I suspect that France and Britain will be fucked in the eyes of Gaddafi when he finally finishes with the rebels, so no more Libyan oil. But I'd love to see Cameron trying to smarm his way back into Libya's good books. Something about a little misunderstanding methinks.

 

Should've backed a winner guys!

Indeed, but you can't burn rare earth metals.

Other way around - Liyba provides China with quite a lot of its oil, so if the US went in then China would be cross :C

It'll stop tech supplies though! But yeah, oil is much more important in things like this.

Won't Cameron just get even more friendlier with Saudis and so on?

I suspect that the only people interested in being friendly with the smarmy leader of a fading nation are his hair stylist and owner of his local cycle emporium.

About fucking time!
Barack Obama warned Gadhafi on Friday to immediately stop the "brutal repression" of Libyan civilians or face military consequences from a unified international community.

(Germany, Russia, and China abstained instead of vetoing.)

Yes.

 

Now if only we had some kind of large boat, with a big flat deck area that could somehow be used for launching and retrieving aircraft.
