@ Haak, he might not need one but why should we give him anyway ?
@ Anh Ming, beside those 6 SAS guy and thoses involved into the operation of evacuation their own civilians, I didn't hear about any SOF involved yet on Libya so where did you read about those ''Special Forces with enough gear to assassinate half of Tripoli', ?

I just hope those soldiers weren't caught with sniper rifles and plans of Khaddafi's palace. They should leave themselves something for an encore. |

UK diplomatic team leaves Libya after issues resolved
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/...7252EP20110307 So the SAS team was protecting a ''junior diplomat'' . That rather close of that was said first while making more sence to me.

Obama treads carefully on Libya, rebuffs pressure Quote:
Damn dumbasses can't see that there isn't much of an option for this because the rebels couldn't fight their way through Gaddafi's gunships and jet bombers. And these are the things preventing a sizable supply of oil returning to the world economy and keeping prices affordable since Libya is the No.4 world's oil supplier.

[EDIT: as it turns out, this is an utter piece of tripe - the administrative people actually responsible for the Capital building have disavowed the outlandish estimates being theirs and the Governor's office backed off of the claim... after the FOX news cameras danced off to the next bit of tabloid. The entire news piece is a puppet-charade remouthing lies from the governor's political aides. This is why quoting FOX is the best way to zero your credibility when even the least bit of crosschecking blows FOX out of the water.] This is just another piece of FOX news tripe that derails the topic, misleads the viewer, and is a Murdoch specialty. Why do you keep linking to this crap? Maybe I should start burying the thread in links to the World Weekly News or the National Enquirer - they have as much/more credibility and as little relevance. Meanwhile the *bill* that Gov. Walker wants to force into law still contains: 1) loss of all collective bargaining rights 2) provisions to sell all public utilities to private concerns with no oversight (e.g. the Koch Brothers) 3) provisions to eliminate safe water drinking laws with no oversight 4) provisions to install voter ID requirements that will reduce the votes from the poor and middle class (where's your papers? how much is that ID card?) 5) provisions to weaken various government agencies designed to protect the public from misdeeds by corporations (mini-Bush evisceration of public protections) 6) special tort reform that shields corporations from the sort of lawsuits that might make them accountable for misdeeds. ... and then there's still all those tax cuts, subsidies, and wormholes he has enacted that *put* the state into budgetary crisis. None of Walker's decisions, choices, or agenda actually make any pragmatic sense unless you understand he's the bitchboy of Koch Industries and their friends. Wisconsin is their test case for trying to complete the reformation of the US into a feudal/lord society with little or no middle class. Most of the people supporting these Walker-types don't seem to grasp that THEY are not part of the country club and won't be invited in. Supporters are just serfs with slightly less shit on them to the plutocrats (the 400 people who have accumulated more wealth than 50% of the entire population.. and no most of them didn't "work" for it, they *acquired* it through a variety of means. Even the Wall Street Journal has to cough and stammer on that one )
