I was talking about the atomic bombs, North Korea, Iran, that stuff.

Not true. The human race has been subject to these basic imperatives for thousands of years now, and we have thrived. We have kids, kids grow up, we get to the point where we have too many people, we have a war. Population self-regulates itself, so on the whole it works out pretty well, if mercilessly.

Off-topic and unrelated to anything in this thread though.

Libya's military have apparently downed Nato planes.

Also, 48 people have believed to been killed by the strikes so far.

Well, the one thing this thread has been lacking is a true conspiracy theorist.

sigh.... if you dont know what you are talking about go read up, realise its nt about democracy, or troops or the ground or just the west, the arab leagues have sent their aircraft. well done on missing the point entirely
 
UK planes and pilots all accounted for too, so somehow doubt the story is true.

What is this I don't even
 
1.26am: A statement from Defence Secretary Dr Liam Fox has more details of the British military forces involved:

We made clear that if Gaddafi did not comply with the UN Security Council Resolution 1973, it would be enforced through military action. Our armed forces have therefore participated in a co-ordinated international coalition strike against key military installations.

We have launched Tomahawk land attack missiles from a Trafalgar Class submarine and Storm Shadow missiles from Tornado GR4s. The fast jets flew 3,000 miles from RAF Marham and back, making this the longest range bombing mission conducted by the RAF since the Falklands conflict. This operation was supported by VC10 and Tristar air-to-air refuelling aircraft as well as E3D Sentry and Sentinel surveillance aircraft.

HMS Westminster is off the coast of Libya and HMS Cumberland is in the region ready to support operations. Typhoon aircraft are also standing by to provide support.

Our capable and adaptable armed forces are once again displaying their courage and professionalism. This action has provided a strong signal - the international community will not stand by while the Libyan people suffer under the Gaddafi regime.

1.17am: The UK military has officially confirmed that Royal Air Force planes also took part on the attack on Gaddafi's forces, with flights by GR4 Tornados firing Storm Shadow missiles – a European version of the cruise missile – at targets in Libya:

A statement from the Chief of Defence Staff's strategic communications officer Major General John Lorimer:

British armed forces, as authorised by the UN Security Council Resolution 1973, have participated in a co-ordinated strike against Libyan air defence systems.

In addition to the Tomahawk land attack missiles (TLAM) launched from a Trafalgar Class submarine, I can now confirm that the RAF has also launched Storm Shadow missiles from a number of Tornado GR4 fast jets, which flew direct from RAF Marham as part of a co-ordinated coalition plan to enforce the resolution.

1.08am: The US State Department has tonight released an advisory notice recommending against American journalists traveling to Libya. A spokesman said that no US officials remain in the country, and advised that US citizens already in Libya should get out immediately.
 
0121: Libyan state television is also quoting the military as saying its troops have "downed the barbaric, unjust, Crusading enemy's war jets".
 
From a personal perspective, there are plenty of Lybians near where i live, and they are literally dancing about this
 
Hmmm. The planes Gaddafi has at his disposal are decrepit: old, outdated MiGs and some even older Sukhois. They can't ever take on the likes of a Typhoon or even a Tornado in a straight fight, so they're going to have to rely on (again outdated, though effective) anti-aircraft equipment. This at least makes the NATO planes safer, not to mention the fact that air power is more or less the arbiter of sea power nowadays, therefore meaning our navy is much more protected than otherwise.

and most of the more dangerous stuff, the SA-6 sites etc, will be hit by cruise missles as opposed to planes
 
Crusading army? Now that's just low, they should leave religion out of this. It has nothing to do with it.
