if these news is true, we are making another grave mistake,don't meddle in other countries culture cause we stand to lose life's of young servicemen and we've lost hundreds don't need anymore losses just bring back the boys.

If Cameron and his cohorts had any sense at all they'd keep the UK well out of it. After very nearly 20 years of continually fighting wars, one illegal, one very dubious and the wars in the Balkans a complete waste of UK taxpayers money you would have thought that something had been learnt. Apparently not! We've an Army overstretched and underfunded, a Navy with nothing more than a handful of ships and an Airforce with very few aircraft. I remember 1938/9 when our armed services were in a similar shape and the country had a twerp for a PM and look where that led us.

Wouldn't happen to be some oil there would there ?

When will our governments learn that this sort of thng is not our problem and we just cannot afford to pay for these silly antics. I always thought that Cameron was a duffer and if we go in here it proves it.

Can anyone please tell me which party to vote for, at the next hopefully soon General Election, that will not engage us in another illegal war that will also last for years costing us multi billions of pounds and the lives of hundreds if not thousands of our brave troops. I'm slowly running out of options.

Aw bloomin heck no...We cannot afford to enter into another illegal war. I was always under the opinion that the only time you could use violence against another was when you felt threatened. This, like Iraq and Afghanistan is all about regime change. Bet you wont see many other EU countries taking part. Come on government, admit it, once again it is all about oil. Lets hope our few remaining troops that are not illegaly occupying any other country like the Libyan weather......Looks like you are going to be there for quite a few years, it is not just Gaddafi, he has one hell of a lot of supporters. better keep open Wooten Bassett, looks like we are going to need it very shortly. And another thing.....were is Cameron getting this money from to fight another illegal war.....Ah yes...increase student fees...put up vat to 20%....take child allowance offthe middle class, now we know why he did these things. Please tell me why I voted Tory.

Why on earth would we be sending in troops? Have'nt we got enough on our plates elsewhere! It's a Libyian problem,let them or the other middle east countries sort it out,without any intervention by the UK. We cant afford to get involved with other countries problems.

You'd think after Afghanistan and Iraq we'd learn not to meddle in other nations internal conflicts.
