What are we going to do we got no aircraft carriers or planes... or troops for that matter I wonder if Cam visit to Egypt is to get them to do something...

[AKA pseudonym]

[butchersapron]

Or maybe not

 

[Tankus]

BBC now ...speech

opps.............................coming up ..they are waiting for Libyan tv ..and will cut in as soon as he comes on

 

[Fingers]

He is back....

 

[pk]

Eh? Why "maybe not"?

Removing and destroying the Gaddafi emblems has massive implications for the shower of shit UK businesses that were happy to sell WMD tools to an utter madman. Seriously, why do you have reservations?

 

[Fingers]

he has gone

Yes so what would be the time in Venezuela then? He made a bit of a show with his brolly.

9:00pm? Venezuela time?

Libya's leaders have basically fucked themselves by committing these atrocities right? Unless gaddafi somehow manages to cling onto power which is looking pretty unlikely, he seems really unbalanced.

Mad old cunt, it's his son that is the one to watch. Hope he ends up like Uday Hussein.

He's political poison. Even Blair wouldn't shake his hand now.

He is insane, which means he could give orders to nuke his own country if he had the means, luckily he doesn't.

But make no mistake, this uprising will utterly fuck the oil throw to the West, speculation alone means many cars too expensive to run within the year unless immediate negotiations between the slightly more free, and other nervous nations sort out a plan.

All the atrocities now are unforgiven, but it'll be the fat Texans looking to make WW3 if they can't afford to drive the 4x4 to Walmart any more.

The relative silence from the big Western nations happy to do business with Daffy over the past decade is deafening.

except he did ...

If he is in Caracas it is not raining. It is a warm clear night. I am chatting to my ex in the City on MSM now.

7.51pm when the vid was shown ..Sunset is just after 6pm in Caracas so I guess it would be dark

In the vid ...are those bullet holes in the concrete ?

French apparently - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libyan_Air_Force#Current_air_force_equipment

This whole thing is truly awful and saddening, for what it's worth posting that on a message board when people are going through hell on earth as I type

 

[frogwoman]

How much support do the pro ghaddafi lot have? i just saw another video of a pro gaddafi demo uploaded by a guy whose channel is fucking dodgy.

 

[frogwoman]

Innit

 

[Tankus]

but it is ...lack of tourist income this year is going to increase strife in places like Morocco ... I think that even Turkey will see a fall in tourist income

 

[butchersapron]

wtf do you mean "but"... there is no but, fuck off weirdo

an inexplicably high number. ie more than 2. I don't know really.

Reports that students living abroad were threatened that if they didn't demonstrate their student grants would be revoked or their families would be torn to shreds by dogs or something.
