been erected at a hilltop school, to provide temporary housing. Nearly 9.5 million foreigners visited Japan last year.But, like Korean housewife Jin Hye-ryun who canceled a planned visit in May, many tourists are re-thinking.Safety is not guaranteed, she said.Besides, think about people dying there. No one wants to go there to have fun.There is widespread admiration for the workers facing high radiation dosages on the front line at Fukushima. Some have wept with tension and relief after finishing their shifts.Other tales of heroism and horror abound, including a fire chief traumatized after sending a team to close a faulty sea-wall manually just as the tsunami struck, killing them all.As well as hunting for bodies and survivors, rescuers have been painstakingly recovering photographs and other mementos from the wreckage and laying them out for possible collection.(Additional reporting by Paul Eckert and James Topham in Tokyo; Yoko Kubota and Chang-ran Kim in Rikuzentakata; Jon Herskovitz and Chisa Fujioka in Kamaishi; Sui-Lee Wee in Beijing; Jungyoun Park in Seoul; Alister Doyle in Oslo; Writing by Andrew Cawthorne and Jason Szep; Editing by Miral Fahmy)

No quick fix seen at Japan's nuclear plant By ERIC TALMADGE and MARI YAMAGUCHI, Associated Press -MAR 21,11 4:45PM

FUKUSHIMA, Japan – Officials raced Monday to restore electricity to Japan's leaking nuclear plant, but getting the power flowing will hardly be the end of their battle: With its mangled machinery and partly melted reactor cores, bringing the complex under control is a monstrous job.Restoring the power to all six units at the tsunami-damaged complex is key, because it will, in theory, power up the maze of motors, valves and switches that help deliver cooling water to the overheated reactor cores and spent fuel pools that are leaking radiation.Ideally, officials believe it should only take a day to get the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear under control once the cooling system is up and running. In reality, the effort to end the crisis is likely to take weeks.Late Monday night, the deputy director general of Japan's nuclear safety body suggested to reporters why there is so much uncertainty about when the job will be finished.We have experienced a very huge disaster that has caused very large damage at a nuclear power generation plant on a scale that we had not expected, said Hidehiko Nishiyama of the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency.The nuclear plant's cooling systems were wrecked by the massive earthquake and tsunami that devastated northeastern Japan on March 11. Since then, conditions at the plant have been volatile; a plume of smoke rose from two reactor units Monday, prompting workers to evacuate.In another setback, the plant's operator said Monday it had just discovered that some of the cooling system's key pumps at the complex's troubled Unit 2 are no longer functional — meaning replacements have to be brought in. Tokyo Electric Power Co. said it had placed emergency orders for new pumps, but how long it would take for them to arrive was unclear.If officials can get the power turned on, get the replacement pumps working and get enough seawater into the reactors and spent fuel pools, it would only take a day to bring the temperatures back to a safe, cooling stage, said Ryohei Shiomi, an official with the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency.

And if not? There is nothing else we can do but keep doing what we've been doing, Shiomi said.In other words, officials would continue dousing the plant in seawater — and hope for the best.An official of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said in Washington that Units 1, 2 and 3 have all seen damage to their reactor cores, but that containment is intact. The assessment dispels some concerns about Unit 2, where an explosion damaged a pressure-reducing chamber around the bottom of the reactor core.I would say optimistically that things appear to be on the verge of stabilizing, said Bill Borchardt, the commission's executive director for operations.
Monday's evacuation of workers from the plant came after smoke began rising from the spent fuel storage pool of the plant's problem-plagued Unit 3, Tokyo Electric spokesman Hiroshi Aizawa said. Unit 3 also alarmed plant officials over the weekend with a sudden surge of pressure in its reactor core.What caused the smoke to billow first from Unit 3 and then from Unit 2 is under investigation, nuclear safety agency officials said. Still, in the days since the earthquake and tsunami, both reactors have overheated and seen explosions. Workers were evacuated from the area to buildings nearby, though radiation levels remained steady, the officials said.
Problems set off by the disasters have ranged far beyond the shattered northeast coast and the wrecked nuclear plant, handing the government what it has called Japan's worst crisis since World War II. Rebuilding may cost as much as $235 billion. Police estimate the death toll will surpass 18,000.Traces of radiation are tainting vegetables and some water supplies, although in amounts the government and health experts say do not pose a risk to human health in the short term. That has caused the government to ban sale of raw milk, spinach and canola from prefectures over a swath from the plant toward Tokyo. The government has just started to test fish and shellfish.

