40 Years In The Desert: It's Official, Libya is a Bug Hunt

40 Years In The DesertIt's Official, Libya is a Bug Hunt

http://40yrs.blogspot.com/2011/06/its-official-libya-is-bug-hunt.html
Posted: 10 Jun 2011 06:05 PM PDT
So a NATO Spokesman has just admitted that NATO is attempting to assassinate Muammar Gaddafi:
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.

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.
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.

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

Christopher Elliott: Who's the worst company in America?


Can anyone agree on which company has the worst service? I have the answer here. After Delta's little dust-up with its luggage fees charged to soldiers, I also have a few thoughts on the true cost of flying

Over at CBS Interactive, I've got posts on the things companies do to annoy customers and on Spirit's questionable questionnaire.

As always, this message is brought to you by our good friends at Floridavacationauction.com. Check them out if you're thinking of a Florida vacation (I will be later this year!).

Delta Apologizes for Charging Returning Troops $2,800 Baggage Fee

Delta Airlines is apologizing to a unit of soldiers returning from Afghanistan for charging them more than $2,800 in checked bag fees on their flight from Baltimore to Atlanta on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, after news of the charges rocketed around the Internet and generated widespread criticism of Delta, the company announced on its blog that it was immediately changing its policy for active duty military personnel traveling on orders to allow them to check up to five bags in first and business class. However, the policy did not seem to be changed for military personnel flying coach class, who are allowed to check up to three bags for free...   http://atwar.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/08/delta-apologies-for-charging-returning-troops-2800-baggage-fee/
