Libya: Cameron Proposes No-Fly Zone To Protect Libyan People From Attacks By Gaddafi Loyalists
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ ^ | February 28, 2011 | The Telegraph

The Prime Minister repeated his earlier call for Col Gaddafi to step down and said that all measures would be considered to increase pressure on him to go. "We do not in any way rule out the use of military assets," Mr Cameron said. "We must not tolerate this regime using military force against its own people. In that context I have asked the Ministry of Defence and the Chief of the Defence Staff to work with our allies on plans for a military no-fly zone."

Let the EU handle this one. We have no money. None.

Don’t let the US start another war we won’t be allowed to win.

Screw the Islamderthals. Let them sort it out among themselves. Hopefully it will result in fewer of them.

Egypt is last months news. However, it’s probably safe to say Christians in Libya would also benefit from a no-fly zone imposed against Gadaffi’s regime.

I do not always agree with Sarah, but if she would care to explain it to me at a long personal meeting, I am more than happy to listen.

Don’t need to start another war here,
Just not allow wackey kadaffy’s flying machines to kill innocents by the bucket load
Besides it would be a good training exercse for our pilots.

"Sarah Palin said NATO should do this last week."

NATO = American carriers and American money and American casualties. Euro-wimp nations do not have the military means or the money to patrol Libyan skies. They want to sucker America into doing it. There is no strategic reason to intervene in Libya. Permit the Libyans to murder each other in peace.

It wouldn't stop with that. We would need troops on the ground to stop the killing of innocents, and then need to rebuild and stabilize. 20 years and trillions later we will leave and they will still hate us.

Not again. We are not playing this game again. There is no money, let the EU do it.

What do you suppose would happen to the cost of our supply if EU and Japan see their supply cut by 70%?

Why not have them do it then?

There is no money! We have to stop playing policeman and let others take responsibility. We either stop it now, or stop it when the collapse happens.
