In a public poll, an estimated 88% of the French population support the foreign intervention in Libya. A nice change from what seems to be coming out of alot of coalition countries

Looks like Canada will stick it out to the end regardless, Harper states reasons include:
-Canada is currently vying for a veto power position in the UN, and a permanent seat on the UNSC
-The UN Responsibility to Protect was a movement created by Canadians
-Harper also says "We are now a Country at war on only one front, as we have pulled out of Afghanistan to only provide a training role there"
Canada wants a seat on the Security Council? That is interesting.
Always have. We were the first country in the world to have nuclear reactors, second country to have Nuclear weapons, and have the worlds fourth largest Navy, 3rd largest air force and one of the 10 largest militaries in the world. We developed the UN mandate to Preserve and Protect Peace, and the UN mandate of the Responsibility to Protect. Only reason we aren't is because a Veto country always vetoes us out, even though we are one of the most influential UN countries(we are the only UN country that has actively participated in EVERY UN mandate)

either way, again i drift off topic. Back to Libya and the Arab world
Who is the country(ies) that vetoes us all the time?

Turkey has Blocked NATO from taking command of the operation, saying they will 'Never point a weapon at any Libyan'

France has proposed the formation of a new alliance that will take command

Note Turkey has this authority as they are a NATO member

Though it is off topic, all five have at different points blocked Canada. Most recently it was China.

either way lets bring this back to discussion of Libya and the Arab nations

It would appear that reports of US Osprey crew shooting 6 villagers are false. There were warning shots fired at some Gaddafi forces that were moving in to investigate however, no body was hit.

I have a bad feeling that the rebels aren't gonna win without a force multiplier from Coalition forces. Not entire armies but a few battalions and some armor.

Good news for everyone.

Can't believe some imbeciles trying to defend the troops if it were true in another thread tonight. One describing it as "crowd control". Thankfully the people in this thread have a little more common sense.
