Misquoted to the extent of ordering an emergency meeting of the Arab League uh? Wibble Send a noteboard - 20/03/2011 05:41:45 PM
and I think Russia and China were never in favour of it.


They also were never against it. They wouldn't vote for cause they never do, they wouldn't vote against as then when the massacre happens they carry the burden of no-UN invovlement, so they instead do the usual, abstain and then go "Oh noes, this is horrible, please stop". It's duplicitous at best.

As for Amr Moussa, the old convenient misquote uh? By the time anythings said about it it's already too late as the news has flown round the world, and reports are coming in of the "cracks in the coalition". And what part of a misquote requires an emergency meeting?

Apparently Qatar is about to join the fray... it is rather crucial that the Arab world backs this. Legolas - 20/03/2011 05:50:14 PM 880 Views
