"Call me Dave"’s phony war on Gadaffi

like the man said on Question Time………..let them fight their own wars which will turn into revolutions…….why should we be there when our military is being down sized?

Oh gee – don’t you just love politicians and their sad mixed up reasons for doing things.

Cameron is sending the Tornados from Lossiemouth while he still has them – Lossiemouth being the base he is just about to close because they don’t vote Tory up there. (He could choose to close another but it’s a Lib Dem/Tory marginal.) Isn’t that just after he decided to close Kinloss, a few miles down the road, because we don’t need maritime surveillance any more cos the world is a much safer place now?

He says we can’t afford all of this warfare, then goes round the Middle East with a gang of arms dealers to promote British business. We can sure afford other people’s warfare and then step in and slap them when it looks embarasing.

Not saying that stopping the ol Colonel killing his own people with heavy arms isn’t wrong, but have you seen the horror of other civil wars in Africa, the powerful and moral nations of world have just ignored, including Zimbabwe, where we were just the tiniest bit involved in the past?

Not necessarily wrong just morally inconsistent. And we expect other “less civilised” nations to follow our lead.

Geez.

erm nothing agasint gadafi??? amazing how quickly people forget ……im sure if you pop up to lockerbie they will tell you the horrors they faced when the plane blew up abouve there heads……..as for this being our war it isnt we are there under the un, as part of the united nations we are there, as we were in bosnia to protect the people and keep supplies of medicine , food , and to shelter those who need help ,the torandoes returned today without fireing a single missile due to the fact gadaffi is using human shileds to protect certain people and places ,most say this is being done by the people and is not forced upon them however bear in mind gadaffi is a dictator and thus these people only see and hear what he decides ,they do not have access to certain tv , satalite , internet sites ect ….so who is to say why these people are taking there children to places they know they will be killed !……the un isnt in place to fight wars they are there to secure and help the civilians maybe you should back those who are trying to help those who are at risk instead of thinking of the price tag ……whats a few pounds compared to a life………and before everyone jumps up and down banging on about the defence cuts ect let me remind you we are part of the un as such we are duty bound to up hold the decisions it makes , and may i remind you gadaffi has called and broken two ceasefires and has claimed he will bomb planes in the med ……still thinking were making the wrong choice?

For those interested in the whole Libyan issue – together with the wider ramifications of recent events there – do have a gander at this if you can..
