In reply to ciccio2011. It's possible. And if it happens I fully expect the Maltese government to accept the request. Ghax il-Bambin hekk qal.

The following was posted previously by another commenter and illustrates the level of logical thought abilities that John Lanzon brings to the table:-

Penguins and ostriches cannot fly.
Humans cannot fly.
Humans are obviously birds!

Apologies to the original commenter but I could not find the post to give credit.

In reply to Michael A. Vella. Michael, good one about the Ministry of The Fence. Now, will the Minister sit in the PM's cabinet or will he just sit on the fence?

I am expecting Gaddafi to flee Tripoli to Malta and ask for political asylum here, claiming that everyone in Libya and the West, bar Malta, is trying to kill him.

And I am starting to think that our Government will accede to his request pronto.

So according to most bloggers had Malta allowed its airport to be used as a military base Gaddafi would have already been toppled and the Libyan people are by now free!!
Shame on you Malta… why don’t you take the advice of our superwise bloggers

From The Times (London):

http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/world/middleeast/article2962272.ece

Libyan rebels regained control of the eastern gateway town of Ajdabiya today after international airstrikes on Colonel Gaddafi’s forces, in the first major turnaround for an uprising that once appeared on the verge of defeat…

Recapturing Ajdabiya is the biggest victory for the eastern rebels since their initial push westwards went into reverse two weeks ago and the better equipped Gaddafi forces drove them back towards the rebel stronghold of Benghazi.

It would also suggest that allied airstrikes, carried out with the stated aim of protecting civilians, are handing new momentum to the rebel fighters, whose struggle against a better-armed foe has threatened to turn into stalemate.

The encircled unit of Libyan troops holding positions in Ajdabiya came under renewed air bombardment yesterday by RAF and alliance jets as rebel forces gathered for the final push to capture the key eastern town.
