| 1183954 | 2011-03-07 23:54:00 | Why the hell isn't the UN doing something? Why would they? China and the EU have a lot at stake there, Gandalf's regeme is preferable with the unknown. Mass rebellion, which is what we are seeing now, has a huge potential to turn into radicalized movement. What the hell did the UN do in the bloodbath that was Sudan? Not a god damn thing. They're there now though for all it's worth. |

Pity someone cant drop some good arms to those guys, they are very brave taking on Ghadaffi's army . But it does seem that his army is not very big or up to much. I would not mind taking on his elite body guard in a wrestling match. And yes the UN is useless, when have they ever acted quickly to stop a war etc ? I think it may go back to about 1950 (Korea ?) |

Huge numbers a mutinous. Most are waiting to see how things play out, to wind up on the winning team - of if nothing else neutrality. Some will stay loyal till the end, there are many who owe everything to the colonel and have been with him for a long time. The elite units are armed and trained ver well, and to a comparable standard with European forces. They will be the last to break, but once they do it's over. |
