You can't go stealing a countries oil, under the guise of a humanitarian intervention willy nilly. It takes time...

QUOTE (Blake @ Mar 9 2011, 04:17 PM) bombing innocent people in discos Do you mean this one? http://www.williambowles.info/syria_lebano...rlin_disco.html 'cos he may not have been involved at all. If we did get rid of him, who would we sell our tear gas, riot shields, cattle prods, ammunition etc..to? Remember, we've flogged him nearly 34 million quids worth of gear so far.

QUOTE (spartacus @ Mar 9 2011, 07:29 PM) We should let those Libyans who want to stand up for their country against their despotic leader get on with it....

QUOTE (user23 @ Mar 9 2011, 08:49 PM) What do you know about "the resistance" Blake?
I'm just wondering why you're supporting them. I think his comments make that crystal clear

QUOTE (Blake @ Mar 10 2011, 09:16 AM) I think Gaddafi needs to me eliminated in the interests of democracy and stability in the region.
It was our former disgraced PM Tony who cosied up to him, to our shame.
The resistance is an authentic move for political and social change and democracy. We should be ready to support freedom when it emerges, rather than seeing it crushed. Libya is near enough for us to take action and it is for the right reasons. The right reasons - you mean OIL.

QUOTE (Blake @ Mar 10 2011, 10:52 AM) Oil has nowt to do with this. It only has 2% of world supplies, not much.
We must defend freedom and stop genocide. There is a long, long list of dictators that need removing then. Odd how they never get calls for action against them.

That's been tried before and look at the mess that got us into. Anyway, the Libyan insurgents have stated quite clearly they don't want foreign intervention.

Anyway, the Libyan insurgents have stated quite clearly they don't want foreign intervention. I was not talking about marching in, I was referring to air strikes with the aim of eliminating Gaddafi himself.
