Never TRUST the French!

Telegraph: Reports that President Sarkozy of France has stated that Colonel Gaddafi should leave office, but does not want to use any armed force. Its typical of the French when the UK might need to use force to protects its citizens that they hide, nothing new, you cant trust France to back you up, more likely to knife you in the back, can we really trust them to share their Naval resources with us, lets review any agreements with the French.

Libya and the West

Thus far folks one has to say that the reaction of the US and the UK when it comes to the murder of the Libyan people by its own leader has been pathetic, POTUS took days to say something himself, and when he did say something it was weak beyond measure, the Coalition PM David Cameron was forced to say sorry for the slow reaction of the UK in getting its people out, one whole the air service from Tripoli seems to be working at the moment, and the Royal Navy has been used to get people out of the Port of Benghazi, it has been reported the HMS Cumberland will return to Benghazi to pick up more Western citizens. The problem for the UK is the citizens that are in the desert, if their companies cant get them out and the people cant make their way to Tripoli or Benghazi or overland to Egypt or Tunisia then the RAF with the support of the SAS or will have to go in and get them no matter what Colonel Gaddafi thinks. The White House has released the following on the telephone conversations between Obama and EU leaders, “ The President spoke today, in separate calls, with President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, Prime Minister David Cameron of the United Kingdom, and Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi of Italy to continue consultations on the situation in Libya and coordinate our urgent efforts to respond to developments and ensure that there is appropriate accountability. The President expressed his deep concern with the Libyan government’s use of violence which violates international norms and every standard of human decency, and discussed appropriate and effective ways for the international community to immediately respond. The leaders affirmed their strong support for the universal rights of the Libyan people, including the right to peaceful assembly, free speech, and the ability of the Libyan people to determine their own destiny and agreed that these rights must be respected. The leaders discussed the range of options that both the United States and European countries are preparing to hold the Libyan government accountable for its actions, as well as planning for humanitarian assistance. The leaders agreed to maintain close consultations on this issue going forward. ”. The UN will do bugger all, it never acts, it’s a talking job for diplomats, its time for action, as stated many times Obama is starting to make Jimmy Carter look good, at least Carter sent in a rescue mission, it failed, but he acted, so far lot of fine words from Obama but no action, NO Fly Zones, no sanctions real sanctions on Gaddafi, if the West fails in Libya then Iran will march towards the bomb, the Tehran leadership are smart enough to know that if they have the bomb the West will not react if they kill their own people, Libya is a test Obama cant afford to fail.
