UK forces are preparing to help enforce a no-fly zone over Libya after the UN backed "all necessary measures", short of an invasion, to protect civilians.
Many Thanks

Well, I am quite elated that Denmark is going to send seven of its fighterplanes to Malta in preparation for possible operations to enforce the UN decision. Even Sweden, through its foreign minister, Baron Carl Bildt has left the option open to use armed forces to dissuade the criminal gang currently in charge in Tripoli not to defy the UN decision. And, lo and behold! Who's decaring a cease-fire now! I think the colonel's baggy pants (or skirt, never know what that syphilitic-looking drug-addict is wearing!) got quite brown and wet by the international's resolve - finally! I am of the opinion that, at the beginning of this new millenia, it is our duty to rid ourselves of all those petty, petulant, mini-tyrants around the world, who are so instrumental in oppressing their own people and holding them back from progress and increased living standards! Let us rid ourselves of Mugabe, Chavez, Lukashenko, the Burmese Junta, Kim Jong-Il and his half-mad sons etc! That kind of pro-activism would a an actual service in the long run for mankind, since we would experience, eventually, a much more stable and peaceful world. Hey, we might be able to, legitimately cut down on our military!

The Norwegian government is considering sending F-16 and Lockheed P-3 Orion. (The Norwegian government is known to use very long time to decide! They are not as they were in the 60's and 70's, (then they decided in hour!)) :twisted: But we are not hard to ask, so long one does not ask those from the **** Socialist parties (Flower my a**!) :D :D :lol:

But we have had quite for a long time been a part of (from what I understand in the Norwegian media, which is a bit like ...!) in form of the NATO-force "Airborne Early Warning & Control Force", in those NATO planes "E3A AWACS"

Vikings from North :lol:
