lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, David Cameron’s support for the UN resolution to overthrow the Gaddafi regime in Libya is a classic example of the short-sighted reaction to events which these days takes the place of any proper strategic thinking on the international stage. By overthrowing a dictator using a bombing campaign, we created anarchy in Libya and left a power vacuum which the murderers of Islamic State have been able to exploit. What this has led to is a humanitarian crisis on the EU’s external borders, the consequences of which we saw this summer and continue to see in the Mediterranean, in Scandinavia, Calais, and of course the recent disgraceful events in Germany. And now the EU wants to lead the military mission in resolving the situation in Libya, as we heard from the Chairman of the EU Military Committee at last week’s defence committee meeting. I would suggest that rather than dilute our sovereignty further by joining up with the doomed-to-fail EU mission, the UK Government instead learn from its mistakes and stop rushing in to remove leaders without considering the consequences."@en1