Tokyo Electric said radioactive iodine about 127 times normal levels and radioactive cesium about 25 times above the norm were detected in seawater 100 yards (meters) off the Fukushima nuclear plant.Despite that concentration, a senior official at the International Atomic Energy Agency said the ocean was capable of absorbing vast amounts of radiation with no effect and that — comparatively — the radioactivity released so far by the plant was minor.I would stress that the levels concerned are really very, very small, compared to the natural radioactivity that you find in the oceans, said Graham Andrew, senior adviser to IAEA chief Yukiya Amano. The quantities are tiny compared to the reservoir of natural radioactivity in the oceans.
The Health Ministry has advised Iitate, a village of 6,000 people about 19 miles (30 kilometers) northwest of the plant, not to drink tap water due to elevated levels of iodine. Ministry spokesman Takayuki Matsuda said iodine three times the normal level was detected there — about one twenty-sixth of the level of a chest X-ray in one liter of water.Please do not overreact, and act calmly, Chief Cabinet spokesman Yukio Edano said in the government's latest appeal to ease public concerns. Even if you eat contaminated vegetables several times, it will not harm your health at all.
Edano said Tokyo Electric would compensate farmers affected by bans on milk, spinach and canola.The World Health Organization said Japan will have to do more to reassure the public about food safety.Walking outside for a day and eating food repeatedly are two different things. This is why they're going to have to take some decisions quickly in Japan to shut down and stop food being used completely from zones which they feel might be affected, WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl said.In a travel warning, the State Department offered potassium iodide to its staff in Japan as a precaution but advised its employees to refrain from taking the compound at this time. The government says it is making potassium iodide available out of an abundance of caution to its personnel and family members, and the compound should only be consumed after specific instruction from the U.S. government.The troubles at Fukushima have in some ways overshadowed the natural catastrophe, threatening a wider disaster if the plant spews more concentrated forms of radiation than it has so far.The nuclear safety agency and Tokyo Electric reported significant progress over the weekend and Monday. Electrical teams, having finished connecting three of the plant's six units, were working to connect the rest by Tuesday, the utility said.Once done, however, pumps and other equipment have to be checked — and the reactors cleared of dangerous gas — before the power can be restored. For instance, a motorized pump to inject water into Unit 2's overheated reactor and spent fuel storage pool needs to be replaced, said Nishiyama, the official with NISA.The World Bank said in a report Monday that Japan may need five years to rebuild from the disasters, which caused up to $235 billion in damage, saying the cost to private insurers will be up to $33 billion and that the government will spend $12 billion on reconstruction in the current national budget and much more later.

All told, police estimate around 18,400 people died from the 9.0-magnitude quake and tsunami. More than 15,000 deaths are likely in Miyagi, the prefecture that took the full impact of the wave, said a police spokesman.Police in other parts of the disaster area declined to provide estimates, but confirmed about 3,400 deaths. Nationwide, official figures show the disasters killed more than 8,800 people and left more than 12,600 missing, but those two lists may have some overlap.The disasters have displaced another 452,000, who are in shelters.Yamaguchi reported from Tokyo.

By ROBIN McDOWELL, Associated Press – Mon Mar 21, 6:37 am ET

JAKARTA, Indonesia – The recent monster quake that hit northeastern Japan altered the earth's surface, geologists say, loading stress onto a different segment of the fault line much closer to Tokyo.Experts are quick to point out that this doesn't mean a powerful earthquake is necessarily about to strike the Japanese capital. Even if it did, the structure of the tectonic plates and fault lines around the city makes it unlikely that Tokyo would be hit by a quake anywhere near the intensity of the 9.0-magnitude one that struck March 11, said Roger Musson of the British Geological Survey.But, given the vast population — Tokyo and its surroundings are home to 39 million people — any strong temblor could be devastating.Even if you've got, let's say, a 7.5, that would be serious, the seismologist said.Japan is located on the Ring of Fire, an arc of volcanos and fault lines spanning the Pacific Basin, and is regularly hit by earthquakes.But before last week's quake — the largest to hit the country since it started keeping records 130 years ago — few geologists considered Japan to be a strong candidate for a 9-plus earthquake, said Andrew Moore, of Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana.There is mounting evidence, however, that Japan has been struck by several severe quakes in the last 3,500 years — most in the northern reaches of the country. Sand deposits indicate that several quakes have spawned 30-foot-high (9-meter-high) waves that slammed into the northern island of Hokkaido, he said, the most recent in the 17th century.Similar deposits underlie the city of Sendai — the area rocked last week — with the most recent from an 869 A.D. tsunami that killed 1,000 people and washed more than 2.5 miles (three kilometers) inland.And even weaker quakes that hit Tokyo in the past have caused significant damage.

But last week's tremor changed the coastal landscape — and not just above sea-level. It created a trench in the sea floor 240 miles long (380 kilometers long) and 120 miles wide (190 kilometers wide) as one tectonic plate dove 30 feet (nine meters) beneath another, said Eric Fielding of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.While that relieved stress at the breaking point, it appears to have piled pressure onto adjacent segments, said Brian Atwater, a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey.
That added strain could now trigger a strong, deadly aftershock on Tokyo's doorstep.
It's a common occurrence after strong quakes and happened after the 2004 mega-earthquake and tsunami off Indonesia that killed 230,000 people in a dozen nations.

Three months later, an 8.6-magnitude quake erupted farther down the fault line, killing 1,000 people on sparsely populated Nias island.But it's difficult to say, said Atwater. There are good examples of such stresses leading to other earthquakes, big earthquakes, and there are good examples of that not happening.Scientists are studying the March 11 quake and ongoing seismic activity to determine where new strains might be building.When the main shock is this big, you get a football-shaped region where aftershocks are fair game. It extends in all directions, including toward Tokyo, USGS seismologist Susan Hough and other experts said.But, they acknowledge, it's hard to keep up. We are drinking from a fire hose here. The input data keeps changing and augmenting, Ross Stein, of the USGS, wrote in an e-mail. His focus now is on the fragment of the Pacific tectonic plate lodged beneath Tokyo — movement of which is believed to have caused a 7.3-magnitude quake in 1855 that killed an estimated 7,000 people.We believe ... the faults which bound the fragment were brought closer to failure by the magnitude-9 quake,Ross said.Associated Press writers Margie Mason in Hanoi and Alicia Chang in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

Strikes on Libya set to slow, stalemate feared
By Maria Golovnina and Michael Georgy - MAR 21,11 9:16PM

