Britain is ready to launch a surgical strike to assassinate Colonel Gaddafi. Defence Secretary Liam Fox said yesterday he would sanction a ‘bunker buster’ attack on the Libyan dictator’s lair as long as civilian casualties could be avoided.

Dr Fox vowed to destroy the Libyan dictator’s entire military infrastructure as senior officials privately admitted they want to engineer regime change.

As Britain launched further strikes using Tomahawk cruise missiles last night and RAF strike jets prepared for a second night of raids, fears grew of ‘mission creep’ in the military assault intended to enforce the United Nations resolution authorising a no-fly zone over Libya.

Three Cabinet ministers refused to rule out the eventual deployment of British ground troops, saying only that there are no plans to do so ‘at the moment’.

So who/what is going to replace this half-baked idiot Gadhaffi?

Al Qaeda has influence among the people there.

Besides... There already ARE boots on the ground:

SAS teams are on the ground in Libya with orders to pinpoint and destroy Colonel Gaddafi’s weapons.

Dozens of the crack troops have been operating behind enemy lines to identify targets for bombing raids.

Highly-trained units, known as ‘Smash’ teams for their prowess and destructive ability, have carried out secret reconnaissance missions to provide up-to-date information on the Libyan armed forces.


A senior defence source confirmed that there are special forces operating in Libya and that more could be sent.

The source said: ‘What is ruled out? An invasion. What is not ruled out? Everything else.

We’ll see just how big the outrage really is by the left in all of this. Bu guess some faint complaints, but will quickly be quiet.

The UN authorized a no fly zone not a regime change. Stop this illegal war and impeach the ditherer in chief now!

On second thought the Brits are probably paying off AQ not to hit them, after all they were more than willing to turn the plane bomber out of their jail.
