U.S., Britain and France say Gaddafi must go

A declaration signed by Barack Obama David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy says allowing Gaddafi to stay in power would amount to a “betrayal” of the Libyan people.

As much as I dislike David Cameron, he was a genius when he had UNSC 1973 written. The most important line in the resolution is "authorises all necessary means to protect civilians and civilian-populated areas" because this legalises the bombing of advancing Gadaffi forces. Also the best thing about it is the BRICS nations were all foolishly tricked into accepting it and now they're annoyed because they have permitted the West to attack Gadaffi forces by not blocking the resolution when they had the chance to. BRICS are now powerless and can't do anything to stop it. The bombing of Gadaffi forces is 100% legal per UNSCR 1973. I'm surprised the US isn't involved more, this is pretty much a British-French project. A stalemate is not acceptable to Britain and France, we're in it for the long run. Another smart thing Britain and France have done is to get token support and involvement from Jordan, Qatar and the UAE. This internationalises it more and gives us Arab backing.

I just want the "Colonel" to know that his war is against those in washington d.c. and not average, ordinary americans like myself.

I doubt that anyone would categorize you as average, ordinary American and you in no way speak for the typical American.
While Americans are torn in their need to support combat operations in Libya, it in no way is due to any support for Gaddafi. That is pretty much nonexistent in Americans.

First of all although people are basically entitled to their individual opinions I'm puzzled as to why I've not received positive ratings for my comments,I'm suspecting that I've received "responses" from the pro-Gadaffi "club."

Another issue I want to discuss is to ask what is my country's prime minister's(Stephen Harper's) stance on the ousting or potential ousting of Gadaffi? In fact with the Canadian elections occurring in the month of May I believe and if Stephen Harper is to be succeeded by Gilles Duceppe or Michael Ignatieff or Jack Layton what could their stance be if Gadaffi is still in power come the month of May?

This just shows how these GANGSTER-LED governments continue to defy UN Security Council resolutions. They pledge to "help protect civilians" and not "remove Gaddafi by force" and then break their pledges. What ye sow, ye shall reap.

Whenever Gadaffi is "out in the open" and when he least expects it, someone(preferably so many people) should ambush him and his bodyguards in the most discrete or cunning manner though under the circumstances that would be a difficult task to accomplish if we think about it.

One can see clearly how UNSC1973 has been prostituted and became a carte blance to Obama and his French & British messenger boys.The UN resolution was so loosely crafted so they could do anything they want.
Initially it was "no-fly zone" for allegedly humanitarian reasons which turned into full bombardments of not just military but also civilian installations.Then agreeing oil contracts with the rebels and arming them with guns and hardware bought from France, the USA and the UK.

The final piece in the Libyan jigsaw is " regime change".Does it sound familiar? It was exactly the same policy that Bush & Blair followed in Iraq and Afganistan and it shows that politicians i the west are not the power-brokers but the molitary and corporate establishments.

I've got no sympathies for the Gaddafi clan and i still think he will go either quietly or with a noose tied on his neck.With elections scheduled both in US & France in 2012 a defeat in Libya will spell a total disaster for both Obama & Sarkozi.

Would you live under Gaddafi? If the answer is yes.....then move there immediately, the "lion godfather" needs all the supporters he can round up to kill civilians.

Seriously...this guy is the equivalent of Hitler's retarded brother with Napoleonic frustration for power. The more he refuses to step down the more its infuriating the opposition for his removal; hellbent, now the opposition will use all vindictive means to justify the ends.

Watch & learn.

Let’s look at the Libyan situation. Firstly, the west does not know who or what they are supporting except they are rebelling against the Colonel and this is despite holding talks with these people on several occasions.
Secondly, the incompetence of western military forces/policy makers I can only say is simply breath taking - “the air strikes are proving incapable of stopping Gaddafi shelling civilians or weakening him so much the rebels can overcome his forces”. So after 3 weeks of strikes by SUPERIOR western weaponry the UK and froggies want more “hardware” – hey, what about the boastful windbags showing the superior war planes that were to be used on US TV just prior and at the start of the bombing, hmmmmmm?????? So now these superior weapons are a heap of crap and they need more??? They can bring all the aircraft they like but it’s not going to do then any good.
I have said from the start that the Colonel will be extremely hard to shift, but they thought that this was Serbia 1999 in a weakened state and with no allies. The Colonel rules with an iron rod and does not tolerate dissent, but on the other hand Libya has the best medical, education and social security on offer in the entire African and Middle east regions and this includes western European countries.
The so called united front with Arab states is only a façade as it would crumble if they started to shell Tripoli and kill civilians nor would Arab League agree to an invasion of foreign forces, but in the end that is exactly what they have to do if they wish to remove the Colonel. Then its welcome Al Qaida and the Iraqi nightmare starts all over again, but with Europe being so close there will be refugees by the millions. It’s a win/win situation for sharia law in Libya supporters.
Now if this is not stupid to the extremes then I don’t know what is. Unfortunately the west is plagued by an onset of political stupidity that one has to work in the system to see it to believe it. The only way out is to have a 360 degree change and completely throughout of power the major political parties in the west.
