Libya rebels are fucked

some countries tried to get multilateral support going, others didn't care enough, and others just didn't care

I'm more interested in whether some EU nations continue buying oil from Gadaffi after he defeats the rebellion now.

I heard some french dude on BBC today railing the US for their wishy washy response, and that the french were ready to defend the rebels. wtf is stopping them? why cant they take the lead on this instead of waiting for the US to make an action.

time for france and UK to STFU about bitching about the US not doing anything and start acting on their own.

last i checked, people (including myself) bitched when the US went into iraq unilaterally, but now it seems like they have a legit reason.

Screw France, what have they done on the world stage of any significance since the 40s? Sucked us into Vietnam? Yeah, thanks for that.

We all know that most these countries that are sitting on their thumbs waiting for the U.S. to go in now will almost for sure start a bashing session before the dust even settles. Sorry rest of the world, no air power to protect the flow of oil to Red China. Do it yourselves for once!!!!!
