UK wants Libyan revolutionaries armed
2011-03-15
[Iran Press TV] British Foreign Secretary William Hague has said international powers should arm Libyan revolutionary forces before the country's ruler Muammar Qadaffy kills more people.

Hague voiced concerns over the violent actions of Qadaffy's regime towards Libyan revolutionaries and called for anti-government forces to be armed as soon as possible.

He said Qadaffy's stay in power equals a "nightmare" for Libyan people.

UK and La Belle France have called for more pressure on the embattled Libyan ruler, saying he has lost legitimacy.

British Prime Minister David Cameron
... British PM Cameron describes himself as a modern compassionate conservative and has spoken of a need for a new style of politics that doesn't involve calling people names. He has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's probably not. He has also claimed to be a liberal Conservative, and a very tall short person. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has urged politicians to concentrate on improving people's happiness and general well-being, instead of focusing solely on financial wealth, which is easy for a stockbroker's kid to say. Ask him to lend you ten quid and see how that works out. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ...
and French President Nicolas Sarkozy have warned Qadaffy to leave and made clear they would enforce a no-fly-zone if they gain international support.

Hague further said, "This is the kind of subject which has to be discussed with our international partners and those discussions are now taking place... If Qadaffy went on to be able to dominate much of the country, well, this would be a long nightmare for the Libyan people and this would be a pariah state for some time to come."

He is also to attend a conference of G8 foreign ministers in Gay Paree on Monday which will discuss the future of Libya after the revolutionary forces overcome Qadaffy's regime.

#7  The EUroweenies want the US to "do something".

Why don't we tell EU to do something? Cause we the USA are like Lord Vader. We can kill the entire Libyan theatre with a just a thought and a little bit of the force. They, however, need to get off their arses and do something beside offering really good food, tis doubtful they can do much of anything, not our problem though. But we seem to enjoy taking on everyone's problems here to the point where we dilute our force to where there is a disturbance in it. In fact, EU, we'll sit this one out, you do the lion's share this round.

#4  Sorry, Dribble - you're still not going to get nominated for a Nobel in Online Literature.

I would've cut that down just to the second sentence. And added "It's too late anyway."

You do love the sound of your own voice.

The EUroweenies will all "talk" about it and break for Tea and a smoke.

Daffy is gonna kill people and nobody is gonna do dick about it.
Obama will make a speech and shake Nancy's hand.
And somebody will fart. Free Tibet and save the baby seals.
WWJD and get a Credit Card.

NObody will help the Libyans. They are completely on their own. Daffy has about 5,000 mercenaries and they will bomb the Libyans from the air and run over them with the treads. The rebels will run around and around shouting Ya Allah until they get a 90mm and BarBQ.

The Brits and Sarkozy will squeal, squat, and flap their elbows.
Does anyone in the US really care what happens to the Moslems in some north african boogahole? I mean really. Finish your breakfast.
The EUroweenies want the US to "do something". What? Like we did getting rid of Saddam? They were certainly a BIG help with that. And the Libyans would just love us to death if we showed up. Yeah? Daffy wont have enough numbers to kill everybody and he wont be able to establish himself solidly. His military spare parts bill will go through the roof. The whole Libyan state will turn into a maggot and pus filled abbatoir. What with the stink the buzzards will faint and drop out of the air.
PLUS they are all Moslems.
Lets all play screwem?
