And so it begins..

French plane fires first shots at pro Gaddafi Duck forces.. When will they ever learn! How long before ground forces?

I really cannot see this having a happy ending..

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Well it wasn't going to have a happy ending without intervention was it? Or is Gadaffi murdering thousands of his own people a "happy ending"?

If the French get involved, you know it's serious

Not sure if I am for or against this action, but your 'when will they learn' smacks of pacifism/cowardice/appeasement. Luckily you were not in charge in 1939.

Great, no aircraft carriers, no Harriers, cuts in the M.O.D. and troops putting their lives on the line every day in Afghanistan, Police service budget being cut to the bone. Great time to pick a fight with another muslim nation. As if the UK isn't under a serious enough threat, this will stoke it up even more. It's got f*** all to do with us.....Oh hang on a minute......Oil??

I think you will find that the Arab League (an organisation with a somewhat Muslim majority) are supporters and partners in this coalition.

Oh FFS.....get a grip.

Have a look at the news......you might discover that it isn't the UK on its own.

I know its not the UK on its own. If you were someone who has had to deal with repercussions of similar situations, you might not be so gung ho.

If you think that western troops setting foot on Libyan soil won't up the ante, then you are wrong.

 

[shabba]

Why not Bharian as well and while we at it serveal African nations, Uzbeistan, the list is endlees. Oops I forgot, Libya has Oil!

 

[clippedgull]

[wellquickwoody]

If you were someone who has had to deal with repercussions of similar situations

Do you?

And if you are, would you care to explain further?

I've worked in Counter Terrorism for the last 8 years.

I've worked in Counter Terrorism for the last 8 years.

SO what do you think the repercussions will be?

I think that you will find that they have oil as well!

So your employers would be okay with you discussing your opinions on a public forum having confirmed that you are a member of HM Governments 'Spooks'? Not to mentio the OSA.

[Ding Dong !]

They will relaliate by bombing England, the footy season will be declared null and void and we start next season in Div 1..........................................holy f*ck that would be my worst nightmare !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

Currently sounds like lots of activity over our local RAF base (Tornadoes) here in Norfolk - so maybe our brave boys and girls are departing to do their bit over Libya. Some of them not long home from Afghanistan too.

Can't help but see the irony in that the community around here have been fighting to save the base from closure under the Coalition's defence review.....but only a few weeks later they seem indispensible. Makes you think.......so all the best to them.

Meanwhile its good to see the froggies taking a lead in this campaign. However Sarkozy's ratings in France are shocking so maybe he sees this as his 'Falklands' moment. While there is a potential humanitarian disaster to be averted in eastern Libya I can't help but feel this is also about positioning to secure future oil and trade deals. Of course this assumes Gadaffi and his tribal followers will roll over, can't see him going without trying to create wider problems.

I'm not a spook, I'm not breaching any OSA either. Believe me I know what I can post and what I can't post. All I have told you is that I work in CT. That covers a pretty broad spectrum. You get so called experts telling you more on Sky news than I've told you on here.
