UN clears way for Libya no-fly zone

The United Nations Security Council has cleared the way for air strikes to halt Moamar Gaddafi's offensive against embattled rebel forces in Libya, with the first bombing raids possible within hours.

It approved a resolution permitting "all necessary measures" to impose a no-fly zone, protect civilian areas and impose a ceasefire on Mr Gaddafi's military.

Ten of the council's 15 member states voted in favour of the resolution, with Russia, China and Germany among the five that abstained.

There were no votes against the resolution, which was co-sponsored by France, Britain, Lebanon and the United States.

Hopefully it's not to little to late. :?

Depends on who they intend to help. The region that the "rebels" are in, is a known area of radical Islamists. the Muslim Brotherhood is involved and the US government knows very well, who they are helping to overthrow Quadaffi.

The region was the #1 region for sending fighters to kill Americans in Iraq.

Why are the rebels in Libya, the 'good guys" and the rebels in Bahrain, not worth helping?

I wonder if US oil companies being expelled from Libya has anything to do with it? China, Russia and India have taken over those contracts.

A new caliphate is being formed in the Middle East/Northern Africa and obama is aiding in it's development.

This is not in the best interests of the US, or those that live in the region.

Libya had one of the highest standards of living in the region, with the citizens being well taken care of by the Government. This is not about oppression by Quadaffi.

It is very concerning that more Americans are not noticing what the US president is doing.



Libyan rebellion has radical Islamist fervor: Benghazi link to Islamic militancy:U.S. Military Document Reveals

Well known to the United States policymakers in Obama White House and Clinton State Department along with the National Security Council but not widely known to American mainstream media, the U.S. West Point Military Academy’s Combating Terrorism Center document reveals that Libya sent more fighters to Iraq’s Islamic militancy on a per-capita basis than any other Muslim country, including Saudi Arabia.


“Libyans were more fired up to travel to Iraq to kill Americans than anyone else in the Arabic-speaking world,” Andrew Exum, a counterinsurgency specialist and former Army Ranger noted in a blog posting recently. “This might explain why those rebels from Libya's eastern provinces are not too excited about U.S. military intervention. It might also give some pause to those in the United States so eager to arm Libya's rebels.”

I'm no middle east expert by any means but from All reports Qaddafi is a murderous brute that has helped kill Americans.

Yes, I agree, but if you are going to help overthrow him, you better be sure that the new regime is not going to be worse.

One of the stated goals of the backers (terrorists) of these "rebels" in countries like Libya, Egypt and the other Middle East countries is to place people in power that will go to war with Israel and the US.

Why did Obama throw Mubaric under the bus then let Quaddafi retain power?

Mubaric at least had a working peace treaty with Israel.

IMO, he didn't treat either situation any differently, until now, when it looks like Gadhafi is gaining the upper hand. Up until now, it looked like the "popular uprising" would accomplish the same result as in Egypt, without what would look like meddling by the US. The bus that's about to hit Gadhafi is going to leave a mark.

In the end, it will be the same result...

I believe the Muslim Brotherhood are stirring up these revolts, so they can better deliver on their religious obligation to kill infidels.

They will soon have access to the money and weapons of another country.

In the last couple of years they have gained the resources of Turkey, Egypt, and soon Libya.

If you take a closer look at who is backing the "rebels", I think the picture becomes clearer.

Which countries are arming the "rebels" with weapons?

I don't understand it completely either, but something tells me that when the US is backing Saudi intervention that is killing "rebels" in Bahrain, but helping the "rebels" in Libya, something else is at work. And it's not for Humanitarian reasons.

It is extremely upsetting to see that the US taxpayers are going to be stuck with another multi-billion-dollar bill that will do nothing but help the current US president build a Muslim caliphate in North Africa and the Middle East.

The European media are reporting that the US taxpayer share of the no-fly-zone will be well in excess of $One-Billion a month.

I have some experience with NFZs and understand that they often require clandestine support from ground troops. This involvement is almost certain to lead the US into another fruitless quagmire that will deliver no value to US taxpayers.

The UN vote was fun to watch, in light of Libya's actions earlier this week. Libya has cancelled all western oil agreements and has signed interim contracts with China, Inda, and Russia; they will be the new oil partners with Libya, if Gaddaffi survives. Those three countries abstained in the UN vote, because they did not want to be accused of voting their own interests, and because they knew the motion would pass anyway without their veto.

France, England and Italy get a lot of their oil from Libya. It is natural that they would want to protect their interests. France and England will lead early air assaults and they will be flying out of Italian/Sicilian bases.

So where is the US interest in all of this?

America gets less than 2% of its oil from Libya. That will be easily replaced from other sources.

Libya is simply another play by the current US president to further his mission: Assist in the establishment of a caliphate, against the interests of Americans.

Gaddaffi is a very bad guy. There were and are ways to get rid of him that do not require the destruction of yet another secular regime in the region. Any American involvement is totally unwarranted and will serve only to assure that another radical terrorist regime is established.

The protesters on the ground are largely controlled by Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations. The provisional governments in Egypt and Tunisia are providing weapons to the rebels. Those governments are now controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood; Libya will be too, if the Obama plan works the way he wants it to.

The protesters are the same monsters that celebrated 9/11 and welcomed the Lockerbee murderer on his fraudulently obtained release from prison. To think that these vile protesters are either pro-American or pro-democracy is faulty. All of them want ALL infidels killed and they fully support the notion that Libya should be the capital of the new caliphate.

There can never be a mixture of democracy and radical Islam. Trying to build just and democratic governments among Muslims is like trying to breed horses with cattle. No matter how much money you spend, it is not going to work.


The US Congress now has an obligation to put an end to this madness by proclaiming that America has no interest in the outcome in Libya. No funding should be allowed for this president's traitorous involvement in caliphate building. If the Congress fails to act correctly, America is in for more heartbreak and eventual destruction.
