Libya - civil unrest & now NATO involvement

[Pickman's model]

fuck off cunt, This is the only response you will ever get from me again. Got it

change the bloody record.

 

[dylans]

will you respond to my question then?

Sure. Lots of people who supported the invasion argued that, though it wasn't the ideal situation, at least Saddam has gone and Iraq has a chance at democracy now etc. That was before the insurgency and the virtual ethnic cleansing of the major cities and the sectarian civil war etc.

 

[dylans]

change the bloody record.

FUCK OFF YOU OBNOXIOUS TWAT. If you can't be civil then you deserve no other response.

so it didnt happen on this forum then?

Yes amongst other places. it still does occasionally. There are still those who believe the overthrow of Saddam was worth the bloodshed. I had this discussion with lock n light just a few days ago on this very subject (on this thread in fact)

you can dress it up how you like but the coalition of the willing and nato were two separate groups of states. and describing the two as essentially the same is very stupid.

Any chance of a civil discussion of the third Arab dictator falling? Surely more important than pick man annoying someone.

yeh but lock & light is thick as shite and hardly someone whose take on political events ought to be sought or believed.

What part of FUCK OFF are you having problems with?

 

[Tankus]

I wonder how much Nato has ramped up the attacks ?

Calm down dylans.

fair enough lock n light is clearly a massive berk though so i think its fair to just dismiss him out of hand tbh. im still not convinced the comparison is sound but i suppose we'll find out soon enough

if you feel so strongly about this perhaps you should ignore my posts.

Lift your head high. The people want the end of the regime.

although it pains me to say it i think dylans may be right when he says that the coalition opposing gadaffi will fall apart and further conflict ensue.

 

[Tankus]

Skys in green square .. isnt that close to the compound where Ghaddafi runs around on his golf cart ?.....and where the TV regime interviews have gone on ?

 

[binka]

bbc news is absolutely woeful compared to sky. sky have live pictures from green square, bbc are showing that speech from the gadafi spokesman for the hundredth time

[binka]

[Tankus]

[Tankus]

[bolshiebhoy]

A little while ago Al J said that there were a number of western journalists locked or trapped in a hotel.

Calm down dylans.

They've been shouting according to some crude footage in green square "bushafshufa malish" ("grubby-haired, nevermind!"), sarcastically.

 

[binka]

well i hope he can still get room service at least

 

[free spirit]

After the fall of Saddam I predicted a civil war and sectarian bloodshed and I was told I was being too pessimistic then too.

yes, but then so did I and many others who've spent the last 6 months pointing out the differences between the 2 situations to you.

There are no foreign invaders on the ground here for people to fight against for a start.

He is still in the hotel because the regime are still in control of at least that part of Tripoli:

@mikewhills @alexcrawfordsky stuck here by Gvnt forces still in control. Needs Alex Crawford or simpson to liberate me! #Libya

 

[weltweit]

Very exciting news....

Tripoli

Twitter reckons that Gaddafi was just speaking on the phone to AlJazeera Arabic, he said his house was surrounded by rebels but they told him he would be ok if he stayed put. Then he said a prayer and the sound of gunshots could be heard in the background.
