And Libya goes on...

[Stan]

And in Libya this will be achieved how?

Jeez, JMA... The African Dictator Method, of course

Conte de fée... When the locals begin to circle the white house, their dictators will pack their bags and take off like bats out of hell. Some will go to Dictators’ Heaven in Morocco like Mobutu Sese Seko and the rest will fade away into the sunset to quietly enjoy their stolen millions.

The sad truth -- that I have no need in explaining to most herein -- is, the morning after the fall of an African dictator, the people will be living in a trashed economy, no money at the bank, pillaged store shelves, prison chambers full of political prisoners and ...

power-hungry opposition leaders jockeying for position in the middle of a political and social upheaval.

I'm done ranting for now --- please resume your normal broadcast

EDIT:

... the greatest amphibious force in the World has spent the last decade prowling about either desert or mountains.

Well said, Mike !
Might I add that we are now hamstrung by a bunch of pirates in fishing boats ?
