In an interview with John Baron, a British Member of Parliament and one of the few who voted against taking action in Libya, RT discussed the possibility of all-out war in this country.

2. Of course there is no exit strategy. All of this is designed to be endless.

For all practical purposes, the death of Bin Laden has achieved nothing. This war has been set up to be open-ended. It is a war against an ideal that is never going to go away.

The United States has meddled in Middle Eastern policy for decades, and will continue to do so as long as there are financial interests in the region to be protected. This is going to continue to piss people off, and so we will be fighting this "war on terror" forever.

4. Oh, don't be so pessimistic. Not 'forever'.

Only until the oil runs out.

3. NATO Forces Prepared for a 90-Day Operation

It still has about a month to go. Might be wise to wait until at least 90 days before making that pronouncement.
