    Whens the last time you saw Saif? I think he's up to something in the background and will emerge from this as the one who topples his father.

    Really think if they want to end the conflict you need to send in ground troops,cant win a war through airpower alone!
    Hopefully none of ours!

    Disagree, norway. If they really want to end the conflict, they should do what David Cameron's father should have done.

    Pull out.

    You pull out now BB there will be a civil war for sure , then a possible uncontrolled power vacuum! just the right condition for bin laden and his boys! Now the UN has started it has to finish ,remove the current regime and assist in the installation o fa new government,one that isnt just going to copy the old regime!! In my eyes a very tough job!! whatever happens it needs to be done quickly and get Libya back to some sort of normalcy!

    I don't think we should have got involved but if we were to stop now we would be directly responsible for thousands of deaths.

    Best we can do is maintian the air cover and supply weapons to the rebels via the Arab world. Please - no NATO forces on the ground

    All the Norwegians are getting a good living out of the oil. Prior to oil it was the poorest nation in Europe now the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund owns 40% of the stocks in Europe and has a guaranteed income for the future wellbeing of the nation. You have some of the highest taxes with some of the highest salaries and whats good is that there is a high quality of life/standard of living there and the taxes are well spent.

    Special forces needed in Libya, my preference is the French Foreign Legion. Pull out now would be madness, mass defection is the way to win this war which means upping the propoganda ante.

    your road system is excellent considering the obstacles you have, very expensive those tunnels and bridges, better off using boats.

    What you need to do in Norway though is ban women from driving when the temperature drops below 5, female skid control on ice just isnt good enough!!!!!
