    I think Gonzi rang Obama to brief him about his speech. Watching Obama on CNN was like watching Gonzi on TVM. Ma qal xejn, u l-fighter jets Francizi in the air.

    [Daphne – Hillary Clinton, speaking later, was voluble, eloquent and didn’t speak from notes. She would have been the better president.]

    He did not say too much ..

    We are being slaughtered on SKY news.

    So Sarkozy is saying that the strikes would stop as soon as Gaddafi’s ceasefire becomes evident.

    I would say Gaddafi knows better than to justify their attacks. But Sarkozy seems sure that whatever Gaddafi does the media will tell us what we need to be told.

    What a charade, really. I am not a Gaddafi supporter, but this charade makes me puke – especially calls for Malta to play a military role.

    The Pollyanna Brigade – that’s what you lot are.

      Kev, our only hope to know the truth is for you to leave Brussels and take yourself to Benghazi. It’s either that or listening – and believing – what Gaddafi says.

    • Corinne Vella says:

      Really, Kevin, don’t you have any friends to play with? It’s pitiful the way you hang around taking pot-shots just to get some attention.

      • H.P. Baxxter says:

        Never mind the friends. He has a wife, for god’s sake. Take her out to a nice restaurant in Bruxelles, Kevin, and stay away from this blog.

      • kev says:

        That’s rich, coming from you, Baxxter, given that you come here with your sleeping bag and tootbrush.

      • H.P. Baxxter says:

        Yes, but I talk sense. You just talk bollocks.

      • ciccio2011 says:

        Kev, Baxxter even brought his passport with him today. And a box of matches!

    At 1651hrs, a large 4 jet-engine plane accompanied by 3 small jet planes flew across the sky over the Malta International Airport at a very high altitude. Is there any information about those aircraft and if they are related to intervention in Libya?

  9. yor says:

    To KEV:

    The least Malta can do is is offer our landing facilities. Is it is nice standing on the sidlines from schoolyears to adulthood while others stand up to bullies?

    This situation is the same but on the world stage and wider in scope. Gaddafi has the ability to rule by fear. We now have the chance to get rid of the tyrant . Why shouldn’t we shoulder some of the burden of doing that?

    • Corinne Vella says:

      Well, Kevin voted for the man who ensured Gaddaffi survived for another two decades. What more could you expect from him?

      • ciccio2011 says:

        He is now going to vote for the one who would let him survive for another century.
        Because Kev is involved, I have to declare that I have taken sides with the PM.

    • kev says:

      Ciccio. Are you being cryptic, or are you making little sense?

      • ciccio2011 says:

        Kev, I am neither being cryptic nor making little sense. You have declared you will vote for Lawrence Gonzi because he took the position of not permitting Malta to be used as a base for attacks against Gaddafi.

        In doing so, we might run the risk that Gaddafi or his sons will continue to run Libya for another hundred years.

        I too agree with Lawrence Gonzi’s position.

        What is difficult to understand?

      • kev says:

        Oh, no, no, ciccio2013, you misread me. I said, ‘at this rate – and for this alone – he’s got my vote.’

        But I see we are in agreement. If so, then why are you all over the place singing praise to Daphne instead of underlining how important it is that we pursue our humanitarian role, promoting peace and stability with non-military means?

      • ciccio2011 says:

        Kev, I was not singing praise to Daphne on this one. Please see my comments under previous posts (particularly the one with a picture of the George Cross). I was surely trying to avoid telling you “we are in agreement” – I let you say that.

    Thanks to that damning interview with Tonio Borg, we have burned our boats with everyone. The damage done will take years, if ever, to undo.
    Dr Gonzi , please reconsider Malta’s position. Nimbyism is not an option.

    [Daphne – On the contary, NIMBYism is exactly why we should be more inclined to act: Not In My Backyard, Mr Gaddafi.]
