40 Years In The Desert: It's Official, Libya is a Bug Hunt
40 Years In The Desert: It's Official, Libya is a Bug Hunt |
A U.N. resolution justifies the targeting of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, a senior NATO military official with operational knowledge of the Libya mission told CNN Thursday.Unsurprising. Since Gadhafi's forces are not folding up under the air assault, the French and the British are desperate to avoid defeat, or worse, the need to send in ground troops, either of which will sink both UK PM Cameron and French President Sarkosy.
Asked by CNN whether Gadhafi was being targeted, the NATO official declined to give a direct answer. The resolution applies to Gadhafi because, as head of the military, he is part of the control and command structure and therefore a legitimate target, the official said.
NATO has been ramping up pressure on the regime, employing helicopters last weekend for the first time against Gadhafi's forces. Explosions are heard often in Tripoli, evidence of allied air strikes.
NATO began bombing Libya on March 31, under a U.N. mandate to protect civilians who have been targeted by Gadhafi's military.
This was intended to be a neat neo-colonial adventure with the attendant electoral boost, killing a few "wogs" for a few votes, but now its looking like a complete clusterf%$#. http://40yrs.blogspot.com/2011/06/its-official-libya-is-bug-hunt.html

20080326 Daily Mail UK: Think this picture of Carla is racy?

[…]
Even so, the First Lady is understandably furious that a nude photo of her went on sale on the eve of her State visit to
Experts say the renewed interest in her is likely to send its price up to £2,000.
But an aide to 40-year-old Mrs Sarkozy said: "Carla is very angry, not to say deeply upset, that a commercial organisation has chosen to release this print at such an important time.
"Her priority is to establish herself on the world stage as a first lady
As well as being the first time that an image of a naked wife of a serving head of state has been sold for profit, it is being touted at a time when Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy and her husband President "Bling Bling" Nicolas Sarkozy are desperately trying to moderate their racy image.

Really. Hmm. Said the French people on Sunday: Take us back,
