Spear waving

At a meeting on Friday, EU leaders demanded that Gaddafi step down.

So that’s it, then: sweaty and terrified, the man who has run Libya with the iron fist these forty-odd years, whose Alma Mater is the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, will flee to whichever country will take him.


Or, let’s be open, maybe he will fall off his chair laughing, hit his head and die.

According to der Spiegel, the EU leaders kept open the possibility of military action, but felt that would require the agreement of the Arab League and the United Nations. Well, my dears.

It would also require that the EU had a viable army, which fortunately it doesn't.

Just think how much money we could save getting rid of these professional lunchers. In fact we could save plenty if they promised just to have the lunches and not do the ineffective spear waving.