TRIPOLI (Reuters) – Anti-aircraft fire rang out across Tripoli for a third night on Monday, but air attacks on Libya are likely to slow, a U.S. general said, as Washington holds back from being sucked into the Libyan civil war.State television said several sites had come under attack in the capital. Western powers had no confirmation of fresh strikes in a U.N.-mandated campaign to target air defenses, enforce a no-fly zone and protect civilians from Muammar Gaddafi's forces.Rebels, who had been driven back toward their eastern Benghazi stronghold before the air attacks halted an advance by Gaddafi's forces, have so far done little to capitalize on the campaign -- raising fears the war could grind to a stalemate.But Washington, wary of being drawn into another war after long campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, has ruled out specific action to overthrow Gaddafi, though France said on Monday it hoped the Libyan government would collapse from within.My sense is that -- that unless something unusual or unexpected happens, we may see a decline in the frequency of attacks, General Carter Ham, who is leading U.S. forces in the Libyan operation, told reporters in Washington.President Barack Obama, facing questions at home about the United States military getting bogged down in a third Muslim country, said Washington would cede control of the Libyan operation in days.We anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not in a matter of weeks, Obama told a news conference during a visit to Chile.He did not spell out which nation or organization would take charge, but Britain and France took a lead role in pushing for the intervention in Libya. The missile strikes have already been extensive enough to have destroyed much of Libya's air defenses.

Libyan state television reported that several sites in Tripoli had been subject to new attacks by what it called the crusader enemy.These attacks are not going to scare the Libyan people, said a state television broadcast.Anti-aircraft gunfire rang out throughout the night and pro-Gaddafi slogans echoed around the city center. Cars sped through Tripoli streets honking wildly.Al Jazeera television said radar installations at two air defense bases in eastern Libya had been hit. However, a French armed forces spokesman said France, which has been involved in strikes in the east, had no planes in the air at the time.Meanwhile, residents in two besieged rebel-held cities in western Libya, Misrata and Zintan, said they had been attacked by Gaddafi's forces. Security analysts have said they believe government troops will try to force their way into civilian areas to escape attack from the air.In Misrata, residents said people had gone out into the streets to try to stop Gaddafi's forces entering the city.When they gathered in the center, the Gaddafi forces started shooting at them with artillery and guns, said the resident, who gave his name as Saadoun. He said nine people were killed.Zintan, near the Tunisian border, faced heavy shelling, two witnesses said, forcing residents to flee to mountain caves. Several houses were destroyed and a mosque minaret destroyed.New forces were sent today to besiege the city. There are now at least 40 tanks at the foothills of the mountains near Zintan, Abdulrahmane Daw told Reuters by phone from the town.The reports could not be independently verified.

DIPLOMATIC SETBACK

The United States and its allies have run into some criticism for the intensity of the firepower it unleashed on Libya, including more than 110 Tomahawk missiles on Saturday. Arab League chief Amr Moussa, who backed the U.N. resolution supporting military intervention, has questioned the methods used, while Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin compared the air campaign to medieval crusades.Libyan rebels have welcomed the air strikes and say they are coordinating with the Western powers launching air strikes. But there was little sign at the vanguard of battle in east Libya that this communication extended to forward rebel units.Western powers say they are not providing close air support to rebels or seeking to destroy Gaddafi's army, but rather only protecting civilians, as their U.N. mandate allows, leaving disorganized rebel fighters struggling to make headway.If we don't get more help from the West, Gaddafi's forces will eat us alive, rebel fighter Nouh Musmari told Reuters.Security analysts say it is unclear what will happen if the Libyan leader digs in, especially since Western powers have made clear they would be unwilling to see Libya partitioned between a rebel-held east and Gaddafi-controlled west.There is still a real risk of a protracted stalemate, with neither side wanting to negotiate. So the endgame remains very unclear, said Jeremy Binnie, a senior analyst with IHS Jane's.British Prime Minister David Cameron said the operation would not drag into another Iraq-style conflict.This is different to Iraq. This is not going into a country, knocking over its government and then owning and being responsible for everything that happens subsequently, Cameron said during a parliamentary debate on Libya.This is about protecting people and giving the Libyan people a chance to shape their own destiny, he said.In an appearance on Libyan television on Sunday, Gaddafi promised his enemies a long war.

GADDAFI NOT TARGETED, WEST SAYS

Officials in Tripoli said that one missile on Sunday, which they said was intended to kill Gaddafi, had destroyed a building in his compound, heavily bombed in 1986 by the United States.It was a barbaric bombing, said government spokesman Mussa Ibrahim, showing pieces of shrapnel that he said came from the missile. This contradicts American and Western (statements) ... that it is not their target to attack this place.A Libyan government spokesman also said that foreign attacks had killed many people by bombing ports and Sirte airport.You saw that place (Sirte airport),Mussa Ibrahim told a news conference. It's a civilian airport. It was bombarded and many people were killed. Harbours were also bombarded.Cameron said there were no plans to target Gaddafi.The U.N. resolution is limited in its scope, it explicitly does not provide legal authority for action to bring about Gaddafi's removal from power by military means,he told parliament.We will help fulfill the U.N. Security Council (resolution), it is for the Libyan people to determine their government and their destiny, but our view is clear, there is no decent future for Libya with Colonel Gaddafi remaining in power.French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said he hoped Libyans themselves would topple Gaddafi: When will the regime collapse? It is quite possible that, given the weakness of the regime, it will break up from within.(Reporting by Mohammed Abbas and Angus MacSwan in Benghazi, Maria Golovnina and Michael Georgy in Tripoli, Hamid Ould Ahmed and Christian Lowe in Algiers; Tom Perry in Cairo, John Irish in Paris, Missy Ryan in Washington, Matt Spetalnick in Rio de Janeiro; Writing by Myra MacDonald; Editing by Alison Williams)

Divisions strain NATO push for Libyan airstrikes
By DON MELVIN, Associated Press - MAR 21,11

