sapper756 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) Allied fighter jets have taken to the skies over Libya after leader Muammar Gaddafi apparently defied the UN’s demand that he stop attacking his own people.British ships are also involved in a naval blockade of the country, sources told Sky News, as the world launched a co-ordinated response based on an earlier UN resolution to protect Libyan civilians.A French defence official also confirmed one of their fighter jets had fired on a Libyan military vehicle. News of the developments emerged after a summit of world leaders on the conflict was held in Paris, hosted by Nicolas Sarkozy. Leaders of nations supporting the UN-backed no-fly zone warned after the meeting that "immediate military action" would be taken because of ceasefire breaches. earlier today; http://news.sky.com/sky-news/content/StaticFile/jpg/2011/Mar/Week3/15955718.jpgThe pilot can be seen ejecting moments before the crash Edited March 19, 2011 by sapper756 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Owen Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 So this Country is broke is it? What they heck are we doing messing about with other people's fights. They sacked the trainee pilots in the worst possible way then they reduced the planes, followed by making soldiers redundant. We have sacrificed the pick of our young lives in the Middle East for nothing much already and payed out a fortune to keep the Immigrants in idleness, yet we think it is acceptable to pay in more young lives and money that we do not have.This Government is as mad and bad as the last one. Now the truth is coming out about the Tuition Fees. The average Grad will have to pay around £84,000 back to put more money into the greedy Bankers' pockets. Of course the young people from rich families will pay there tab without a problem and do very nicely thankyou. Meanwhile the Polititians are making fortunes out of Europe. No wonder they will not hear of getting us out, they have too much to loose. Soon the fuel costs will be crippling and water bills will be sky high but we still think it is OK to pay European workers Family Credits to further encourage them to come and work below the minimum wage levels. However, we still want to show the World how clever we are by spending on something like this adventure. This Government have been watching too many American Films and imagine themselves as Rambo. We must be soft to put up with this rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapper756 Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 David Cameron has promised that Libya will not become "another Iraq" - as British military jets prepare to enforce a no-fly zone over the North African country.Speaking at the Scottish Conservative spring conference in Perth, the Prime Minister said it was "right" to join international operations to stop the "inhumanity" in Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's Libya.However, Mr Cameron insisted the intervention will not become "another Iraq". In his address, the Prime Minister said the UN resolution makes it "quite clear there will be no foreign occupation of Libya". He said: "The people of Libya don't want that, and neither do the UK and its allies. It is not going to happen. "And it is not just that this time, the action has the full and unambiguous legal authority of the United Nations, nor is it just that this time it is backed by Arab countries, and by a broad international coalition.

alex wight Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 lets have a look at the WHOLE picture here. Yes its unfortunate that our forces are being called upon, but the reason surely is to stabilise a country that's being led by a tyrant. If these countries were permitted to carry out these types of acts AGAINST THERE OWN, can u imagine what that could escalate into. Our forces are not only involved in our countries affairs but also world affairs, so that we can live a reasonably safe life. This my opinion only, please respect it as that, thank you, alex.

I agree with you. I think our best modern role is peace keeper under UN mandate as we were e.g. in Balkans, preventing ethic minorities being 'cleansed'in a civil war. Yes, that's a very difficult job, but when 6000 unarmed men & boys were massacred by the Serb Army at Sebrenica (spelling)it shows that it is very worthwhile if you can stop atrocities like that from happening.

Roland Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 We have to take on this Tyrant to stop him killing his own civillians what ever it takes.The UN Security Council Resolution gives us the right to do that. Here pass him his coffee. Are the UN paying for us to kill and rob Libya? Of course not we will make a fortune out of killing thousands upon thousands. Stop the killings!!! having a laff eh. Plenty of very much worse ethnic and greed killings many times worse EVERY day!.... but no wealth. Like Mugarbee and Zimbabbee etc. Look at the atrocities the JEW do every DAY with our and the USA's backing against the Arab worlds. - No no Oil! Costs us so we can have US troops and air force stations over there etc. Like Saddam Hussein said. I' have no WMD. and well you know it.... He hadn't of course and we knew it. Can't stop you coming in to pinch my oil, but you will have it hard to get out. Again very true! We did nothing to help the 100,000 Marsh People after we incited them to rise up against Saddam... and the reason we went to war? Well officially it was because Saddam put a stop to Kuwait drill under and pinching his oil! Like Iran keeps tell us we are taking too much. USA are over a $75 trillion dollars and us... Save lives, what a sad joke... it was well documented. Saddam killed and estimated 100,000 to 200,000. Bad, but within the first 3 month we killed with knock on effect 4 000,000 yes 4 million. Sewage /Hospitals, sanitation, electric, gas, contaminated waters etc. etc. etc. etc Food shortages which we keep stump about. Go and sort out Magarbee first I say if you want to waste our money on another good deed. And just who do you thing will die when we bomb and strike these places! Civilians and enforced service men and woman and KIDS alike that’s who. Definitely a lot more than if we staye out and minded our own business instead of stirring up trouble and strife over there.

I was involved in the first gulf war, where in my eyes we made a total balls up of it. bush senior fecked up the first and bush junior went back to finish what daddy didnt finished, but he just slaughtered our own. When my mate got killed in bosnia i left the army, as i didnt want involved in putting my neck on the line for every tom dick and harry that couldnt sort their own shiite out. I wouldnt join the forces at any cost now a days as its a different way of working, but unfortunately i want my wee boy to live in relative safety, and we need to have a safe world to do that. Mission impossible me thinks, when it comes to likes of muggabe, gaddafi ect. when will it ever end? i,ll just keep working as a gas engineer, its safer lol. atb alex.

DAVIDL Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 The UN are bombing to stop gadaffi killing his own people.....? i think the bombs which have been dropped on behalf of the UN will have killed more civilians than gadaffi has. The only reason we are getting involved is for oil, nothing else......... If gadaffi is such a bad man, why was it Tony Blair was so friendly with him, doing oil deals for B.P. so he would get his million pound bonus......? and also handing over the murdering lockerby bomber under some scam lies he had cancer and had only weeks to live....? Time to face it, this country`s governments past and present are corrupt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a brief speech at the Bab al-Aziziya compound, targeted on Sunday, he said "all Islamic armies" should join him. Forces loyal to Col Gaddafi are engaged in fierce fighting with rebels.
