The United Nations Security Council approved a resolution Thursday evening authorizing a no-fly zone over Libya and other measures military action against Libya.

The vote was 10-0 with five abstentions, including Russia and China.

The United States, France and Britain pushed for speedy approval because Muammar al-Qaddafi's forces are advancing toward opposition-held Benghazi. The Libyan leader vowed Thursday night to oust the rebels from their eastern stronghold.

France. They are the main user of Lybian crude.

Britain second, because P.M. Cameron is at the head.

U.S. last, because Obama-the-spineless can't make a fucking decision on anything more important than the March Madness matchups

Didn't Qaddafi say he was not going to send any oil to any western country (except Germany) because of their "behavior" during this shit? Pretty sure he said all of their exports would go to "eastern" countries from now on anyway.

Yup, and that's the only reason anyone in Europe is acting against him now.

This shit storm is getting bigger everyday. The Obama admin is siding with protesters shiites etc and basically digging a grave for us. This man needs to go he is clueless and a terrible spineless leader. From what I just read the King of Saudi after a call with Obozo will not host Gates or Clinton for talks due to "Illness" which IMO means he basically told them to go fuck themselves. This is only getting worse Libya wont give us anything now and the King of Saudi doesnt seem very happy either. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/18/wo...diplomacy.html

UN is a joke. It took this long to get the no fly zone enacted with all these big heads talking about supporting it.

I saw this last night and got so pissed off, all I could think was, "Don't you have better things to do?"

[GhostTX]

Don't worry, they won't enforce it now. Quaddafi said he'll attack civilians if they do:

Colonel Gadafi threatened retaliatory attacks on passenger aircraft in the Mediterranean on Thursday night if foreign countries launched air strikes against Libya.

"Any foreign military act" would expose "all air and maritime traffic in the Mediterranean Sea" as targets for a counter attack, the Libyan regime said. The warning was issued after America formally backed a joint British and French initiative for a no-fly zone over Libya and other military action against Col Gadafi's regime.
