| David Cameron: There is 'no question' of an international invasion of Libya |
| 2011-04-17 |
| There is still "no question" of an international invasion of Libya, David Cameron has said, despite admitting the constraints on ground forces were making the mission more difficult. Six civilians were reported killed and dozens more injured in the besieged rebel-held town of Misrata as forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi kept up a barrage of rockets and other fire. Prime Minister David Cameron said the Nato-led air strikes on regime military targets had helped prevent massacres and the taking of Misrata but opposition forces have called for a stronger intervention. While the United Nations Security Council authorised "all necessary measures" to protect civilians - it specifically ruled out the presence of any occupying force on the ground. With the two sides mired in a stalemate, Mr Cameron conceded that meant the international allies were not able to "fully determine the outcome". |

| #3 WAFF > WE BETTER GET OUT OF LIBYA NOW BEFORE UGANDA + AFRICAN UNION ATTACK US! | UGANDA LASHES OUT AT FOREIGN STAKES IN AFRICA, as symbolized by the Libyan Crisis + NFZ. ARTIC = The African Union will not tolerate any FOREIGN = EURO INTERFERENCE OR INTERVENTION [control?] IN AFRICAN AFFAIRS??? * Also, CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > {PressTV] LIBYAN RULER MUAMMAR GADDAFI HAS MADE TWO MISTAKES [as per US-NATO/EU = African affairs]: IT BLOCKED US AFRICA COMMAND BY NOT JOINING IT, + LET CHINA INTO LIBYA BY WID MAJOR ENERGY INVESTMENTS INSTEAD, SAYS FORMER US OFFICIAL. Former US Treasury AsstSec DR. PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS. ARTIC > ROBERTS = US-NATO/EU desire to remove or eliminate China from influence in the Mediterranean, + thus dev Hegemony + control of Mediterranean Energy resources [+ Africa], NEXT US-NATO TARGET AFTER LIBYUH WILL BE SYRIA DUE TO LARGE RUSSIAN NAVAL PRESENCE THERE. |

| #2 Uncle Muammar will leave Libyuh only iff the proper concessions + compensations [kowtows] to Him are made. Also read, NO TRIALS OR OTHER PROSECUTIONS AGZ HIM FOR WAR CRIMES = CRIMES AGZ HUMANITY. That being said, iff-n-when He does choose to leave Libyuh + Ruling Power, IMO Muammar will likely choose Cold War ally RUSSIA, since SADAT + now MUBARAK are gone + fellow anti-Israel ally EGYPT, Other has gone the way of the Muslim Brotherhood = Radical Islam or are at risk of doing so. Muammar prolly trusts Russ to be brutal agz anyone's attempts to kidnap or kill him once under their flag. Iff not Russia, then prolly one of the usual comfy Neutral Euro-States where his Security, Identity, + $$$ Wealth can be heavily protected. |

| #1 Between those tough guys, the French, and the straight forward no nonsense talking Brits, we now have a clear picture of what we are into in Libya. Compared to the Euros, our current foreign policy team (I'm excluding Hillary here, she isn't allowed to make policy)is a bunch of naive children. The rest of the world is laughing at Obama and watching his foreign policy being led around by the nose by every foreign dignitary that can stand to sit in the same room with him. I think Carter will be relieved to know that he will no longer be listed as the worst president in American history. The libs who write textbooks will try to spin it every which way, but the empty suit hiding under his desk in the oval office is a complete and utter catastrophic failure. That puts the "fifth estate" the media completely naked as incompetent and partisan to even the door stop IQ's that voted for this waste of oxygen in the first place. |
