The prospect of Britain repatriating the Libyan it jailed for blowing up a U.S. airliner is seen in Tripoli as a success ~snip~

....Gaddafi's transition from international pariah once accused by the United States of building banned weapons ~snip~

The UK appears to be following Yobomba's lead in releasing Abdel Basset al-Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber. Ruders Ragheads Rote article, thereby the spelling errors, praise for the mass murdering terrorist, and the downgrading of facts regarding Libya's WMD program. Most FReepers will remember quite well that Ghddafi's WMD program was in full GO mode until 5 days after we captured SoDamnInsane, when Ghadafi gave up the the programs for fear of ending up like Hussein's boys.

This actually came across my screen as financial news from my brokerage.

“scents success”?

[AppyPappy]

Must be a British thing

[lump in the melting pot]

Cut his head off.

Then send the 2 pieces to Tripoli, and bill them for the freight

[4woodenboats]

It’s a Babbleonian thing.

I hope one dark night a US Navy Seal sneaks into his bedroom and.........

Gaddafi's transition from international pariah once accused by the United States of building banned weapons ~snip~

UM, didn't Qaddaffi Duck get back into our list of people who are not totally cast out because he ABANDONED his weapons program after Saddam Hussein was taken down?

Chalk it up as a victory in the war on terror after Iraq.

Scents?

Libyans?

it all works for me

[bricklayer]

“it all works for me”

None of it makes any “scents” to me.

[4woodenboats]

It was a HUGE and almost totally ignored victory.

[madameguinot]

sense?

[bricklayer]

I refer you to the title of the piece.

[4woodenboats]

"smells", more likley.

Look at the names of the Rueters stringers, then read the text, keeping in mind that it was almost certainley written using language translation software.

For instance, أوباما وضع رأسه في حضن رجل is Arabic for Obama put his head in a man's lap using Google's translation tool.

Yes. I know. I was wondering if the editors at Reuters meant sense instead of scents, in which case it should have read, Libya senses success...

[bricklayer]

“I was wondering if the editors at Reuters meant sense instead of scents...”

I’d say that would be a safe bet...also note the names of the authors of the piece. Proof readers for Reuters should work overtime if a piece is apparently written by those who can’t claim English as their native tongue.
