Report: NATO may attack Libya if violence continues
Ynet News Israel ^ | 02.24.11, 10:54

Posted on 02/24/2011 2:06:43 AM PST by maquiladora

NATO forces may attack forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi if the Libyan air force continues to bomb anti-government protesters, the London-based al-Quds al-Arabi reported, citing a European official claiming the US had threatened to intervene in the violence.

The source said NATO and US warplanes stationed in Italy may be ordered to take down Libyan planes, and that electronic warfare against them may already have been implemented. (Roee Nahmias)

I really really want to say..Europe made the mess let them clean it up. But I know we’re gonna’ get suckered into doing the Lion’s share of the work as always.

We used to be the only adults in the world. Not so much any more.

This is what the world looks like when the adults aren’t around. At least Obama has demonstrated that messianic delusions by themselves do not ensure sound economic and foreign policy decisions, else how would we ever have known?

I’m pretty sure that Islam deserves all the credit for the screwed up mess that is Libya (and Yemen, Iran, Eygpt, Gaza, etc).

Funny how we reflexively blame white people first, even on FR. Please try to treat Muslims as adults: responsible for their actions.

After all: if we start blaming whitey for what other people do, we may as well join the NAACP.

Yeah right. Europe doesn't have the balls for the meagerest of actions; and this guy won't do anything either:

If we attack, the Muslims around the world will blame us and there will be a new wave of terrorist attacks on Western targets IMO.

Crock. Not a chance. That would interrupt the plans of Obama’s masters.

No funding for a war, so by Democrats, it can’t happen.

NATO needs to reserve its forces for the Saudi revolution. Now THAT’S a situation that would absolutely require military intervention.

This is one of those times I think we are all grateful that there’s a stand-up organization like the UN there to do all the good it does. Let’s have a round of applause for the good old UN.

BS, it will not happen because Obama wants the chaos to continue. He believes himself to be the Mahdi that the Shitite muslims desire. Barry soetoro changed his name to Barack Hussein Obama why is that. he became well versed in Pakistan, when he visited there in 1981, this was with his Indonesian passport and he was an international student at Occidental College. (If he had an American passport he would not be allowed to travel to Pakistan - keep that in mind). After he was in Pakistan, he became a Muslim convert and changed his name back (never done legally, so he is really known as barry soetoro) to that of his real father (this may be BS as his father, because his mother was basically a whore posing nude to make money for college)
Barack hussein means )blessing of Husein” in Arabic and Persian. His family name Obama written in the persian alphabet reads O Ba Ma which means “He is with us” ( Allah is with us) this a part of the magic formula in Mahidi tradition. Is Obama the 12th Imam in the Shitite muslim tradition?

NATO has become a sad joke of its former self, and doesn’t have the stomach for picking a fight in Libya. This is just diplomats running their mouths, probably at Hillary’s behest.

So the does that make George Soros the AC? The Anti Christ rises out of the revived Roman empire.

I would love to hear the “international lawyers” explain NATOs rights to attack African military forays in Africa.

Law—that is for suckers I guess.

"of course they will, there is oil are Muslims there"

More to the point, Muslims are the victims. If Christians were the victim of Muslim violence, there would be no response.
