Seriously. I can't believe Snoop and Rebekah's comments. It's like we had weeks to act. Tom Send a noteboard - 20/03/2011 10:27:40 PM
As it was, we nearly hit too late for Benghazi. There is still some fighting going on in the suburbs as it is because we were almost too late. Waiting even 24 hours might have doomed our actions, which would have been even worse because now that we've declared we will act, we have to see things through and remove Qaddhafi.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Apparently Qatar is about to join the fray... it is rather crucial that the Arab world backs this. Legolas - 20/03/2011 05:50:14 PM 929 Views

Because when you get involved in what is, unfortunately, an internal matter, Rebekah - 20/03/2011 11:18:16 PM 877 Views
Qatar is not part of Libya so it would still be outsiders interfering in an internal matter random thoughts - 21/03/2011 12:25:30 AM 902 Views

So let me get this straight: Tom - 22/03/2011 06:48:53 PM 977 Views
It's not about "legitimacy" so much as it is about, to use the ugly word, propaganda. Legolas - 21/03/2011 10:33:12 PM 829 Views
The only support I've seen Qaddhafi get is from the rogues gallery of world pariahs. Tom - 21/03/2011 11:01:54 PM 948 Views
Indeed. And they should make sure it stays that way. Legolas - 21/03/2011 11:05:42 PM 968 Views
