Libya

[steppenwolf]

As I have heard Britain is transfering airplanes to the basses near Lybia. What do people from Britain think about this?

[C64]

Bomb Gadaffi and his mob to kingdom come!

[bonus2010]

I'm just fed-up with Britain interfering in other countries affairs. I often wonder what other peoples around the world must think of the British.

[super jumbe]

Hear we go again, you know what this will happen, the Libyan assailam seekers poring into UK mainland and costing the UK tax payers another thousands, when are we going to stop.

At this stage it's more likely an indirect threat. America use this all the time, if they don't like what you're doing & you refuse to bow to their will... They start filling airbases around the area with hardware & personnel. They never say 'we will invade' but they know how to make it look like they will.

Most of our forces will be there for emergency airlifts & possibly patrolling the no-fly-zone that has been requested through the UN.


This is very different to Iraq & Afghanistan. The people in Libya want him & the government removed. The various tribes are working together to help over throw the current government. Everything is pointing to a democratic state if/when the government capitulates.

There isn't many of us left mate to go to Italy after SDSR and the fact we are spread out across Afghanistan and the Falklands..

Quick tip to the Govt.:

If you want to fight 2 wars concurrently don't chop all the Harriers, 2 Tornado squadrons and a third of the Navy... Oh.. too late

[Bulld0g]

Our troops are stretched enough, Theyre being sent all around the world its a ~~~~in joke. It's a civil war and ~~~~ all to do with us. Let the Arab nations sort it out if it needs to.

That is not right attitude mate. My country was bombed at the end of 20th century. Bombs in Europe. Bombs on Christians. NATO bombed cause of Milosevic regime. I don't care about him, but I will never forgive murdered children. They had nothing to do with civil war and with politics and yet they are not alive.The whole operation was called "merciful angel". What was merciful? What a terribile Irony. If they start dropping bombs people is who will hurt most not Gadaffi.

You are great people. I respect your history a lot and there is no matter what someone thinks of you. Lot of people thinks that Serbs are bad but this is just stupid generalisation. War or no war, big heads are doing it for they own reasons, they don't give a sh**t about ideals they talk so much about.

Start watching some Michael Moore movies.

Hear we go again, you know what this will happen, the Libyan assailam seekers poring into UK mainland and costing the UK tax payers another thousands, when are we going to stop.

It is all about that.

This is very different to Iraq & Afghanistan. The people in Libya want him & the government removed.

People was also against Sadam Hussein. People is mixed up mate. Not all the people are against Gadaffi and maybe even not a mojority.

It's a civil war and ~~~~ all to do with us. Let the Arab nations sort it out if it needs to.

Civil war - amin to that mate.

Fighting two wars simultaneously is awesome, it worked really well for Hitler... oh wait.

[barrowmanandrew]

shouldn't be anywhere near it...

it got nothing to do with us.
the ministry of defence should concentrate on defence ffs.

we went into Iraq and cant get...
we went into Afganistan and cant get out...
(seems to be a pattern developing here)

Gadaffi is obviously a ~~~~in nutter and a bsterd, but its not the job of the British to police the world.......

britain need to concentrate in getting our soldiers out of these wars, not getting involved in another one....

[SOB60]

It would appear that because we are allies with the U.S.A we are bound by this to stand along side them in any military intervention, despite the fact of weather we agree with the situation or not.
We are drastically running short of troops to despatch anywhere with the sad losses we have entailed in iraq etc and will shortly have no military aircraft or Ships like the Ark Royal due to cut backs.

As much as I would like to see Gaddaffi eradicated and the country given some form of rights for the people returned, not at the loss of more British Troops

[C64]

That is not right attitude mate.

Your arse.

I didn't say 'bomb the people'.

I said bomb that lunatic Gadaffi, his idiot Son and all his henchmen.

[badapple]

Bomb Gadaffi and his mob to kingdom come!

WHAT!!!
BOMB OUR GOOD FRIEND GADSFFI?

Blair loves a dictator when it benefits him.

Obama loves a dictator when it benefits him

Brown loves a dictator when it benefits him.

When our great leaders need oil & votes they kiss the ass of the dictators. When the dictators don't play OUR game we bumb them!

[C64]

Blair loves a dictator when it benefits him.

I don't recall Gaddafi instructing troops to open fire on civilians when those pictures were taken, do you?

In the past few week he has proven he is not fit to lead a his country, did you see his threats to the people of Benghazi before the UN issued their No-Fly ultimatum?

[tshirtman]

it's all a load of bollox

This week, troops from Saudi Arabia entered Bahrain to stamp out the protests, and to protect government/royal family buildings.
did we hear any criticism from any European government,
was the Americans up in arms.(who just happen to have there Navy's Fifth Fleet based in Bahrain),
did any western government criticise the Saudi or Bahraini royal families about the treatment of there civilians.

NOT A WORD!

w***ers, the lot of them,

and come to think about it, why hasn't any western government done anything to protect the people of Zimbabwe from there loony dictator, I wonder why.
