Britain is ready to launch a surgical strike to assassinate Colonel Gaddafi. Defence Secretary Liam Fox said yesterday he would sanction a ‘bunker buster’ attack on the Libyan dictator’s lair as long as civilian casualties could be avoided.

Dr Fox vowed to destroy the Libyan dictator’s entire military infrastructure as senior officials privately admitted they want to engineer regime change.

As Britain launched further strikes using Tomahawk cruise missiles last night and RAF strike jets prepared for a second night of raids, fears grew of ‘mission creep’ in the military assault intended to enforce the United Nations resolution authorising a no-fly zone over Libya.

Three Cabinet ministers refused to rule out the eventual deployment of British ground troops, saying only that there are no plans to do so ‘at the moment’.

Title shortened due to length.

also: ■ MI6 spies phoned Gaddafi’s generals warning them that they will be targeted by missiles unless they defect; ■ SAS troops were already in Libya, spotting and marking targets for RAF bombers;

Brits are showing more ‘nads than our Usurper in Chief is.

[James C. Bennett]

So who/what is going to replace this half-baked idiot Gadhaffi?

Al Qaeda has influence among the people there.

[darkside321]

Serious what the hell is going on?
The UN declares a NO FLY zone.
And since then we have some kind of shock and awe operations going on in the whole Libya.
Now we try to assasinate gaddafi, next is boots on the ground???

Hillary’s “International Order” needs jack booted thugs to enforce its dictates.

[Eurotwit]

Besides... There already ARE boots on the ground:

SAS teams are on the ground in Libya with orders to pinpoint and destroy Colonel Gaddafi’s weapons.

Dozens of the crack troops have been operating behind enemy lines to identify targets for bombing raids.

Highly-trained units, known as ‘Smash’ teams for their prowess and destructive ability, have carried out secret reconnaissance missions to provide up-to-date information on the Libyan armed forces.

A senior defence source confirmed that there are special forces operating in Libya and that more could be sent.

The source said: ‘What is ruled out? An invasion. What is not ruled out? Everything else.

We’ll see just how big the outrage really is by the left in all of this. Bu guess some faint complaints, but will quickly be quiet.

So the Brits are using a no fly zone to start and all out war, who is the first Brit to be hanged for war crimes.

"But first, we figured we'd let the massacres go on for the better part of a month, instead of just going in there and getting it over with."

"We think alike. Well, except for the part where, after the Muslim Brotherhood takes over Libya, I hang you and the French out to dry, like Ike did in the Suez Crisis."

[omega4179]

The UN authorized a no fly zone not a regime change. Stop this illegal war and impeach the ditherer in chief now!

[omega4179]

Call the ICC!!

I like Ike, but he did F Up big time on that one.

"Hang the Brits"

"Save Gadaffi"

Unbelievable.

On second thought the Brits are probably paying off AQ not to hit them, after all they were more than willing to turn the plane bomber out of their jail.

Your support of AQ noted.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

"Hang the Brits"

"Save Gadaffi"

Defeat Al Qaeda in Libya

Better.
