starting this thread, which i hope will be short-lived, to keep the board up to date with latest reports gleaned from the net

George.W was a hothead, but Obanana is a coward

Check the civilian loss of life from the No Fly Zone in Iraq.

If the "West" attempt to do so without aid from Egypt, Tunisia and AL then they would have to commit themselves to land invasion.

I am sure Aids and BM would be first to volunteer themselves and family.

obama is a none person .

Other points.

Obamma is the CEO of the USA corporation and is considering which action is the best financial action for the "state".

If he is going to get involved his base is a weak economy to sustain the costs of doing so. And he has a demoralise Military forces.

Also, he has to ask the question of where next, Bahrain or Israel.

Perhaps he will ask the opinion of the AL.

I wouldn't like to take his responsibility, but at least he does consider the aftermath and consequences of military action.

Remember the actions from Vietnam on, different scale. At the moment!

Perhaps, Tanker would put his head on the block too.

Oil Prices up.

Blame it on the labour government!

Interesting developments tonight.

The French and British airforces might take out Gaddafi's tanks on the ground as well as imposing a no fly zone,......not sure of that but that's what seems to be included in the UN resolution.

and bomb Gadaffis house to kill him.

being a cynical old chap (moi??) i do wonder quite why the UN resolutrion took quite so long and also, from one report, why it will not be until monday/tuesday that this action is implemented

By that time the war will be over and there will be no need for them....typical.....

did i ever suggest such a thing?

I think that I shall make you head of the armed forces in my government reshuffle....

Monday at the earliest as the RAF don't work weekends!

Do not want to pay Sat/Sun overtime rates.

Maybe the RAF are using their two planes to ferry Royals about.

Tanker,

"fred . weak people make the world what it has become . it is the same at school .bullies rule "

Stalin, MAO, Sadam, Mubarak, Hitler, Gaddafi, Blair, Bush, Bush, "cameron" were or are strong leaders. Look where it has got the world.

I prefer Obama considered approach, but wonder what the outcome will be.

Still think that Gaddafi will be gone sooner than I originally thought, but what will replace him.

Noticed Petrol price today of 145p.

Was one of the strong men "Bush senior" a friend of the Saudi elite.

Or was he just getting a back hander for selling them weapons or buying oil?
