China Moves to Save Gaddafi as Russia Warns Of ‘All Out War’

Quote from endsongs:

It is about oil for Europe. Not oil for US. That is why US initially opposed it and only reluctantly joined.

For those who believe the UN intervention in Somalia was about humanirtarian purposes, that was only part of the reason. Yes, in addition to pirates, Somalia also has oil. US companies had signed contracts with the deposed gov't in somalia before the civil war ousted the gov't.

we're not talking about Somalia

Quote from Kassz007:

When DOES Germany participate? Why are they in NATO again?

"German Chancellor Angela Merkel's decision to opt out of any military action in Libya has drawn criticism at home, putting the government on the defensive over a policy that opinion polls suggest should be popular with voters."

Maybe that's for the best. You have probably heard about times in history where Germany "participated" more frequently....

Quote from EMRGLOBAL:

Endsongs.....You make the most sense out of all the post.

People, mainly the scum bag left, like the ones posting on ET most of the time, never do their homework. They are clueless on facts and the talk with their ass.

The have no idea that the US imports the majority of oil from Mexico, Canada, Gulf. Sure, we import around 30% (Figures you have to check because they change often) of Arab Oil.

However, the EU is total depended on ARAB OIL, near 80%.

The UK has her North Sea OIL but still imports a lot more than the US from Arab Land.

IRAQ was about OIL in the sense it was about saving the EMU"s ass.

This time, NATO is taking on the head roll.

By the way, this war is unconstitutional and a impeachable offense if congress follows up on, which I doubt cuz they have no balls.


And the IDIOT and CHIEF lies once again!

Heh fair point...

But what do they bring to the table for NATO? They want all of the protection that NATO affords, but are not willing to participate in operations with their allies?

I am not a fan of NATO. I would love to see the US end it's support of NATO.

NATO's sole purpose was to protect against the USSR. it follows that since there is no eastern bloc anymore, it should be removed.

This news item is a BS. It comes from a site that creates its own rumors based on nonsense.

Chinese ship is in the area but mainly to see smooth departure of the Chinese who were working in Libya.

Russia does not have any punch left to fight against US, let alone NATO combined.

Its support of NATO? I don't think NATO would exist without USA...

That being said, why are you not a fan of NATO?

That's what I thought on first reading. Whoever the OP is that posted this (I'm too lazy to look back) ...kind of calls into question his credibility. May be time for a new ET handle.
