'We are not at war,’ says Prime Minister Fillon

Au début de l'agression contre la Libye, l'empire était déjà très malade à la crise économique créée par les institutions financières et les banques, les usuriers, le tout avec l'approbation de ses politiciens et les dirigeants. La différence était que pour la première fois dans l'histoire, l'Empire n'avait pas réussi à télécharger la crise pour les autres peuples du monde, comme cela a été utilisé .. D'où les répercussions énormes dans les classes inférieures et les classes moyennes aux Etats-Unis et en Europe, la privatisation et le démantèlement de l'État providence, réalisé avec de grands sacrifices par les citoyens. Au moment où les impérialistes lancé l'assaut sur le pétrole libyen, les dieux ou la nature avec une force incroyable a frappé le Japon, causant des dommages inmenzamente l'emportent sur les avantages que les impérialistes voulaient se rendre au pillage de pétrole libyen. . Une pénalité de la nature que tout le monde, y compris les Libyens Kadhafi et qu'il pourrait vouloir Empire manque .. maintenant que les dieux existent ou non, donner l'empire, le glas puni, à tout moment, cataclysme, dixième année, a annoncé, sur les rives du San Francisco et la Californie. Espérons que cela n'arrivera pas Cataclysm est annoncé et nous l'espérons, que les Impériaux ont fini de détruire toute sécurité pour aller en Libye.

The first name of the Prime Minister is "François," not "Francois"

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,
While i have some sympathy for the situation you find yourself and your country in at the current time, i'm confused. if it is not war, is it then...... peace????

And the good French in Tripoli were on the AXIS side of the war until the Allies stormed the beaches and the French suddenly switched sides, threw down their arms and embraced the Allies.

And typical to the French, when Japan took over French Indochina, AKA Vietnam, they were very quick to surrender to the Japanese invaders and were quickly hired by the Japanese to control the Vietnamese people for Japan while WWII took place.

Then after the war they were very quick to regain control of the area for themselves so they could continue to rape Vietnam and it's people until they finally gave up and let the US finish the dirty work they started.

And didn't the French have a truly wonderful military response to defend their nation in both WWI and WWII.

The shortest book in the world? "Successful French Military Campaigns in History."

And we honestly give any credibility this historical parasitic government has to say?

Now if you really want to do something positive. get the US out of NATO and the UN and stop giving foreign aide and promoting business in countries where the majority of the people seem to hate American's and American influence. Remove all troops from France, Germany and anywhere else where those governments overtly castigate and denigrate the US at every opportunity.

Then when billions of American Tax dollars are no longer serving their governments and they can defend themselves by them selves against all other foreign powers perhaps they will start singing a different tune.

War is an openly declared state of organized violent conflicts. - if its not "war" then what is it?

Well for all you French folk, we're (the US) not at war either, in fact we don't really know what we are at this time and previously, the future is still undecided.

Here's the motto: The enemy of our enemy is still just our enemy..so who knew?

There will be "Payback" in France, UK and the USA by Qaddafi.

What is your goal sir? I understand you are doing as Bush and other Americans have done but you are resisting taking any real responsibility, knowing that you have criticized the United States (you hope) into oblivion... You have bullyied citizens of the United States and yes, even welcomed them into your open arms as expatriots... so that the Present Obama can acquire the presidency... now what are you?: Present in Libya. Well guess what ... you may think the Americans are not awake, but alas, sir, we are!!!

Amusing how France starts a war (or "not war"), and it asks its allies to support their op, and the muslim world blames the US. Go figure.

How come we are told that Gadhafi was killing his own people - but when it comes to atrocities by our military - it is only the lowest level private or seargant who is responsible not our leader? We don't say Obama was sport killing civilians in Afghanistan... so subtle the propaganda twist - yet so effective. Everyone I talk to parrots those exact words as justification for this new war ... "Gadhafi was killing his own people","Gadhafi was killing his own people", "Gadhafi was killing his own people".

I don't see this as protecting the civilians. Now the ratbastard is out killing more than before. UN resolution and the supposed coalition is weak sauce. They are trying to stuff 10-lbs in a 2-lb box. Amazingly dumb.

And there was no eminent threat to the US...but BO says this ain't no war...could have fooled me, nah not really. It is what it is and Obama is doomed.

War by committee. LOL

Want to fight? Good. I'll hold your coat.

Sir, when you drop a bomb on a sovereign country, you are committing an act of war. It may be for humanitarian reasons, but your reasons don't define what it is, your actions do.

Our POTUS just got us into a THIRD war, without a comment to Congress nor a word to the American people. A unilateral decision, where he consulted world heads of state and the UN. There is nothing in our laws that allow this, without some sort of imminent danger to the US.

Looks like politicians are the same the world over. Doing something in their own interest, while calling it something completely different. But it doesn't matter how many times you yell 'whale!', if it waddles, quacks and has feathers, it's a duck.

Your 'feelings' are enough to commit your individual person to socking some other guy in the nose, but they're not enough to take your entire country into war where it's their time, energy, blood and money that is at stake.

If the strength of your convictions are so deep that you believe that taking this guy out is important on a humanitarian level, then where does it stop? Is the west going to take it upon themselves to uproot every nasty tinpot dictator on the planet?

omg DON'T back down now! We have a lapcat president and it is time for others to realize it. America in majority regrets the faux "HOPE" president they ellected when they were drunk on the koolaid called "Hope and Change" .

The 'coalition' attacked a Libyan military column and has launched muliple cruise missile salvos throughout Libya.
And it continues....
That is war by it very definition.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON???

If one sovereign state uses its military to attack and destroy another sovereign states military and restrict its airspace, that is war.. You can use whatever verbiage you wish but it will not conceal the fact that your country attacked another country, regardless of the rationale.

France and the other allies are in a civil war in which they have chosen the side of the rebels. Who are the rebels, who is funding them and providing them with weapons, and are their leaders socialists or Islamic extremists?

When the world is one big money-grubbing corporation and government leaders are its knee-jerk puppets, why should anyone be surprised by the puppets' apparent sloppiness, back-biting and utter confusion when waging a sudden war for profit -- under the guise of humanitarianism?

Make not mistake, this is a war.

“We are not at war with Libya, we are protecting the civilian population,” said Fillon What a bunch of BS. Sorry, but when you drop bombs on a country and kill people in the process I don't care what you say or who you are--you just committed an act of war. Actions speak louder then words! Those attacked have every right to defend themselves however they can. The United States and all her allies are guilty of attacking a country that did not attack any or threaten any of their countries! The people of this world are tired of all the self righteous hypocrites who could care less about the Libyan people but covet their oil!

I find it rather odd that anyone would think they could attack another country and NOT assume they are at war! It matters not what you think of Quaddafi; you had better believe he thinks HE is at war.

If he survives he WILL retaliate!

'we're not at war...' isn't that France's national motto?

HAHAHA!!! You've got to be kidding me? We're not at war? Of course we are and it's been declared under the guise of humanitarian aid. Why now? Why Libya? Why aren't y'all launching cruise missiles into Yemen, Bahrain, Iran, Egypt, etc etc etc? Same thing is happening over there yet only Libya gets bombarded. I'm tired of warmongers and am embarrassed by my country's (USA) actions over the years.
