#1 If the man, who sanctioned the Lockerbie bombing, survives as leader, then the UKs underwear is the least of our concerns.

#2 There are increasingly limited options to where a dictator can flee these days. It used to be that the world was their oyster, but nobody wants the hassle these days.

#3 Isolationist that I am, I still think some very well placed guided munitions (in the 2,000+ pound range) sent honking in from way, way, way up high.... not a bad idea.

#4 I nominate Dribble for snark of the day:
Everybody is gonna scratch their balls and watch

#5 Good snark indeed Dribble.

However I think the Vampire Vulture Elite of the U.N. are drooling to go in - once things have settled down - to claim credit - and a fresh source of underage girls and boys to exploit. Food for Nookie programs and all that like in other places in Africa.

I get the image of that famous picture of the starving African boy and the patiently waiting vulture.

#6 Dribble, I'm no expert but from all I've heard, as a general rule throughout history, British soldiers do not pee their pants.

#7 Thanks Ebbang . Its the politicians that 'piss their pants' not the soldiers , and for all together differnet reasons than fighting .

We military types roll up our sleeves and get stuck in . To imply we are a feckless bunch of cowards doesnt do you any favours in an otherwise reasonable snark

#8 /mildly offended

Dribble does like to push that offensive limit. He seems at least as knowledgeable as I, but then, I daren't claim to know more than I've learnt here at Rantburg, except in the small areas of my own experience. His writing style, on the other hand, hearkens back to that creative writer who pretended to have spent time in Iraq for The New Republic -- remember him? I'd love to hear from those who've served whether he rings true or not, as I'm not qualified to judge. If I am wrong, I will apologize.
