Update on Iceland –Economy Mend Iceland Stuffs Bankers Second Time
“Icelanders have rejected a depositor claims agreement with Britain and Netherlands for a second time in as many years as voters signalled they did not want tax funds to cover foreign losses by a private bank.
Initial results showed 59.1 per cent of voters said ”no” to the so-called Icesave agreement, while 40.9 per cent said ”yes”, based on figures published by a regional electorate commission, with about 90 per cent of votes counted.
”This matter will now be settled in the European Free Trade Association’s court,” Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir said.
The government had hoped Icesave would restore investor relations and end the isolation that has stalled Iceland’s resurrection from its banking collapse.”

Gerald Celente of Trends Research Institute asks “would the United States be in Iraq if their major export was broccoli or would they be in Libya if they weren’t holding on to the sweetest of sweet crude oil on the planet?”

So, we know Libya doesn’t grow broccoli, plus Sr. aka the Godfather loathes the green veggie, so, we must be over there for the oil AND maybe to steal the billions in gold bullion Gaddafi has on hand.

AP via Yahoo is reporting Canadian General will lead NATO actions in Libya
TORONTO – A Canadian general will take over command of the NATO mission in Libya.
Canadian Defense Minister Peter MacKay said Friday that Lt. Gen. Charles Bouchard has been designated to lead the alliance’s military campaign in Libya.
Bouchard is stationed in Naples, Italy, at the Allied Joint Force Command.
Bouchard’s recent job was deputy commander of NORAD, reporting to an American general.
“He will be commander of the NATO operations, yet to be fully defined NATO operations,” MacKay said.
The international coalition confronting Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi has agreed to put NATO in charge of enforcing the no-fly zone. It was still trying to hammer out a deal to relieve U.S. forces of command of all military operations in the country.
U.S. President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates have both said that American command of the operations would last only a few days.
