As with most commentators they simply talk about parts of the UN resolution that suits them In this whole piece there is nothing about a ceasefire or negotiated solution unless I missed it, Notice too that there is nothing about the involvement of the CIA both in terms of guiding bombing and intelligence 0on the ground or the fact that the newly appointed commander of the rebel military Khalifa Hefter is in all probability a CIA operative. For the last two decaades he has lived in Virginia five miles from the CIA headquarters in Langley. Oh well the CIA and Al Qaeda are comrades again just like old times.
Cheers Ken.
