Wonder what Libya is going to do with the Eiffel Tower after France surrenders.

Did I just say that out loud?  :bolt:

If I said what I think, I'm pretty sure that I'd be breaking some EU law.

You know, usually I find the French about as annoying and irratating a culture as I can image.  I almost never resist a chance to get a dig in on them.

However, at this moment all I will say is:  good luck, good hunting and get back safe.

Explosion is consistent with a MANPAD, wouldn't discount an SA-7 (b/c the thing has such a narrow engagement envelope) but maybe SA-16 or SA-18.

jesus guys,   this one is a legal United Nations joint effort to help a country where civilians are getting killed by a dictator.

Surely there can only be positive comments towards the French for being first in for once.   :rolleyes:
