Libya's oil supply has already been cut off/destroyed. Its not going to make a difference now, IMO.

Khaddaffi treated to throw all oil in the sea..And literally burn The Mediterranean Sea. Lucky the city with the oil is in the hands of the rebels Two Arabian countries will join France/UK...

Two Arab nations? whom?


No idea;..I am just following the news and they said that two Arabian countries are ready to help and will join;..But don't know if this is just romor;.Or already confirmed..More information I guess in a few hours.

From what I hear, RAF and France are sending planes in now.

Resolution states that any nation may take any action to stop Quadaffi, sans landing troops. Vote passed 10-5 with the major players abstaining like China and Russia. I guess the French UN ambassador told the Chinese off, mentioning them supressing the Jasmine Revolution.

I'm still not sure if I'm for this. If the UK, France, ect want to intervene, that is fine, but I think the US should of stayed out of it.


good thing france and spain didnt just "stay out of it", eh?

That's for them to decide.

My problem is that (from my view) Europe constantly complains about what America does in terms of interventionism, but never will take the lead in doing anything like this, unless we do it first. For once, I'd like the US to let the Europeans handle it and see how easy it is.

Like the Suez war where France and UK had to withdraw under pressure of countries like USA?  And to be serious Iraq or Libya is a huge difference... And I thought Europe was this time divided aswell..



 

Awesome news, but this took far too long.

At least it's happening before the attack on Benghazi.  Gaddafi was only days away from retaking the entire counry.



"We cannot let these warmongers do this, we cannot abandon civilians."

He added: "We should not arrive too late."

 

Now they say this, after Gaddafi's troops already killed thousands of people. Somehow ironic.

Also, I doubt the no-fly zone will make much of a difference now, Gaddafi is near winning the war. Too little, too late, UN.

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

Not sure days though, He planned to attack this night.

Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi said his troops to attack the rebel stronghold Benghazi on the night of Thursday to Friday commitment. In a radio speech Thursday, he said: "We come tonight" and there will be no mercy. "

Benghazi tonight, then the rest of the country over the coming days.  Though there wouldn't be that much left he'd have to take.



Will it have much effect now though? This should have been resolved much earlier, if it's not too late now, Gaddafi got his butcher's bill anyway..



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

"One official said Jordan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates were among possible participants"
