Wow, check Al Jazeera. People of Libya are cheering!

I bet the usa is firing up the fighters right now.

Yaay!

[QUOTE=Spetzaz;28658790]What's an obstention?[/QUOTE] Abstention, no vote. (Or was this a joke on his pronunciation?)

It's adopted.

Here we go, shits about to go down...

Hooray!

FUCK YOU GADDAFI LET'S GO YOU'RE GOING DOWN. Let's hope they aren't launching a surprise attack right now.

Im so fucking happy :D

Well Gaddafi, prepare your anus. I will never say the UN does nothing ever again.

Gaddafi should be shitting his pants right now.

I am so fucking happy I stumbled across this thread. If I had been here minutes later, I would've missed all this.

Awesome!

I didn't see it, did it pass easily or was there quite some votes against

[QUOTE=The mouse;28658891]So was it passed? :dance:[/QUOTE] Yep, its passed, 10 for, 0 against, 5 abstain. People in Benghazi are celebrating on AJE.

Begun, the clone wars have.

My heart goes out to the rebels in Libya. May the missiles go out to Gaddafi and his loyalists.

Who abstained except for China? Why did the abstain?

[QUOTE=Fort83;28658921]Way to late, this should have happened so long ago, not after countless libyans die and Gaddafi forces are surrounding the last bit of rebel opposition. Gaddafi isn't even going to attack the city of Benghazi, he's going to surround the city and let the fear of what will happen make the people leave. At least that is what he told his son.[/QUOTE] He's been hitting the city strongly for days now. They've almost broke through the rebel lines and retaken the city today.

To those who say the UN does nothing, just watch the Al Jazeera stream

Any word on the current armed forces close by?

[QUOTE=jaykray;28658939]Who abstained except for China? Why did the abstain?[/QUOTE] They are against it but they have veto power, this suggests they are not that strongly against it.