BRUSSELS – Discord erupted Monday in Europe over whether the military operation in Libya should be controlled by NATO, after Turkey blocked the alliance's participation while Italy issued a veiled threat to withdraw the use of its bases unless the alliance was put in charge.Germany also questioned the wisdom of the operation, and Russia's Vladimir Putin railed against the UN-backed airstrikes mounted so far against Moammar Gadhafi's force by Britain, France and the United States outside of their NATO roles.The Security Council resolution is flawed, it allows everything and is reminiscent of a medieval call for a crusade, Putin said. In fact, it allows intervention in a sovereign state.A day after Turkey declined to support a military plan for the alliance to enforce a Libya no-fly zone, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he could support the NATO effort — but only if it does not turn into an occupation.NATO should only enter Libya to determine that Libya belongs to Libyans and not to distribute its natural resources and richness to others, Erdogan said during a visit to Saudi Arabia.There had been widespread expectation that the strikes against Libya would be overseen by NATO, and the hastily improvised nature of the military coalition has drawn criticism.The United States, France and Britain initiated attacks on Libya on Saturday, raining cruise missiles and precision bombs on Libyan military targets on the ground, including Gadhafi's residential compound. Other countries have since joined in.

Diplomats said Turkey, a NATO member that sees itself as a bridge between Europe and the Muslim world, was angered by its exclusion from an emergency summit Saturday in Paris organized by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, at which the 22 participants agreed to launch armed action against Gadhafi's military.France ended up making the first strikes, and the diplomats said Turkey's envoys had warned that NATO's participation in the airstrikes could damage the alliance's standing in the Islamic world at a time when it is heavily engaged in the war in Afghanistan.The diplomats, who are accredited to NATO, spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the discussions.NATO's participation in any military action against Libya would require the approval of all 28 NATO members. But Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Selcuk Unal denied that his country was grounding NATO.Turkey is not blocking NATO, Turkey has been contributing to the preparations with a positive approach since the beginning, Unal told The Associated Press.The NATO diplomats said the North Atlantic Council, NATO's top decision-making body, was unable to reach agreement Monday, and would take up the issue again on Tuesday for the fourth day in a row.Even if such an order is adopted, it would take several days before aircraft under NATO command could start flying missions over Libya. The order also is likely to restrict NATO's air forces to making sure there are no unauthorized flights over Libya, with no mention of attacks on ground targets, one of the diplomats said.

Turkey was apparently not the only obstacle. Diplomats said France was seeking political leadership of the mission, but this was opposed by a number of other nations, which wanted NATO firmly in charge. Another sticking point was just how aggressive the enforcement of the no-fly zone should be, as several nations strongly opposed continuing the air strikes on Libyan ground targets.Italy warned Monday that it would review the use of its bases by coalition forces if NATO does not take over. The country lies just across the Mediterranean from Libya and is allowing the use of seven of its military bases.Italy will begin reflecting on the use of its bases, said Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, according to Italian news reports. If there is a multiplication of command centers, we must study a way in which Italy retakes control of its bases.Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi insisted the mission should pass to NATO's command, and said Italian planes would not launch any missiles. Speaking in Turin, he said coordination among partners must be different from the one that has been established so far.British Prime Minister David Cameron, however, praised the performance of the informal coalition, saying its forces had neutralized Libyan air defenses and helped avert a bloodbath. The prime minister told British lawmakers that Gadhafi had violated a U.N. Security Council resolution by moving troops toward rebel-held cities and also had lied to the international community.

Gadhafi responded to the U.N. resolution by declaring a cease-fire, but straightaway it was clear he was breaking that promise, Cameron said.Cameron stressed that through airstrikes, coalition forces helped avert what could have been a bloody massacre in Benghazi.The aims behind coalition airstrikes — which Cameron called necessary, legal and right — were to suppress Libyan air defenses to enable the enforcement of a no-fly zone and to protect civilians. Good progress has been made on both fronts, Cameron said.Calling intervention in Libya a coalition of the willing, Cameron said Britain wants to internationalize this to the maximum degree possible and outlined commitments from other nations. While no Arab planes have flown in the mission, Cameron said the Qataris are providing a number of jets to help enforce the no-fly zone and the U.K. is doing everything it can to encourage other Arab nations to come forward.Cameron declined to say whether Gadhafi was himself a potential target of the airstrikes.Support from the Arab League was critical to obtaining U.N. approval for international action to protect Libyan civilians. But after the international operation began, the league chief Amr Moussa was quoted as telling reporters in Cairo that it should not have included attacks on Libyan targets on the ground.EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said Monday that Moussa had been misquoted, but German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle offered the comments as evidence that Germany's decision not to participate in the operation was justified.

This does not mean that we are neutral, Westerwelle said. This does not mean that we have any sympathy with the dictator Gadhafi. It means that we see the risks, and when we listen closely to what the Arab League yesterday said.Westerwelle said Germany would focus on broadening economic and financial sanctions against the Gadhafi regime.On Monday, the EU extended its travel ban and the freeze on assets to another 11 Libyan officials and its assets freeze to a further nine Libyan companies. It did not name the people or the companies involved.And in France, diplomats were hosting members of Libya's opposition for talks in Paris. Foreign ministry spokesman Bernard Valero noted France has had regular contacts with Libya's transitional national council — a top opposition group.Analysts said Turkey does not completely oppose military action, but wants to promote its role as a broker for peace in Libya.Turkey with its Muslim identity is emerging as a peace-builder and prefers reducing of the presence of foreigners and its policies might differ from those of Europe or the United States, said Ilter Turan, a professor of political science at Istanbul's Bilgi University.Turkey has vast business interests in Libya, most notably in the construction sector, and had relatively friendly ties with Gadhafi. More than 30,000 Turks were working in Libya before the uprising against Gadhafi's 42-year rule began last month.Associated Press writers Slobdan, Lekic, Raf Casert and Gabriele Steinhauser in Brussels, Nicole Winfield in Rome, Cassandra Vinograd and Raphael G.

