I just don't want you accidently outing yourself to the new folks in here like you did before.
Thanks. I`m surprised I havn`t been scolded for it, as of yet.

They know now that after having taken out the technical forces of Ghadafi that his ground troops are a bunch of ground based machine gun shooters.
This would be the right time for Turkey to open up some trade for the new Egyptian government forces to go in and make some ground peace on Libya, thus integrating Libya into Egypt's sphere of influence.

Le West takes out Libyan crap from the air, while Egyptian forces show how cool they are with the new order by marching in to hammer down the final parts of Libya mercenaries.
Egypt gets to expand influence over that stupid piece of retarded deserts, and peace begins so I need to know something.
I can trade lamb for carpets with Iran in order to hold peace.
What the @#$% does Libya have to trade? Goats?
Do they have that kind of dear spraying musk from their ankles to make perfume, like Morocco has?

There was ample coverage of the loss of a US F-15 fighter jet over Libya Tuesday, and it always came with reassurances that the crew was safe. Less safe, however, were a group of Libyan civilians who came to the aid of one of the crew.
That’s because the civilians who met the plane’s weapons officer and offered him fruit juice while he waited to be rescued were attacked by US Marines during the brief ground incursion meant to rescue the crew. Some of the reports suggest the Marines arrived in a V-22 Osprey attack helicopter and opened fire on the crowd with it.
Six Libyan civilians were shot in the attack, including a young boy who local hospital officials say may lose his leg because of the attack. The weapons officer had been found in a sheep field and was met by the civilians, who were backers of the anti-Gadhafi rebellion.
The incident is news not just for the tragic outcome, but because despite the explicit UN prohibition on “occupation troops” being spun as a broad prohibition on ground troops, US Marines were indeed on the ground, in Libya, in a field full of sheep.
*lmao*
The pilot was initially picked up by rebel soldiers, who the Marines reported treated him “with dignity and respect” before handing him over to the troops. It does not appear there was any incident with regards to him. The Marines have yet to comment on the shootings in the recovery of the weapons officer.
The F-15 was flying out of Italy at the time of the crash, and officials are blaming a system malfunction. It is the first aircraft reported lost since the US and France started the Libyan War on Saturday. An F-15E Strike Eagle costs approximately $31 million.

V-22 Osprey attack helicopter. No such animal exists.
It exists but it isn't as far as I know an attack platform.YouTube - Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey Demostration
The largest fresh water aquifer in the entire region. If it was as developed as the American south-west was before theirs ran dry it could support European elite with (kosher) food goods for decades. And that oil that Italy gets to siphon off for their part of the prize.
Perhaps it was built for `friendly fire` purposes only?

I figured as much. It certainly looks like a heavy lift or deployment platform.
One gun mounted on the ramp doesn't make it an attack vehicle.Perhaps it was built for `friendly fire` purposes only?

So is all that brass (if that is even used anymore) just tossed out? Think how cost efficient it would be fior each crew to have to refill the spent cartridges before they could head for the bar after a mission.
Those rotors and turbine exhaust would kick up too much sand to allow a field landing wouldn't it, a least the rebels know they aren't there to help. How they ever got convinced that ammo supply got hit by a 'lucky strike' just hours after showing the goods to the SAS type of infiltrators.

True, but they have other sources for oil and taking land above the water would mean a few locals could be employed and most of the produce could go to market without having the slush fund exposed too much to the public. If Egypt was already giving them a cut-rate on natural gas then that isn't the only Nation that is forced to do business with them at discount rates .
It's not always about who has the most oil or where it comes from. When it comes to oil the first and foremost aspect is the grade.
Terrible journalism (on the part of the author of the first article) if this is true. It's unconfirmed **** like this that causes useless rifts.
Why let facts get in the way of a good story Mental? But one must know the history of the OP to understand his motives.
