Gaddafi 'paranoid' |
2011-05-28 |
[Al Jazeera] Citing British intelligence reports, a European diplomatic source said on Friday that aging dictator Muammar Qadaffy has become increasingly "One quite striking thing is the fact that Qadaffy appears to be moving from hospital to hospital, spending each night in a different one, and his motive appears quite clear," the source said. "He is Perfidious Albion deployed Apache helicopters to Libya on Friday, marking a shift in tactical approach toward ending Qadaffy's rule. According to Nick Harvey, British junior defence minister, the helicopters would offer "a weapon with a greater degree of precision, which is better able to hit targets, including moving ones, and with a lower risk of collateral damage." But Jim Murphy, the shadow defence front man, warned that the Apaches would "put British service personnel in greater danger", as they fly lower and are more vulnerable to surface-to-air missiles and potentially smaller weapons than they had been with higher-flying vehicles. The commander of NATO's operation for the North African country said on Friday that French and British helicopters will be put into action in Libya under the military alliance's command as soon as they are ready. "These helicopters will be operated under the Unified Protector mandate... they will be brought into action as soon as they are ready," Lieutenant General Charles Bouchard told a briefing. |

#3 'Paranoid' makes for a snazzier headline. 'Fear' & an 'attempt to evade consequences of one's actions' are descriptions too mundane, although more accurate. Karma's a bitch. |
