Libya no fly zone

difference was 911. And with Kdaffiee, Regan should have dumped a few more bombs through his front door after the Pan Am bombing. It did not take much and kdaffieduck was crawling around, quacking like a duck, all peaceful like.

Instead a few years later, we got the one of the mastermind scum tricking the brits into letting him go home to a hero's welcome....

Blast them back to the stone age with a quick and massive strike, and all that nonsense will stop, but no, we got to go act cop and march around on the ground, dodging bullets to save some ingrates

It seems the strategy of it all is to talk about it for such a long time that Gadaffi's troops crush the rebels anyway, so it will be too late. At current rates the rebellion will be crushed in a few days.

I would be interested to know how and why you feel you know better than those who made the decision to release al-Megrahi (probably not the Lockerbie bomber anyway, but that's another debate) as to his medical condition. I grant that it is surprising for him to have lived for so long, but nonetheless it is difficult to fake such a condition, and there is no evidence for any collusion.

And then what? Interestingly, it now appears as if the US is backing a no-fly zone.

Wise after the event again?

While your post about 'Brits' is technically correct as all Scots are British, remember it was the Scottish government that decided to release him. The UK government was actually opposed to the move.

Well a no fly zone will be useless if the war is already won on the ground.

Or unless what remains of the Libyan air force — which was already in a desperately sorry state — is rendered unusable.

no fly zones are useless. Period.

Never go to war half-assed. Go all the way without any mercy, crush your enemies hard and fast, or just stay home and out of it.

As i said, earlier, the war is pretty much over. Kaddaffyduck, is just too brutal and nasty.

Shame that Bush didn't have your much publicised foresight and wisdom before he led the charge into Iraq. Is there such an expression as "quarter-assed"? There is now.
