Libya: No Fly Zone is a Go! International Effort and No Troops on the Ground

Wonder what happens when their is a foreign-planned coup to overthrow a legit country leader mastermind by some special agency from some Communist country (hey ya never know, would be a good film script)....
..
It already happened, remember Kennedy?
 
Don't worry about France, they will soon turn tail and give up and pass the Baton for Chocolate lovers everywhere to the good ole Officer USA!
 
Do I get to have a sword and march blindly into battle without any tactics too? Or even we could do the old day musket style tactics again. READY.. GET SHOT... STAND.. AIM.... GET SHOT... FIRE... RELOAD.... DIE... Woops we lost, retreat.. someone get my tea ready. lol. Oh please me me me me me
Nope, you have to pick the turnips from Lord Geithners garden. If you do a good job he might let you have one for your self.

I rather like turnips. It's better than getting shot at, and he has to at least feed me or there will be no one to pick them.:)

You can easily be replaced. Plenty of Cannon fodder on the front lines that would love to see a turnip too. I agree they are pretty good, in moderation.

I was a highway man and on the coach roads I did ride, sword and pistol by my side... many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade, many a young man shed his life blood on my blade. The bastards hung me in the spring of forty fiveeeee, but I am still alivvveeeeeeee
 
So... Libya's 'People's Freedom Army' Commander in General is rebuking NATO for its lack of military action after being pushed back again by pro-Gaddafi forces. Even mentioning going to the head of the UN council or w/e to complain because after working with NATO and giving key co-ordinates on encroaching pro-Gaddafi forces, they failed to act or lend support as is their UN mandate and therefore saw more countless deaths....

Interesting when the rebels #1 in command of the army is complaining about NATO not doing their jobs as they have vouched to do. Wonder whats really going on behind the scenes of their military diplomacy...

Yeah I hear that this morning.

Gaddafi has an impressive amount of weapons in storage.
He was afraid to are his army because they might turn on him so he put a lot of the arms he bought in storage and kept his army limited.
So far Gaddafi has imported mercenaries and armed them. So far Gaddafi forces out number the rebels so they are wanting to have more control of the air forces.
 
It sounds like they are talking shit to me. Why would you talk bad about the people who are keeping you alive. All of these rebels(traitors, terrorists, dissidents, whatever) would be dead and defeated if we had not been bombing the legal government of Libya.
 
I have to stand back on the side lines.. I don't know what or who will come out on top but change will happen.
I heard this morning on NPR that the USA has heard a little on Al-Qaeda activity in Libya.

My best guess is whatever the Egyptian military supports will win.
 
I, as a Chocolate Lover, am appalled that someone would ever attack the Ivory Coast. We have enough problems already without $5 Hershey bars to add to the mix!!!!
 
After having another friendly fire incident the Rebels are using Pink Paint to mark Rebel forces and materials.

One thing is true when one of those missiles hits you are dead in 1 second.

Next up: 30 minutes later Libyan forces start to paint their tanks pink.

The government there stopped shipments of cocoa beans a long time ago, there is supposed to be major shortages this year.
 
Why wouldn't most of our chocolate continue to come from South America? I am failing to understand...Or does anyone actually eat GOOD chocolate?
 
Gadaffi is not out under the brokering of a new deal in Libya

The African Union has stepped in and negotiated a cycle of new talks that offers an "Inclusive" transition meaning Gadaffi's sons can get in the mix.

No mention of cease fire in the mean time.

So the question is what is the political mood of Libya?

They have a totally different mindset in Libya where Gadaffi is sort of an immortal Freedom Fighter.

Will Libya kick some democratic representation ass or go Gadaffi M-TV?

NOTE: This is a discussion in progress nothing has been agreed to. It is unknown if a cease fire will be called by both sides.