Buoyed by strikes, Libya rebels try to advance
By RYAN LUCAS, Associated Press -MAR 21,11 4PM

ZWITINA, Libya – Libya's rebels scrambled to try to exploit international strikes on Moammar Gadhafi's forces and go on the offensive, as some of the opposition's ragtag citizen-fighters charged ahead to fight troops besieging a rebel city Monday. But the rebellion's more organized military units were still not ready, and the opposition disarray underscored U.S. warnings that a long stalemate could emerge.The air campaign by U.S. and European militaries has unquestionably rearranged the map in Libya and rescued rebels from the immediate threat they faced only days ago of being crushed under a powerful advance by Gadhafi's forces. The first round of airstrikes smashed a column of regime tanks that had been moving on the rebel capital of Benghazi in the east.Monday night, Libyan state TV said a new round of strikes had begun in the capital, Tripoli, marking the third night of bombardment. But while the airstrikes can stop Gadhafi's troops from attacking rebel cities — in line with the U.N. mandate to protect civilians — the United States, at least, appeared deeply reluctant to go beyond that toward actively helping the rebel cause to oust the Libyan leader.President Barack Obama said Monday that it is U.S. policy that Gadhafi has to go. But, he said, the international air campaign has a more limited goal, to protect civilians.Our military action is in support of an international mandate from the Security Council that specifically focuses on the humanitarian threat posed by Col. Gadhafi to his people. Not only was he carrying out murders of civilians but he threatened more, the president said on a visit to Chile.In Washington, the American general running the assault said there is no attempt to provide air cover for rebel operations. Gen. Carter Ham said Gadhafi might cling to power once the bombardment finishes, setting up a stalemate between his side and the rebels, with allied nations enforcing a no-fly zone to ensure he cannot attack civilians.Henri Guaino, a top adviser to the French president, said the allied effort would last a while yet.Among the rebels, as well, there was a realization that fighting could be drawn out. Mohammed Abdul-Mullah, a 38-year-old civil engineer from Benghazi who was fighting with the rebel force, said government troops stopped all resistance after the international campaign began.The balance has changed a lot, he said.But pro-Gadhafi forces are still strong. They are a professional military and they have good equipment. Ninety percent of us rebels are civilians, while Gadhafi's people are professional fighters.Disorganization among the rebels could also hamper their attempts to exploit the turn of events. Since the uprising began, the opposition has been made up of disparate groups even as it took control of the entire east of the country.

Regular citizens — residents of the liberated areas — took up arms and formed a ragtag, highly enthusiastic but highly undisciplined force that in the past weeks has charged ahead to fight Gadhafi forces, only to be beaten back by superior firepower. Regular army units that joined the rebellion have proven stronger, more organized fighters, but only a few units have joined the battles while many have stayed behind as officers struggle to get together often antiquated, limited equipment and form a coordinated force.Meanwhile, a political leadership has formed, made up of former members of Gadhafi's regime who defected along with prominent local figures in the east, such as lawyers and doctors. The impromptu nature of their leadership has left some in the West — particularly in the United States — unclear on who the rebels are that the international campaign is protecting.The disarray among the opposition was on display on Monday.With Benghazi relieved, several hundred of the citizen fighters barreled to the west, vowing to break a siege on the city of Ajdabiya by Gadhafi forces, which have been pounding a rebel force holed up inside the city since before the allied air campaign began. The fighters pushed without resistance down the highway from Benghazi — littered with the burned out husks of Gadhafi's tanks and armored personnel carriers hit in the airstrikes — until they reached the outskirts of Ajdabiya.Along the way, they swept into the nearby oil port of Zwitina, just northeast of Ajdabiya, which was also the scene of heavy fighting last week — though now had been abandoned by regime forces. There, a power station hit by shelling on Thursday was still burning, its blackened fuel tank crumpled, with flames and black smoke pouring out.Some of the fighters, armed with assault rifles, grenade launchers and truck-mounted anti-aircraft guns, charged to the city outskirts and battled with Gadhafi forces in the morning. A number of rebels were killed before they were forced to pull back somewhat, said the spokesman for the rebels' organized military forces, Khalid al-Sayah.Al-Sayah said the fighters' advance was spontaneous as always. But the regular army units that have joined the rebellion are not yet ready to go on the offensive. We don't want to advance without a plan, he told AP in Benghazi.If it were up to the army, the advance today would not have happened.

He said the regular units intend to advance but not yet, saying it was not yet ready. It's a new army, we're starting it from scratch.By Monday afternoon, around 150 citizen-fighters were massed in a field of dunes several miles (kilometers) outside Ajdabiya. Some stood on the wind-swept dunes with binoculars to survey the positions of pro-Gadhafi forces sealing off the entrances of the city. Ajdabiya itself was visible, black smoke rising, apparently from fires burning from fighting in recent days. There are five Gadhafi tanks and eight rocket launchers behind those trees and lots of 4x4s, one rebel fighter, Fathi Obeidi, standing on a dune and pointing at a line of trees between his position and the city, told an Associated Press reporter at the scene.Gadhafi forces have ringed the city's entrance and were battling with opposition fighters inside, rebels said. The plan is for the rebel forces from Benghazi to pinch the regime troops while those inside will push out, Obeidi said. He said a special commando unit that defected to the opposition early on in the uprising was inside the city leading the defense. Regime troops are also besieging a second city — Misrata, the last significant rebel-held territory in western Libya. According to reports from Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya, new fighting erupted Monday at Misrata, Libya's third largest city, which the forces have shelled repeatedly over recent days while cutting off most food and water supplies to residents.So far, allied bombardment has concentrated on knocking out Libyan air defenses, but a significant test of international intentions will be whether eventually the strikes by ship-fired cruise missiles and warplanes will try to break the sieges of Ajdabiya and Misrata by targeting the Gadhafi troops surrounding them.

