Affmeister Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Is it just me or didn't Colonel Mohammar Khaddafi like fake his death in like 1988? I mean i thought he was dead but obviously isn't. Lets call Osama and the Mujahedin for some international intervention, they can like solve it with who faked his death most times contest.

Humodour Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 The Arab League has called on the UN to authorise a no-fly zone. Britain, France, America and Australia back a no-fly zone. NATO/EU will likely support one soon since the Arab League has thrown their weight behind it. UN approval is not required for a no-fly zone - with Arab League support, NATO has the trigger of international and multilateral support it was waiting for to act.

Walsingham Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Everyone's going to be in favour of a no fly zone until we accidentally - and inevitably - hit some residential civilian target. I utterly fail to see why we should risk pilots taking part in an action which will be abandoned long before it does any good just so Independent readers can ignore the fundamental contradictions in their worldview.

Yeah, OK mate, I think that's utterly cynical and a fundamental misreading of the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmp10 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Apparently rebels lost control of Brega. The war seems pretty much decided. Not sure what good can the no-fly zone do right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 That was kind of my point. My analysis is that the rebels are losing because they are fundamentally and inescapably disorganised. A no-fly zone at best reduces the 'war' to 2 dimensions, and the rebels still can't pass muster. Incidentally, it's gratifying to see one of the world's largest exporters of oil and gas blocking UN resolutions to intervene. I'm not a naif who complains when oil is a power factor, but it's one in the eye for those who claim only the US is guilty of doing it. "It wasn't lies.
