Arab League switched sides and now those clowns are objecting UN resolution, bunch of fucking traitors. Don't you think that these clowns are now scared after all the recent manifestatons that their own days are coming to an end? Obviously that's why they are in to mess with the resolution.

Well I hope this stupid actions of theirs frees US hands so now the government can give some real support to all the struggling people in the Middle East. Every VGCharter who is unfortunate to live under the dictatorship, don't be afraid anymore! Arab people should go out into the streets and show will and unity, together we will throw down all those bloody sheikhs and fucking sultans!


Notice that Libya is begging for a cease fire again, but I noticed that Gaddafi still isn't meeting Obama's demands for a cease fire. Obama clearly said that Gaddafi had to pull all his troops from the Eastern half of Libya, he had to pull all his troops from Zawiya and Misrata, and restore power, water and allow humanitarian aid in. But Gaddafi isn't doing any of that.

Also does anyone wonder if their will be no boots on the ground who is going to bring the UN aid in? The medical supplies and food? Are we just going to drop shit loads of aid off in the harbour near Benghazi and hope the rebels distribute it evenly to the people? If so what about Misrata and Zawiya? We going to air drop medical supplies and food into the city and hope the civilians can unify and distribute it.

As for this being an example to all the middle east, I'd hate to see this happen across the middle east. A bloody civil war in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain , Yemen etc...etc... Now in some cases like Syria and Iran where the Government is killing protestors and imprisoning them for up to 20 years, yah I would think a good ass kicking is in order.

However I think peaceful demonstration's with support from the West would be far more effective in most of the middle east. Obama already condemned sending Saudi troops into Bahrain, if protestors can keep up the pressure in Bahrain and else where I'm sure a peaceful over throw could be carried out.

Also if this continues to happen across the Middle East (Violent wars) the UN could not contain it. Their aren't enough resources within the US and its allies to impose no fly zones over a few more countries. I heard on the news that this no fly zone could be using up to a 1,000 fighter jets. That is alot of fire power and even the great and mighty US doesn't have another 1,000-2,000 additional fighter jets to impose another one or two no fly zones!

Your very wrong about the bit I've highlighted in bold. Obama never condemned anyone. The GCC (which is basically dominated by Saudi Arabia) went in with tactic US approval. Robert Gates went to Bahrian days before the the invasion by Saudi troops and without green light from the US, Saudi Arabia would never have sent in troops. If you read any of the US statements all they do is call for restraint, not for withdrawal. Remember the US Fifth Fleet is based in Bahrain and it's possible if the country becomes democratic they majority of the population would ask for it's removal. This is realpolitik, nothing humanitarian about any of this including the bombing of Libya.
