Obama warns Gaddafi as France UK draft no-fly zone resolution

Share:

Britain and France are drafting a U.N. resolution that would establish a no-fly zone in Libya.

British Foreign Secretary William Hague told the House of Commons Monday that Britain is “working closely with partners on a contingency basis on elements of a resolution on a no-fly zone.”

A British diplomat at the U.N. stressed that the draft resolution is being prepared in case it is needed but no decision has been made to introduce it at the Security Council. He spoke on condition of anonymity because the draft has not been made public.

Rebel fighters have urged establishment of a no-fly zone, saying they can take on Moammar Gadhafi’s elite ground forces, but are outgunned if he uses his air power.

Obama warns

US President Barack Obama warned Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and his aides today that they will be held accountable for war crimes, and that the U.S. and NATO are considering possible responses that include potential military action.

“We’ve got NATO as we speak consulting in Brussels around a wide range of potential options, including potential military options, in response to the violence that continues to take place inside of Libya,” Obama told reporters after a meeting with Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard.

Obama did not specify any of those options — such as the much-discussed proposal to establish a no-fly zone over Libya — but said he wanted “to send a very clear message to those who are around Colonel Gadhafi.”

    Stupid Americans and Brits, always making trouble so they can steal the Oil and making of this world a nightmare to live.
    We all pay for the greed of those idiots, enough is enough! this is not a “more safe world” like they promised, this is a World wide unrest and We all are in danger of a vindictive action of so called terrorism, Just because the Evil countries want Oil.
    I feel sorry for the people of Libya if the partner with the brits of usa.

      So what have the arabs done to save the Libya and its people from crazy Gaddafi? I see the Americans cannot wait to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan but on the contrary Iran cementing its control all over the Middle East and starting with Bahrain. Only those who support Iran and Al Qaada would say stupid things like you said. They’re providing 160 Millions in aid to those who are fleeing Libya? what have you done for them you idiot? you’re all talk and no action. All you do is arm PLO, Hezbollah to kill their own people. You’re terrorist it seems and terrorists are afraid of America i suppose.

      How can they be stupid if in your opinion they are stealing the oil? Only smart people can steal the oil… However, I never got gas at the pump for free… I as well as other “stupid” Americans do pay for it while the Arabs selling it fill their pockets and hardly ever share the profits with their people, therefore the revolts…

      how delusional are you? let’s see… you are blaming the unrest in libya on the west? are you kidding me? how far will your khara propoganda take you? dont you think one day you will have to face up to reality? which is smacking the whole arab world in the face as we speak….
      qaddafi until a few months ago was beloved by the majority of muslims, hailed as a hero even.
      I personally think the USA should let qaddafi wipe out his people and not interfere….after all, they(USA) dont want to be blamed for any of your animalistic islamic behavior. (this wouldnt be humane though, and you will then say USA watched it happen and did nothing to help the people who were so obviously outmatched)…
      damned if they do and damned if they dont, let em get wiped out who gives a crap anyway, it’s better than shouldering the blame for every little thing that ever ails the islamic jarab.
      sincotara, do you buy your braincells from al manar?
