just shows the weakness of your argument - who cares how innocent protestors are slaughtered.

(saddam used all that stuff in 1992 and we stood by and watched)


for the record I broadly support the current actions ---- but i am acutely aware of the contradictions, nuances and ironies of current state of affairs.

something which just washes over your biased and prejudiced head

So?

Did we support such actions?

No?

Just because we do not act all the time does not mean we should not act some of the time.

Hang on i missed the important bit, before we go in we nuke the place, and when the dust has settled we make any survivors do a bit of sweeping up, then bring in TDW to restart oil production.

Now either get some support for your declining faculties, f1, or stop being dishonest. Either way, stop gurning.

Anyway, f1's stumped so has resorted to his default position, scoobynet's resident illiterate is communicating in pictures and Asif's rocked-up (evening, Asif) so, all we need now is someone to say M***** and it'll be two pages to thread-lock.....

It makes you wonder, wonder why the journalists never ask the diplomats the question. I bet the diplomats that got escorted out of Libya a couple of weeks ago were the governments quantity surveyors and sales team

The 'it's about oil' brigade should have a conversation with team 'we can't afford it'; if it's about oil, the latter should be asking if we can afford not to. They'd both be wrong, of course, but at least one
of these outlooks would fall away.

My position is clear enough. I really don't have to justify my thinking on your behalf either.

If you were to be brave and state your own thinking on the matter then we would all know exactly where you are at and the matter would become clearer all round!

JT you are doing a good job Sprouting your Crap!

Well we've done budget, haven't we? Whilst Libya involves oil (because there is oil in Libya) it is not about oil, it's about revolution. Let me throw a swerve ball at you though, Dave: let's pretend it was about oil, wouldn't that make moot the 'we can't afford it' argument? In other words, one can't have both condemnations in one's armoury.

This is about supporting and promoting Western values. This is about letting other dictators know that we'll step in to defend a popular, democratic, secular uprising. Egyptians voted for the first time today on a new constitution - the sense of liberation must be overwhelming! Not everything is about the next year or even the next decade, but setting the wheels in motion for a future of hope. So, I understand that you're cynical (around everything), but have some faith in this country and its allies. You may just find that there's a smidgen of decency and nobility and duty in what we undertake.
