Is NATO commiting WAR CRIMES in Libya out of frustration with slow pace of rebel victories?

[Distant Observer]

Is NATO committing war crimes in Libya out of frustration, whether they are killing soldiers or civilians in "out of bounds" attacks. Who would have imagined when hearing calls for No-Fly-Zone that we would be seeing bombings of Villas, TV stations, Ships thousands of miles from the Benghazi population that sought UN protection.

So far the "Coalition" has not been able to achieve its unofficial agenda of replacing the ruling regime in Libya. Russia has charged that they are going beyond the resolution by the predominance of strikes outside areas of conflict - eg Tripoli. Now they are using the excuse of the use of "inflatable boats" in Misrata for destroying docked Libyan ships.
Ted Carpenter, vice-president for defense and foreign policy at the Washington-based Cato Institute, has argued that the Coalition is just using the UN as a false pretext for regime change:"The reality is that the protection of civilians may be a secondary goal of the intervention, but the real goal is to unseat Muammar Gaddafi." Actions in Libya, he argues, go beyond the UNSC resolutoin.

Does that mean that NATO is commiting war crimes when they kill civilians or soldiers in some of these "unjustifiable" stikes. How many Libyan's have to die before we conclude that the intervention is costing more in lives that it is possibly protecting.

NATO Warplanes Attack Libyan Ships

TRIPOLI, Libya — NATO warplanes attacked eight Libyan ships on Thursday night in three coastal locations, including the port of Tripoli, expanding the air campaign against what allied officials said was an increasing seaborne threat from Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s forces.

At midnight in Tripoli, Libyan officials escorted journalists to a highway overpass above the Mediterranean shore to show them what they said was a private yacht that had been hit in one of the airstrikes.
. . .
Allied officials said, in particular, that an episode last Monday underscored the need to take action against the seaborne threat. That morning, NATO sent warships and helicopters after detecting two rigid-hull inflatable boats that appeared to have come from around Zliten and were headed toward Misurata on the western coast, allied officials said.

The West will control that oil by any means necessary outside of humanitarian means,
They don't give a flying fugg who dies as long as China and Russia don't get that oil

Moral bankruptcy in Libya war

Foreign intervention in Libya is fuelled by ulterior motives, not goodwill
