Right. But YOU CANT say that we should accept refugees coz we are in EU. The law of EU is not a source for accepting refugees.
We sign up some contracts, our law is compatible with international conventions, and we will obey this LAW.

Poland already signed up for it. The time for opt-outs was a while back. That's kind of the idea behind the EU, cede an amount of sovereignty in exchange for other benefits.

I see now that You are ignorant as far as european law is concerned. You don`t see the difference between international law and european law.

All countries are doing exactly the same thing, minding their own business first. Shocker, I know!

The discussion was EU law and Polish obligations under it.

Poland is in NATO no?

NATO is a defense treaty. The attack on Libya is just being coordinated through the NATO command structure.

So it is official: Nato appeals for more planes.
Only a few of Nato's 28 members - including France, the UK, Canada, Belgium, Norway and Denmark - are conducting air strikes.

As far as war situtations are concerned or how they call them nowadays 'humanitarian actions' started and covered by UN only what the US says is important. ;)

it's been confirmed that the planes in question (10 more needed on daily basis) are specifically U.S-built A-10 and AC-130 type designed for ground attack ops. I don't know if Polish air force has any of those...

Fair enough,fly high cover support in your Mig 15s then......

Different thing altogether though not without relevance... I was merely referring to what's been agreed upon during the Nato meeting in Berlin

well, you could have supported Poland much more in the EU than you have (I mean the UK) - we have plenty common interests - among these trying to stop Franco-German hegemony in the EU - but when there was a chance you failed to - now it's different foreign affairs philosophy among the ruling in Poland (you should have noticed the change in government already) and the current philosophy is to be as pro-German as it gets (until they screw us big time :) - so if Angela Merkel says we (Westerners) should stay away from internal Arab strife, Mr Tusk is more than happy to sound equally distanced from the trouble

for sure,probably. Got to admit,I dont bother much with Politics but wasnt part of this down to us having a left wing liberal government while you had,well,not a left wing liberal government? ;)

(ps,in case people didnt guess with my reference to ancient soviet war planes,Im sorta playing devils advocate here,mostly.)

Read the treaty, as BB said, which NATO member is under attack? As for civilians getting slaughtered, it's a tribal civil war.

Against whom? Poltergeist maybe?

Against anyone that decides to attack a member of the treaty. Whether that's Russia, Libya, Iran, China, Vanuatu...

Humanitarian actions...

Saved a lot of lives in Bosnia when the Serbs were slaughtering civilians. Kill the soldiers that are killing civilians is the logic behind it.

Granted maybe,but lets reduce this to human levels, NATO,essentially a bunch of mates,some closer friends than others,but when the push comes to shove mates stick together,they dont pretend to agree then once the sh!t kicks off suddenly hide behind semantics.

What on earth threat was Iraq to Britain (or the US for tha matter)? We still went in with our US allies though didnt we? So did Poland,but,as Ive heard,Poland got paid by the US to be in Iraq.....US not picking up the bill,is that the real reason behind Poland now playing the letter of the treaty game?

It's the case of the British telling themselves 'We are no longer a great power, so we will live as a middling one'

NATO is not an offensive treaty, never was. The command structure is just being used to manage the attack. Countries can still disagree on attacking sovereign nations. If Poland decided to bomb Bahrain or Yemen, do you think the UK would come along? Probably not as the ground attack Typhoons are already overstretched as is. Poland doesn't have the money for an offensive war...neither does the UK or the US for that matter. Why should they get involved if no NATO member was attacked?

In a way, yes. The Libya crisis is huge instability on Europe's borders. Action now is necessary in order to forestall much bigger problems later. NATO have to take the strategic long view rather than just firefighting.

Everything could potentially cause bigger problems later. NATO is a defense treaty, not a police force.
