Libyan No-Fly Zone res. passed by UN

Platapus · 03-17-11, 06:56 PM

Can't the United States just stay out of this. If the UN wants to go in, let some other member states (Arab) go in, then it won't be a "crusade" of evil West against Islam.

Just because there is some shootin to do, does not mean that the US has to be involved.

Yeah, where are the other Arab States? What would happen if a Persian state intervenes (sp)?

What's wrong with their MiGs? They're a lot cheaper.

How about the IAF? They could clean the mess up in 10 minutes.

Qaddafi would love that. See Scud Attacks in 1991.

I'm too lazy to learn to read Russian. Plus I hate Soviet style RWR displays.

As the French did not allow the U.S. to fly over way back when?
Let them handle this now.
Or maybe just pay the U.S. what they owe?

We don't need to send Fighters, just send in the Drones!
Best way to insure a no fly zone is to take out the planes on the ground.

Would Gaddafi claim to be
"protecting Libya from robot invaders?"

That and they will not get any pizza that hasn't been smothered in anchovy paste and left under the heating coils for five hours.

If you substitute United States with western states, these are exactly my thoughts. There is a reason that the Arab League demands that the West should intervene. If something goes wrong - and something always goes wrong, we know that there is not something like warfare without civilian casualties - then the infidels take the blame for bombing civs.
The Arab states have the military resources to do this on their own. Supporting them with logistic/financial aid: fine - landing western troops/using western air forces to strike: deeply dangerous.
