A bit of money. Peanuts in the grand scheme of things. US involvement looks to be very limited and hardly seems necessary. The French, British, Italians, Spanish, Norweigians, Canadians, Danish, Dutch, Belgians and Arabs are perfectly capable without them.
Well atleast we should take back our helicoptermenzo wrote:

Worse has been reported by embedded journalists in Libya compared with the others, but if you're pointing out the hypocrisy of not getting involved in places like Bahrain, then I would agree.11 Bravo wrote:

i still want actual proof that he was killing civilians....on purpose.
Apart from the fact he's having to hire mercenaries because many of his military personnel can't be relied upon to fire into crowds of civilians?
i havent seen anything any worse than whats going on in most of those countries right now.

It's really because no one likes Gaddafi and he's in Europes backyard. All these other places are far away.

because our govt is used to do what is told and never takes initiative, so if the US says we should we will.Jay wrote:

Parliament demands the military cuts its defense budget by 1 billion which is about 1/8th of the budget, so we can't do shit. (one of the proposed ways of trying to actually make that happen is to remove all tankers), they're also firing up to 10.000 people. I haven't been able to enlist because of sustained budget cuts for the past 3 fucking years.Jay wrote:

For a start the reports of bad stuff happening in Egypt were no were near the same as in Libya - no reports of troops opening attacking protestors, rough treatment in some instances, but not firing into crowds. This still prompted a diplomatic response - which was sufficient.11 Bravo wrote:
