The African Unions proposal was rejected by the Libyans as it kept Gadaffi and his sons in power.
The military action was proposed by Britain and France... the US won't commit any planes or anything that might get shot down prompting descriptions in Europe of "burger eating surrender monkeys" being levelled at the US. Obama has done nowt which is why Britain is calling for more force to protect the civilians... let's see if Obama can step up or is there no Oil interests for Haliburton there? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nicholas Geti Sent: 13 April 2011 15:20 To: [email protected] Subject: [OT] Obama turns Libya into a swamp Here is the latest news While the African Union is trying to negotiate a ceasefire between Qaddafi and the rebels, the NATO Secretary General is backing away from Libya saying that military action alone won't solve Libya's problems, which basically means that the mission has now failed. Bolton adds his thoughts: I think President Obama has taken what was at one point a fairly straight forward mission with a fairly straight forward objective - that is to say getting rid of Qaddafi - and turned it into a swamp. . The President said that our objective in using military force against Qaddafi's army was to protect innocent civilians. What happens in a ceasefire is that Qaddafi stays in power. Since Qaddafi is the principal threat to these innocent Libyan civilians, we're announcing basically that the mission has failed and setting up the possibility for future conflict in the very near future --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
