We have bombed Gadaffis compound in tripoli – hardly protecting civilians. We are complicit in the arming of the rebels.
of course you have definitive proof to share with us that a. it was a UK action, b. that there was no target that would comply with the UN resolution present in the compound.
please present your evidence
It is very clear that the UK forces are not acting to protect civilians but to support the rebel side
so no action has saved civilian life?
please list all the actions and present your evidence
can you list all th opportunity targets rebel and Gadafi forces that have not been hit, comment on the proximity of civilians and then state if the non targetting was politically motivated or not. please present your evidence
and the fallicy
If we wanted to stop civilian deaths we would be telling both sides that any aggressive move gets them bombed – but no – we are supporting the rebel side to attack their legitimate government.
as the rebels are in effect civilians with guns, how will you distinguish between rebels and civilians? what happens if civilians move into the target zone when you have released the weapons?
please give us the guidelines that you propose for use in selecting targets
the problem with kinectic force is that it does not discriminate and no targetting system is perfect, the only way to stop UK munitions killing people in Libya is not to fire them. The problem with that is you have to accept the consequences of inaction. Hence the fallicy of your position