Al-Sayah said there had been allied strikes against Gadhafi positions outside Ajdabiya early Monday, but there was no independent confirmation, and the troops were still in place Monday afternoon.Ali Zeidan, an envoy to Europe from the opposition-created governing council, told The Associated Press that rebels want to drive Gadhafi from power and see him tried — not have him killed. He said that while airstrikes have helped, the opposition needs more weapons to win the fight. We are able to deal with Gadhafi's forces by ourselves as long as it's a fair fight, he said in Paris. You see, Gadhafi himself, we are able to target him, and we would like to have him alive to face the international or the Libyan court for his crime .... We don't like to kill anybody ... even Gadhafi himself.At the Pentagon, Ham said Monday afternoon that during the previous 24 hours, U.S. and British forces launched 12 Tomahawk land attack missiles, targeting regime command-and-control facilities and a missile facility and attacking one air defense site that already had been attacked.Through a variety of reports, we know that regime ground forces that were in the vicinity of Benghazi now possess little will or capability to resume offensive operations, he said.A spokesman for the French military, whose warplanes have been conducting strikes in the Benghazi region, said there is a very clear scale-down in the intensity of combat and, therefore, threats to the population because of the bombardment.There still are pro-Gadhafi elements in the zone where we're working. Nevertheless, these elements haven't necessarily been dealt with because they are mixed in, for example with the civilian population, Thierry Burkhard said.Associated Press writers Hadeel al-Shalchi in Tripoli, Libya, Diaa Hadid in Cairo, Jamey Keaten and Cecile Brisson in Paris, and Lolita C. Baldor and Robert Burns in Washington contributed to this report.

Obama favors Gadhafi stepping down from power
By JIM KUHNHENN, Associated Press - MAR 21,11 4:15PM

SANTIAGO, Chile – President Barack Obama said Monday the United States favors the ouster of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi but the international military effort has a more limited goal of establishing a no-fly zone over Libya and protecting civilians against massacre by forces loyal to the longtime ruler.Obama said the United States would transfer leadership of the military operation to other, unnamed participants within a matter of days, not weeks, but he declined to provide a more precise timetable.Obviously, the situation is evolving on the ground, and how quickly this transfer takes place will be determined by the recommendation of our commanding officers that the . first phase of the mission has been completed, Obama said.The president made his comments at a news conference in Chile, the second of three stops on a South American trip that coincides with the beginning of an international effort to create a no-fly zone to keep Gadhafi forces from taking to the air over parts of Libya. The United States has fired close to 150 cruise missiles against Libyan targets in the past three days, including one that hit inside the compound in Tripoli where Gadhafi and his family live.

The destruction within the compound has generated questions about the objective of the military campaign, and Obama described how the United States was leading an air assault with one set of goals while pursuing another objective on its own.Our military action is in support of an international mandate from the Security Council that specifically focuses on the humanitarian threat posed by Col. Gadhafi to his people. Not only was he carrying out murders of civilians but he threatened more, the president said.I have also stated that it is U.S. policy that Gadhafi has to go, he added, noting that the United States has imposed economic sanctions on Libya and frozen assets that the Libyan leader might have been able to use to purchase weapons or hire mercenaries.The president also said he had not had second thoughts about beginning the air offensive while he was traveling outside the United States.Keep in mind we were working on very short time frame, and we had done all the work and it was just a matter of seeing how Gadhafi would react to the warning I issued on Friday. After consulting with our allies we decided to move forward, and it was a matter of me directing Defense Secretary Robert Gates and others to implement plans already drawn up, Obama said.

Hawkish France says Yemeni leader will fall
ANDREW RETTMAN Today MAR 21,11 @ 19:34 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - A 'hawkish' France has surprised its EU allies by publicly predicting that Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh will fall from power. We say this to Yemen, where the situation is worsening. We estimate today that the departure of President Saleh is unavoidable, French foreign minister Alain Juppe told press after a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels on Monday (21 March).
We are coherent on all the events in the Middle East and Mediterranean. We wish democracy and human rights for all the peoples of the region. This is valid for all countries.Juppe spoke after a top Yemeni general earlier the same day defected to protesters calling for an end to Saleh's 33-year-long rule. The president responded by sending tanks onto the streets of Sanaa. Saleh forces last week killed over 40 protesters. The French line was stronger than the language agreed by all 27 ministers on Yemen in their joint communique on Monday.To achieve an orderly political transition, the Council urges the government of Yemen and all parties to engage in constructive, comprehensive and inclusive dialogue, without delay, the joint statement said.President Saleh is a Western ally in the war on al-Qaeda. The crisis in the majority Sunni Muslim country also comes at a time of growing tension between Sunni power Saudi Arabia and Shia power Iran over Bahrain, with other EU members wary of stoking a sectarian conflict in the Arabian Gulf. Remarking on France's general attitude at the EU ministerial on Monday, one EU diplomat said its hawkish tone is linked to the fact that President Nicolas Sarkozy has an election to win next year.Another diplomat reported that France is not playing ball on letting Nato take over command of the Libyan no-fly operation from France, the UK and the US because they want to be the glorious ones.

Juppe was slippery on the Nato question. On one hand he said many countries feel the operation should occur under the flag of Nato. On the other hand he said that Arab countries do not want to see Nato in Libya. And he underlined that: It is not a Nato operation, but under the UN, with Arab countries, US and Canada and the European Union.Juppe and EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton both played down the idea of a split on Libya after Bulgaria, Germany, Poland and Malta - for a variety of reasons - said they would play no part in military action.I don't accept that we're in a situation that is comparable to what has happened in any other situation, particularly 2003, Ashton said, referring to the EU rift over Iraq.Germany reportedly said it is happy for Nato-earmarked resources to be used in the no-fly mission. Poland said it is keen to step in post-Gaddafi to use its own revolutionary experience to help build a new intelligence service, identify credible leaders in the opposition and set up a transitional parliament.In two statements in line with Gaddafi propaganda, Bulgarian leader Boyko Borisov on Monday said the Libya campaign is all about oil and the future exploitation of Libyan oil and Russian PM Vladimir Putin compared it to a medieval call to a crusade.A Bulgarian diplomat said the quote was taken out of context in a long interview and that Borisov later said the campaign was legitimate.Other EU diplomats noted there is genuine concern that the bombing campaign will not remove Gaddafi from power, raising the prospect either of an Iraq-type ground invasion led by France or of having to do business with Gaddafi again. The outcome is far from certain ... so some people are trying to undermine the coalition and to put themselves in first place [in terms of Gaddafi relations] if the coalition fails,an EU source said.

EU refuseniks justify staying out of Libya action
ANDREW RETTMAN Today MAR 21,11 @ 09:42 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Germany and Malta over the weekend gave fresh reasons for staying out of the EU-US-Arab attack on Colonel Gaddafi. Speaking in Der Spiegel on Sunday (20 March), German foreign minister Guido Westerwelle said he acted in a national tradition of military restraint and that Germany would have had to send soldiers to Libya if it had backed a UN resolution on the no-fly zone. We have considered this very carefully and made an important decision, he explained.Why does the West have primary responsibility instead of the countries in the region, the Arab League in particular? He added that the US can use German bases for anti-Gaddafi operations and that Germany will redeploy Awacs radar planes in Afghanistan to free-up US assets. He also noted that Germany has paid €5 million in aid for Libyan refugees.The Westerwelle remarks came after criticism from commentators and from the Social Democrat opposition party, which said the no-fly zone has nothing to do with sending German soldiers.Maltese leader Lawrence Gonzi told the Radio 101 station the same day that he will not let coalition forces use Maltese airports for security reasons.The prime minister re-iterated that his utmost priority was the country's security and as Malta had only one airport, it could not be placed in danger, a Maltese diplomat told this website. [He] said that the situation was a grievous one and [that] one had to be extremely careful what to say.Malta lies just 350km from Libya. In 1986 two Libyan scud missiles nearly hit the Italian island of Lampedusa 620km away.The African Union, China and Russia have also distanced themselves from Operation Odyssey Dawn.

Delegates from Congo, Mali, Mauritania, South Africa and Uganda at an African Union meeting in the Mauritanian capital, Nouakchott, over the weekend called for an immediate stop to avoid serious humanitarian consequences.The People's Daily newspaper, a Chinese government outlet, wrote in an editorial on Monday: The blood-soaked tempests that Iraq has undergone for eight years and the unspeakable suffering of its people are a mirror and a warning.Russian foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said: We believe a mandate given by the UN security council resolution - a controversial move in itself - should not be used to achieve goals outside its provisions.In a surprise statement, Arab League head Amr Moussa went back on his earlier support for the strikes.What has happened in Libya differs from the goal of imposing a no-fly zone and what we want is the protection of civilians and not bombing other civilians,he told press in Cairo on Sunday.

Political cover

The reactions follow a heavier-than-expected bombardment of Gaddafi targets. The assault began at 18.45 Libyan time on Saturday and involved British, French and US jets, submarines and warships.One cruise missile hit a Gaddafi bunker in Tripoli, with the Libyan leader's precise whereabouts unknown on Monday morning.The British, French and US-led operation has political cover from Muslim power Turkey and from Arab country Qatar, however.The Turkish foreign ministry said in a statement: Turkey will make the necessary and appropriate national contribution to implementing a UN no-fly zone over Libya and measures to protect civilians.Qatar is sending four Mirage 2000 fighters to take part in missions. There must be Arab states undertaking this action, because the situation there is intolerable, Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani told Al Jazeera.Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a leading Muslim theologian from Egypt, also speaking on Al Jazeera rebuffed Gaddafi's claim that the attack is a crusade.If Gaddafi was indeed a leader, he wouldn't kill his own people. A shepherd protects his flock,he said.

Final obective

Inside the coalition a difference of opinion has emerged between British defence minister Liam Fox and the chair of the US joint chiefs of staff, Mike Mullen. Speaking on the BBC's Politics Show on Sunday, Fox indicated the ultimate goal of the operation is regime change and that Gaddafi could be a legitimate target.Mission accomplished would mean the Libyan people free to control their own destiny. This is very clear – the international community wants his regime to end, he said.There is a difference between someone being a legitimate target and whether we go ahead and target him, he added.In remarks later the same day to NBC, Admiral Mullen voiced concern about exceeding the UN resolution writ on protecting civilians: The goals of this campaign are limited. It is not about seeing him [Gaddafi] go. It is about supporting the UN resolution.Asked if the objective could be fulfilled without Gaddafi leaving power, he said: This is one outcome.

