'UKIP considers this intervention the wrong decision' - Nigel Farage

• "This military intervention in Libya is ill-thought out, unprepared and unjustified, UKIP Leader Nigel Farage said today.

"The War coalition has no coherent strategy for North Africa and the Middle East, and is walking into a chaotic situation of which it knows little.

"UKIP considers it rash for ill-equipped soldiers and airmen of this country to be led into an open-ended commitment which reminds us of Afghanistan.

"There is no exit strategy or even clear objectives in this war. We have gone into Libya - but where does it stop? Should we also go into Yemen, Bahrain and then Syria? 

"The fact is that it is difficult to differentiate between the worthiness of rebels and leaders in different countries.

"UKIP considers this intervention the wrong decision."
