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 would have sorted it out. Obanana is a pussy.

We are still trying to sort out the mess that Bush & Blair got us into.

Gadaffe has it in the bag. He will punnish the poor protestors, and their family's.

What will the West do. Talk a lot of punishment, and silly sanctions which will further hurt the population. Bet you he gets his billions back. Russia, and China will be kissing his ass.

very easy to say "we" should have gone in with all guns blazing, but only a little thought and consideration reveals the very deep crevasses into which that would have led ..... on the other hand, had AL said, "And our airforces are ready to back you up", then it would have been a different story ...... so who's the pussy?

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!

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....
