U.N. imposes no-fly zone over Libya

The U.N. Security Council on Thursday imposed a no-fly zone extending over all of Libya to try to halt Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's mounting attacks against rebel positions.

The resolution states that "all necessary means" can be used to enforce the no-fly zone. Flights to provide humanitarian aid, medicine or for evacuations are exempt.

The vote was 10 for, none against and five abstentions.

And by UN I mean the US military will probably end up doing 99% of the work. Not that it matters as it's about two weeks too late.

Hooray for helping jihadist trash!

We were strong-armed into it by France and England. They need their oil.

Rasmussen was saying that he wanted coordination with the Arab League and African Union. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

And I think BF's spot on. By UN, they mean US.

Even if we don't do the legwork guess who will get the brunt of the blame by the Islamists? The US, that's who. "Evil imperial America" will have invaded another "holy" Muslim country.

Meanwhile, China and Russia, who cozy up to extremist Muslims left and right, win this entire situation by abstaining. They probably supported the NFZ but knew it would be implemented regardless of their vote so they get to save face by playing dumb.

And the English can fuck off with their "human rights" bullshit. They're the same people that negotiated the Lockerbie bomber's release for oil.

So did the Google guy who was one of the leaders of the protests. Blocked from speaking by the MB.

The Saudi King spit in the faces of Hillary and Gates, too. They can't even get an audience with the guy now.

I've been reading over the past week or two that the Libyian govt. forces/mercenaries have pretty much beaten back the rebels to a pocket in Benghazi and are close to finishing the job and breaking them.

So, if that's true, what the fuck is the point of the no fly zone and punitive strikes?

I'm sorry, but you have to admit that the worlds handling (and the U.S. as we are the muscle, no one else) has been a fucking catastrophe and a total joke. The U.S. especially has been exposed as a hallow, balless, disjointed mess. It's been humiliating for the Obama regime.

The dude talking about Iran right now is awesome. Doing a good job laying out how badly these fuckers are fueling these situations.

Problem is that this no fly zone will do little now that Gadaffi probably has won. It will probably just get us involved in another military situation with no real point.

What is the point of doing this now that the rebels are mostly defeated?

Sean hannity, like Newt, TPaw, Mccain and Kerry, was cheerleading the USA getting into another freaking war here.

Total warmongering by those willing to spend the blood and treasure of others for the wars they desire.

Cease fire called for by Qaddafi. Very smart move on his part considering he's already taken back most of the country and all the oil producing spots.

Won't stop the ~~OIC~~ UN from patting themselves on the back, though.

It's a brilliant move on his part. He stays in power, has control of most of the country and should the UN attack him now it'll look like an act of imperialist aggression and be perceived as an all-out war. Now he'll just cut off any funding and aid to the last rebel strongholds and leave the bill for the rest of the world to pick up.

Oh, I don't know, maybe because the No-Fly Zone is two weeks too late and Qaddafi has already rolled up most of the rebels and has them pinned down in one last stronghold? He has no reason to not have a cease fire as he's already retaken the oil fields and most of the country.

AND he gets to stay in power, which is something the UN didn't want. Hope France and England enjoy their terrorist attacks down the road.

Useful idiot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search
For other uses, see Useful idiot (disambiguation).

In political jargon, the term useful idiot was used to describe Soviet sympathizers in Western countries. The implication is that though the person in question naïvely thinks themselves an ally of the Soviets or other ideologies, they are actually held in contempt by them, and were being cynically used. The term is now used more broadly to describe someone who is perceived to be manipulated by a political movement, terrorist group, hostile government, or business, whether or not the group is Communist in nature.
