America do it properly
We apparently cant afford this so instead we give billions away every year as 'international aid' charity starts at home.

This is actually easier done than said.
If i was in power i would heras fence lybian boundary and just drop a nuke in the centre. Job done.
Probably cost a bomb to pay for the amount of fencing though

just been reading up on our 3 invincible class aircraft carriers, why are they refitting Illustrious if it is due for decommission in 2014? also what becomes of them? do we sell them? strip them? store them?
Our Carrier's look quite pathetic next to the American ones too
They have 10 of these and the bigger USS Enterprise
They also seem to be building 3 new super carriers too, We are well an truly in their shadow it seems

If you look there though, the runway is the same size, just more deck space. They need more aircraft as their FA18's are only half as capable as our FA2 was. Bigger isn't always better remember, if someone fired a torpedo that missed the front of our carriers by 50 feet, it would have inpacted theirs. Several smaller carriers mean that if one is sunk, there is another still afloat (as the saying goes 'don't put all your eggs in one basket')
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Well that makes me feel a little bit better about our small Navy
Although they have alot more baskets than us 11 Aircraft carriers with more being built, while we only have 1...which isn't even in the water an is due to be decomissioned Although the 2 Queen Elizabeth class look quite decent, only have to wait a decade until they are in service

Fuck America. If we mobilised this country to it's full potential we could take on the Yanks they are nothing. I'd love us to go to war with them and have our German brothers standing side by side with us.

A jet has just gone down over Libya. No reports yet as to whose it was.

Probably, this more or less means our planes are going to go in to enforce the no fly zone though, along with the US, france etc. What happened to the cease fire?
