Propaganda spam: Apparently Gaddafi is spouting nonsense about how if he loses his hold on Benghazi, he will launch a chemical weapon attack on Italy and France.

Biggest troll ever. Oh, and he's called for another ceasefire. Fail.


The thing is Gadaffi said he would leave Libya three weeks ago. But the U.N. passed a resolution that if he left Libya. Him and his family would be arrested.

You can make them within days. Just that the ingredients are hard to get, but for a country, no problem.[/quote]actually it takes Canada(the fastest country at making nukes) 7 months to build one. the US takes 13 months.

Thought it was a rather simple process once you know how-to. Thanks for correcting me.

So, does anyone have the ENTIRE latest speech?


Idk if this is the entire speech but here:

Is this even the right speech?

Upload date is 17 March. Unless time travel has been invented, it's not the right speech im afraid.

This could easily end tonight/tomorrow morning if Gaddaifi steps that bit too far...


No this won't end over night. I think that this will turn in to Sarajevo.


Every time I see the word Sarajevo, I think of the CnC: Tiberium Wars level Temple Prime. [REDACTED] piece of crud level. Practice for superturtles though. Especially on Hard.

OT: What do you mean by Sarajevo?

An assassin will always carry on, even after death.

I fear that the Yemenease president may be using Libya as cover to take out the rebellion in Yemen before it begins. I really hope the UN doesn't hesitate to go into Yemen if things turn bad.

As for Libya...
Surely Gaddifi knew that the UN would step in with an airforce, assuming he is smart, couldn't he have hidden mobile SAM sites inside buildings ready to be taken out to target jets at a moments notice?

The US navy(I believe) is targeting known SAM sites though, hopefully the Loyalists didn't come up with any smart ideas.

Pfffft, Italy? Berlusconi is his buttbuddy.


Italy seems to have the largest amount of Coalition airfields.

Gadaffi should just step down now. He is not going to win. Even if he quells the rebellion, he faces war crimes, which are punishable by death. Which means an full fledged invasion by the UN.

Honestly I'm amazed there has been this much cohesive effort in Libya. I was expecting China or at least Russia to veto the No Fly Zone. I doubt there will be enough willingness within the UN for a second intervention and I don't think Russia or China will abide two military operations in the middle east.

You speak about Gadaffi like he is a sane individual. The dude is out of his -blam!- mind

News on Journalists being held-
"More details on the British journalist reportedly being held by the Libyan authorities in Tripoli. Al Jazeera names him as Kamel Atalua, a cameraman, captured alongside another cameraman and two correspondents from the TV channel"

This is taken from the BBC news website.

That is true. If anything, he's crazier than Kim Jong...and that's a tough act to follow. Kim Jong threatens but Gadaffi actually uses action. Crazy bastard.


`Oohrah!

Russia don't do anything about anything.

When the Chechen terrorists bomb Russia the sit back and just condemn it.

And China are just is just the guy on the sideline with the popcorn watching.

I just meant that they would veto any resolution that would allow for intervention. They wouldn't directly oppose anyone who went in there, but I just can't see anyone going in there without UN support.

Excluding this option would be stupid. At this stage, everything can happen.

Well the UAE said they'll help. I wonder how and when they'll do it.

Russia? no. Russia can actually be considered allies of America and Europe.

China? Probably not, they're not really that intrested in war I don't think.