Obama: Other Allies Will Soon Lead Libya Action
by Chana Ya'ar MAR 21,11

U.S. President Barack Obama told reporters at a news conference with Chilean President Sebastian Pinera on Monday that it's time for Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi to go.The military objective of Allied forces in Libya, Obama said, is to protect civilians from attacks by forces loyal to Qaddafi, not to oust the dictator from power.However, he said, the official U.S. policy is that Qaddafi needs to go, and added that there is a wide range of tools in addition to our military efforts to support that policy.Obama said the U.S. also expects to transfer its lead in the military operations to other Allied forces in a matter of days, and not in a matter of weeks.The U.S. military is already stretched, he said. Whenever it's possible for us to be able to get international cooperation... in terms of planes and pilots and resources, that's something we should actively seek and embrace. It relieves the burden on the U.S. military and on U.S. taxpayers.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Israel Hurriedly Handing Over Jerusalem Compound to Russia
by Gil Ronen MAR 21,11

The State of Israel is rapidly evacuating Sergei's Court in central Jerusalem and will hand it over to the Russian Embassy on Tuesday.Diplomatic sources said that the hurried move is being carried out after Russia made it clear to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu that it will cancel his planned visit to Moscow next week if Israel does not carry out its commitment to transfer the compound into Russia's hands.The decision to hand over the court was made in 2008, and was formally announced when then-Prime Minister Ehud Olmert visited Russia. The ownership was transferred to Russia but Israel continued a de facto presence in the compound, which currently contains the Jerusalem offices of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Society for Protection of Nature. Olmert bowed to Russian diplomatic pressure at the time, and news reports said the relinquishing of the compound was part of an agreement between Russia and Israel that included Russia's abstaining from supplying Iran with sophisticated ground-to-air missiles.

Sergei's Court was owned by Great Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, the uncle of Tzar Nicolai II, in his capacity as the chairman of the Imperial Orthodox Palestinian Society (IOPS).After the October Revolution, the Soviet government of the USSR claimed to be the legal heir of the property. However, White Russian immigrants established an IOPS abroad, and that branch claimed to be the real IOPS, thus creating a dispute.Since 1952, the Israeli General Guardian has had formal legal guardianship and ownership rights to the property. At the beginning of the 1970's, the buildings were leased to the Israel Society for Protection of Nature and the Ministry of Agriculture.Since diplomatic relations were re-established between Israel and the Soviet Union in the 1980's, the Soviets – and subsequently, the Russians – have repeatedly demanded ownership over the property.The property is part of a larger compound known as the Russian Compound. Most of that property was legally bought by Israel from the Soviet Union in the 1950s. Lacking cash, Israel paid for the property with a large shipment of oranges. (IsraelNationalNews.com)

Hamas Offers Ceasefire After Death Threat and Air Strike
by Chana Ya'ar MAR 21,11

Hamas has offered a ceasefire if Israel will stop its retaliation for terror rocket and mortar attacks on its citizens in the western Negev.If the enemy stops the escalation and aggression against our people we will implement the Palestinian national agreement, said the Izz a-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, in a statement issued shortly after an air strike by the Israel Air Force Monday night.The Palestinian national agreement is a reference to the truce agreed upon by Gaza's primary terrorist groups in January.Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon also warned Monday that Hamas leaders were in the crosshairs.If Hamas decides to escalate, we will put an end to it, Ayalon said in a Hebrew-language interview broadcast on Voice of Israel government radio. We have several actions [available to us] before putting ground forces in Gaza, including direct threats against Hamas leaders, he warned.The terrorist rulers of Gaza made the offer after Ayalon's threat, and after Israeli fighter pilots struck a terrorist tunnel and a cell of operatives. Direct hits were confirmed, according to the IDF Spokesperson's Office.According to local witnesses quoted by AFP, at least one terrorist was wounded in the air strike.

Local sources claimed the target was a car repair shop owned by the Doghmush clan, which is connected to the Army of Islam terror group. The Army of Islam is linked to the international al-Qaeda terrorist organization.This week alone, 56 mortars and missiles fired by Gaza terrorists have exploded in southern Israeli towns.More than 130 attacks emanating from the Hamas-ruled region have struck southern Israel since the beginning of January.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

State: Jerusalem's Small Kotel is Not a Holy Site
by Gil Ronen MAR 21,11

The State's representatives have determined that the Kotel HaKatan (Small Kotel or Small Wailing Wall), a wall which is a continuation of the Kotel in Jerusalem, is not a holy site. The statement was submitted to the court as part of the reply to a damages lawsuit filed by a group of Jews who prayed at the Small Kotel on Rosh HaShana of 5767 (2006).One member of the group, Elihu Kleiman, was arrested after he blew the ram's horn, or shofar. The group of Jews who sued for damages also said they were beaten by police, who denied them their freedom to worship at a holy site.

The Small Kotel is nothing but an inner courtyard of several residential homes in the Muslim quarter, the State determined in its response.Like the Kotel, the Kotel HaKatan is an exposed face of the original western wall of the Temple Mount, built by King Herod over 2,000 years ago. However, compared to its famous bigger brother, the Small Wall is less accessible and looks less impressive: it is barely 10 meters long, less of its height has been exposed and its plaza is much narrower.In fact, however, the Kotel HaKatan can be considered holier than the better known Kotel, because it is located 200 yards to the north – and therefore practically opposite the actual site of the Holy of Holies in the original Holy Temples.Attorney Daniel Robins, who represents the group of Jews who were praying at the site in 2006 and who sued the State, told Arutz Sheva's Hebrew-language service that Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovich, the Kotel Rabbi, testified before the court as to the sanctity of the site, but the State rejected the power of Jewish Law to determine the site's sanctity.Robins said that he hopes the State is not acting out of political considerations in rejecting the sanctity of the Kotel HaKatan. He noted that the site is included in the area that Defense Minister Ehud Barak wants to hand over to the Arabs in a peace deal.Work recently began on refurbishing the Small Kotel plaza.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
