- Thread starter Durry
- Start date
The rebels chased assorted Canadian rig hands off their rigs at gun point and burned the rigs. It was in the news, and mentioned in the threads on Libya, assorted times at the outset of the rebellion.
Great now let's see the United Nations enforce it..
One issue of enforcing it is Libya's sam sites and the best possible way to deal with them is using Predator strike drones..

If we are destined to fight in/over Libya with the U.N., we have to be best pals. We should have just left the solution to Great Briton, France and the Arab League. Lets just hope the fighting ends quickly.
No one should have gotten involved except maybe the Arab league.
You do know why the West was bound to get involved right.
It's not rocket science, it's almost always why they get involved.
Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained with stupidity. We're talking about the United Nations here. Timing isn't their strong suit.
The west was involved the minute Libya let them invest in their oil exploration and ship people over there to work. With the profit comes the entanglement.
You need it because you use too much of it......people die for it....it costs you billions in offense for it....it's sucking you dry.
You give more money in oil subsidies than you do in R&D for alternative energy.
When the profitability fades away, they'll move on to the alternative energy. Right now though the tax payers absorb so much of the cost via 'defense' budgets that it has yet to eat into the profitability for the oil companies. One day that defense budget will dry up though. It'll mean a major shift in the global structure... scary to think.
This could have been dealt with over thirty years ago....instead here we are, fighting for a dirty energy.
Next up, water.
"...will take the lead...? That doesn't mean anything.
The war against Serbia showed that there was only one air force in NATO capable of doing the heavy lifting. This operation has no end game. It will go on and on whether America provides only logistics or puts bombs on target. This operation will be a bleeding wound for Prince Hamlet, America's beloved leader.
