West edges closer to military action on Libya


www.khaleejt imes.com
TRIPOLI — The West edged closer on Tuesday to military action against Muammar Gaddafi as the United States said air strikes would be needed to secure a no-fly zone over Libya, and regime forces tried to retake a key city.

US and European leaders weighed the use of NATO air power to impose a no-fly zone, with the aim of stopping Gaddafi using air power against his own people to crush the insurrection against his four decades of iron rule.

The source is AFP, so pretty much reliable I'd say.

I don't think this was planned. On the contrary, it is a golden opportunity on the road to war (with Iran). Gadaffi has always been a nuisance to the West and now they can deal with him relatively easy, they will do so. It's a matter of time, in my opinion.

There's a Pentagon briefing going on now. CNN.com live. And they are discussing how a no-fly zone would be setup.

Oh and there's a big concern about the mustard gas stockpiles that the Libyan military has, and that they could use it against their own people.

That sounds like a reason for war we've heard before....

This is nothing more than a ploy by the US puppet gov to pressure the rebels to finished the chaos immediately.

The reason is due to the oil instabilities that resulted and thus the puppet masters are in a hurry to want the business finished as fast as possible.

BUT..these are humans we are are talking about. It is already an Almighty miracle that the rebels got to where they are today, never before in the course of our modern history with civilians of no military trainning, merely peaceful protestors at that.

Those within pro-beast held tripoli are fellow humans first, our brothers and sisters, secondly hLibyans. It will take time so that no more blood be shed, thus the need to be cautious for everyone.

I and everyone else can accept the violity in oil prices for days, weeks and months, even if it means the black marketeers profit immensely from it, for such is the sad life we slaves have to face in the hands of our masters, afterall, money lost today can be made back later on.

But precious human lives, more so those whom are our brothers and sisters seeking for freedom, are lost forever. No human must be sacrificed needlessly. If we fail to honour this dictum, we are no better than beasts we are seeking or hope to overthrow. Every human life means something to someone.

There will be a time when outside military intervention be needed, where more lives need to be saved that is beyond the sacrificed of all dead and fallen Libyan rebels, in the hopes for the salvation of the future Libyan generations . But that time has not come yet.

Thus I plead that the US, NATO and UN, BACK OFF!

The courageous Libyan men had acheive faster with far more better results than what those superpowers had set out to acheive for years on end with no resolution but bitterness and worse chaos in other nations that they sought to 'liberate'!
