If anyone has missed the news in the past week, We've just launched a huge international strike on Col Gaddafi and whats left of his army. As last week it all went pair shaped in Libya when Gaddafi's men fired on some innocent civilians protesting for democracy.
From there Libya's population (now to be known as rebels) all grabbed hold of any stray AK47 assault rifles lying around and it all turned a bit personal. Strangely some of the rebels even had high caliber machine guns mounted on the back of their cars! Personally I've never seen that as an out of Garage extra from Toyota but they seem to be rather handy. Naturally theres oil in Libya, so our Armed forces have been sent in ASAP. Maybe Mr C had a bad day but so far we have sent 2 Navel vessels, 2 submarines and 36 Aircraft (joining the rest of the US and UN forces) to teach Gaddafi a lesson on Western Ideology and democracy.
Now it seems like a bit of a weak link but I went paint balling last year, and I seem to remember not being able to afford a huge amount of paintballs as the budget was looking a bit shabby and had to cut back for things like beer and provisions. So my point is
it seems a bit strange that the government is closing libraries across the nation, and making huge cuts only to be told that we are firing 120 Tomahawk Missiles at £200,000 a pop, not including fuel for the 36 planes and the rest of it. so really in a matter of hours we just fired 50 libraries into the air at a plastic bag in a tent and some anti-aircraft/ command centres. A BLOODY TENT!
I know the papers have been a bit more interesting with world leaders playing a huge game of command and conquer with multimillion pound weapon systems lately but really can we afford to be in this battle? At the moment Sainsburys has oil at 1/2 price for virgin olive oil in a nice bottle! do we really need to go to war for it?
Maybe we could of left this attack to Sarkozy and his high heels?
