Yes the french sold them to Libya. I hope this is short lived as the UK should not be there as it's all about the oil.

Failed to see the Falklands joke i see!

 

[Firestar_3x]

anyone still watching sky? the guy said the French planes were jamming/blocking radar? i thought the president just meant he was stopping any gaddafi aircraft from flying, or is this the same thing? sorry for noobness

You destroy / disrupt the ability for the enemy to communicate / organize (command and control), you then take out key assets, see what happens.

Also helps to stops things like his surface to air working, he would be foolish to stick some aircraft up in the air.

I hate this oil argument that keeps popping up. This is a dictator slaughtering thousands of his own people.

Why? You don't like the truth or you don't think this is anything to do with oil?

As firestar says, our leaders are masters of propaganda.

No need to worry as the Libyans will use them against ships of the desert.

Well we don't care about the thousands of people dying. There are plenty of other places in the world this is occurring and we don't bat an eye. So if you're saying then it also isn't the oil, then I have no other clue as to the benefit of intervening, so why exactly are we there?

Actually you said that, not Firestar

 

[m4rk84]

Can you not see that if it was about oil the best thing to do would have been to sit back and do and say nothing?

Gaddafi was always going to win a civil war, after which Libya would have gone back to supplying oil in the exact same way it always has.

He might not realise that he is being conned but that is the measure of how good at propaganda they are. Politicians are basically smooth conmen, salesmen, actors. They are great at fooling people and making their BS sound legitimate.

I heard that we had no money that's why we are cutting back on schools and health care ect

So I hope that we get a good deal on CHEAP oil if it works out for the US\UK\French

edit=have I missed a joke again?

Do you think ibrahim moussa has a point when saying "you have no right to interfere with our internal affairs?" I personally think he's a bit of a knob. Ignoring oil for a second, why should we sit back and watch gaddafi kill his own people?

Skynews just said no fly zone controlled by USA.

The country is just about bankrupt according to one scaremonger on sky news before.

Of course.

I personal thing he's a bit of a knob. Ignoring oil for a second, why should we sit back and watch gaddafi kill his own people?

First of all, I don't know who he is killing - and I'm not going to automatically take the word of the Western governments and media for it because they have an appalling track record of mistakes or downright lies and disinformation.

Secondly, if his forces are fighting and killing rebel forces, why is this automatically bad or wrong. Gadaffi is the legitimate leader of the country, he has been for 40 years and he still is under international law. Is he not entitled to put down a coup attempt? I believe he is fully entitled.

Do the people of Libya get to vote who they want in power?

Scaremonger, you mean someone who spoke the unpalatable truth? You know, a country with a debt of over £1 trillion, which spends £100m a day on interest on that debt, and which has to borrow ~£3bn a week in order to plug the gap between taxes and spending, is not in a good financial position.

 

[Firestar_3x]

No it's not a good finance position and we have Labour to thank for that, but we are far from bankrupt.
