Thank you.

This is James Corbett of Corporate Report.

With your Sunday update for this third day of April 2011.

In our top story this week, the man commonly referred to as President Obama attempted to give a justification for the American-led NATO-fronted humanitarian bombing

of Libyan civilians this week, but his speech was roundly criticized by both those on the left

and the right after failing to give any justification whatsoever for these undeclared

acts of war on a target that poses no security risk to any of the coalition bombing participants.

Obama's speech is also being taken to task for failing to address the point

that coalition forces have been demonstrated to be fighting with Al-CIA to fighters in

Libya, that an admitted CIA operative Khalifa Hifter has been appointed to lead the rebel opposition, or The weeks before the kinetic military action, otherwise known as

illegally undeclared war, first started.

Now, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

Admiral Mike Mullen have appeared before Congress to not answer questions about what is happening,

why it is happening, or how it will end.

Twelve days into the U.S US bombing of Libya, US congressmen were hoping to finally get some answers.

But after two hours of questioning the Secretary of Defense and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, there was still confusion about

the U.S.'s end game.

I think a policy success would be the removal of the Qadhafi regime. The military mission is a limited one and does not include regime change.

Who the rebels are?

We don't have much visibility into those who have risen against

Gaddafi. Each element has its own agenda. And whether the U.S. will arm them.

Discuss our plans, if any, regarding arming the rebels.
