Attack on Libya imminent?

total/BP/royal dutch shell/exxon mobil/chevron/etc are the slurpers......UN security council is the straw..

 

that phrase you turned out did not translate well at all. even deconstructing it from an English origin confuses me.

unless you meant, we must delay with the army we have---????

or we must be ambiguous in our language with the army we have...

eh.

don't be equivocating unless you can bring the noise.

Wouldn't intervening in Libya mean we are expected to to deal with the crack down in Bahrain, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia as well?

 

i just love trolling New York French though---after so many years on my side of the woods, French just loses that intellectual luster all of you are seeking.

but I see the appeal. and I respect people who respect French joie de vivre.

come up north if you ever want to know what real french culture is, if you haven't already. it's quite a good trip

Gaddafi that umbrella better be (UN-approved, Arab League-approved) military-action proof.

ah, multilateral action---how good it is

 

I wish the US would just stay the **** out of foreign affairs. You have a crumbling infrastructure, a foreign natural disaster by which you are already helping, and now you are trying to get into war with a Middle Eastern country when you are still reeling from the shortfalls of another controversial war already.

If the French, British, and Canadian forces want to get involved; fine. Let them fight, but we should focus more on our internal problems rather than spent all this capital on the military front.

 

If the U.S. wants it's loyal allies to stay loyal allies, we have to sometimes pitch in when they take the lead in military action. This is exactly the way Libya should be handled.

 

Most populous and powerful country in an entire hemisphere, and greedy and materially indulgent as all hell, isolationism is and always has been a pipe dream. I do agree this whole thing seems a bit Suez Canalish, kind of wish we had the strategic leverage and/or leadership (in solely FP/military context) now that we had then.

 

Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew...

 

you shouldn't stereotype

 

What is the US' crumbling infrastructure?

 

One thing I have noticed about the Arab world is that when they are not fighting against a single enemy they are fighting amongst themselves...

Democracy won't bring an end to bloodshed.

 

That's strange. I remember these so called allies not "pitching in", at least not willingly during our Iraq War. Strange...

 

How about the increasingly enlarging income gap become with the wealthy and the poor? Coupled with a struggling economy, worst unemployment rate in years, and loss of citizen morale.

 

Yes it must be genetic.

 

bien sûr

 

My guess is that it has to do with desert tribe culture.

The biggest mistake NATO could make at this point would be to provide weapons to the Free Libyan forces.
