General Richards thinks it would be O.K.

I can't agree.

It would remove from our screens the only public speaker who sounds amusingly like the aliens from "Mars Attacks".

He said it was necessary to prevent the Libyan dictator remaining in power.

The UK and other countries have been bombing Libya under a UN resolution authorising force to protect civilians'''''''

"If we do not up the ante now there is a risk that the conflict could result in Gaddafi clinging to power.


I am no legal expert here but ultra vires [ beyond the power] springs to mind

......direct attacks should be launched against the infrastructure propping up Colonel Gaddafi's regime.

Beautiful bit of manipulating public opinion there, by suggesting that this hasn't been the case all along. Propaganda at its very best - sophisticated and subtle. Sucker Britannia.

Personally I think Gaddafi needs to stop ****ing around in Libya and get back to playing bass for Kiss.

Are we not still claiming to be taking action solely to prevent civilian casualties, and specifically [u]not[/u] to accomplish regime change?

So what's a General doing lamenting that "there is a risk that the conflict could result in Gaddafi clinging to power"?

Good question. But it could be seen purely from a military point of view, their job was to help civilians not die, Gaddafi being in power is leading to them being killed, him clinging to power would lead to more being killed. Not quite that simple though I'm sure 😀

I can't keep up with all this - didn't he swap places with Charlie Sheen a few months ago ? It's Beverley Hills they really need to bomb.

Look, whatever gives Obama the best chance of getting re-elected is what's going to happen.

That's why Summer Bed Linen wasn't given the option of a trial.

After a courtship like that I can only assume you got married the next day

Nope, it worked; I came across as deep and into music,rather than a walking hormone (I was 19)
