Did anyone out there catch KMB on Al Jazeera just now?

The Golden Years, 1973 - gearing up to be neutral
Somebody emailed in to say that Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici has just been on Al Jazeera saying that Malta’s neutrality has been eroded (and this after he told a newspaper that Malta should have returned Libya’s Mirage jets at once).
Did anybody out there see the performance? I missed it.

Jesus, I cannot believe this. I’m going to bed and will definitely weep myself to sleep. Good night D
I just did.
I think KMB’s neutrality clause works only in keeping the west out of Malta in defence of Libya.
Some days ago I said that KMB is perikoluz.
The government must double its efforts to make sure that Malta’s official position be known to counteract the harm that Dalli and KMB are doing. Malta should assist any intervention, humanitarian or militaristic, to ensure that democracy prevails in Libya.
On a separate note, can the EU Commission hold a frank discussion about Libya, without the assurance that whatever is said will not be leaked to Gaddafi by one of the Comissioners?
Laghqi kien, laghqi ghadu, u laghqi jibqa sa l-ahhar nifs ta hajtu.
Imissu jisthi jekk jaf kif. Il-qoxra ta wiccu hoxna daqs il-gilda ta kukkudrill.

Embarrassingly, he mispronounces the word “circumstances” in that unfortunate way Maltese people often do.
News flash: ‘Incomprehensible Shouting’ proclaimed official Maltese language by Leader of the Oppostion.
If the international community eventually recognises the rebel provisional committe, as the legal representative of Libya, then it stands to reason that the Libyan planes belong to them and not to the Gaddafi regime, and we will have no choice but to return the planes to them.
What advice would KMB give than. I think that we should stop giving any prominence to what this man says. It is doing us more harm than good. Just stop reporting what he says.
So you would prefer to hand over the two Mirages to the Gaddafi regime ?
No you are wrong, I would rather have them blown up than given to that criminal. What I said was would KMB tell the Govt to give them to the Libyan people or is it just Gaddafi he wants to give them to?
If I were you I would not place any bets on to whom KMB wants to hand over the Mirages.

After having the divorce poll for weeks, timesofmalta.com has put up a new poll about Libyan situation :
“Poll
Should Malta be neutral in the current Libyan upheaval?
* Yes in all circumstances
* No in all circumstances
* Not if there is a massacre”
After reading the posts on timesofmalta.com, I have an inkling that the yeas will have it.

here you are…enjoy the ‘performance’

It’s ironic that it took Al Jazeera to lure this demented dinosaur out of his hole, not the vaunted local ‘TV stations’. Really great that the international press has been exposed two local assholes in less than a week. Really great.

Daphne, was this what you were looking for? No need to post this.
And here he goes….watch till the end. http://english.aljazeera.net/video/africa/2011/03/2011375401960317.html#
Here he is, in all his glory.

Wouldn’t it have made more sense to speak to someone who can analyse military strategy, rather than someone who botched the rescue of passengers off a hijacked aircraft?

Yep, just managed to catch a repetition this morning, for breakfast. Stomach-turning and thanking the Lord that KMB is history while remembering how he managed the Egyptair crisis.

It’s also on youtube
Jafu tal- Al Jazeera li KMB kien mghajjar minn Mintoff li kien l-akbar qassata li qatt ghamel meta lahqu Prim Ministru?

I hardly ever watch or read Aljazeera but judging from this particular news item they don’t seem much better than Maltarats.
According to them :
“Much of the military equipment needed to enforce a no-fly zone is already based on the Mediterranean island of Malta.”
Yeah right. Maybe they’re confusing a no fly zone with a no flies zone, something that can be achieved with this sort of equipment:

I can never forget what Malta had to go through during his term as prime minister. He did a lot of harm then and persists in doing more now.
I wonder who the go-between was between KMB and Aljazeera. Could it be someone at Malta Today?
Funny how of all people they picked KMB.
They forgot to mention that he is the very same prime minister responsible (at least in part) for the death of the passengers on the hijacked Egyptair plane.
Neither did they mention that he is the person responsible for the fact that Gaddafi is alive today because KMB saw fit to sabotage the US operation to remove him.
It doesn’t seem that they spent too much effort finding out about this “former prime minister”.
