He has nothing to fight with really, as above he will be hoping everyone backs down this is all swept under the carpet and he can stay in power, question now is how to you get him out of power without going on land.

Some of his close supporters may well see some sense and topple him.
 
I don;t see what people are getting so worked up about.

It excludes an invasion and rebels and gadaffi forces can still fight. It is there to stop civilians being killed.
 
they cant still fight because it doesnt just exclude intervention...


the rebels would always claim they have been killing civilians to get outside help anyway, i bet we dont get any peace keepers because its not what the UN wnats they want gaddafi gone

Exactly and it’s trying to make sure that there isn’t a bloodbath in Benghazi with its million citizens.

News reports are saying there is still fighting and uk/france don't seem to be bothered about it and are just going to do missions/fly overs to keep a visual on what's happening on the ground.
 
1427: Iyad El-Baghdadi tweets: "To those asking about Gaddafi's "cease fire", it's a pathetic ploy. Attacks on Misrata continue and shooting protesters continues."

:o

The rebels have been "finding" weapons that the Egyptians have accidentally "misplaced" near the border for some weeks.

Long may that continue.

My point is that, i'm sick of our politicians Cameron et al (and other international PM's, presidents etc) talking about the humanitarian need to be there...its the right thing to do blah blah blah! No you snakeskin hypocrites, its not coz we want to help people suffering its coz we want X resource that that the country has but we figure we will put a humanitarian wrapper around OUR warmongering and insidious planning and that no-one will notice.

Basically jackals figuring that Libya's international position is somewhat weakened so lets go in for the kill. Yay for international politics.

Last time i checked Libya was still a sovereign state...so we dont like the regime...tough got nothing to do with us....

True!!

Many things go behind the scenes which don't come on the public media.

:rolleyes:

So what resources have we/allies got from all the africa nations we've sent in pacekeepers or had operations in. What resources did allies get from serbia and other such places.

helping countrys is not new and it is not restrained to oil rich countries.

why has France had a sudden U-turn, seeing as they didn't want war with Iraq.

If a regime starts killing a lot of it's own citizens we have a moral imperative to try to stop it if we can - whether there is oil there or not ...

FIXED, nothing to stop civilians being killed by the civil war on the ground, just won't be any more bombings by air.

And this ceasefire is nothing more than him playing around with the UN resolution trying to make the countries involved look silly...

The rebels won't stop now with support by air.
 
Acidhell, dont you have to prove the humanitarian case rather than trying to avoid/deflect the issue? :rolleyes:

Why aren't we passing UN resolutions protecting the civilians being murdered by bahraini police/army?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12755852

Is it because the west has too much invested with our pals Bahrain/UAE and Saudi Arabia perhaps? So when they do exactly what Gaddafi does we just wave our finger at them tut tut.

How are the situations different? Why do we turn a blind eye to the deaths in Bahrain but we interject in Libya?
