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."But first, we figured we'd let the massacres go on for the better part of a month, instead of just going in there and getting it over with."
"We think alike. Well, except for the part where, after the Muslim Brotherhood takes over Libya, I hang you and the French out to dry, like Ike did in the Suez Crisis."
I like Ike, but he did F Up big time on that one.
The Brits and the French were always prepared to go alone on this, but they need at least tacit approval from the White house. Neither will risk another suez. So, if you want to know why the massacres were allowed to go on for a month, ask your US State Dept. They were the ones umming and ahhing over a no-fly zone.
