&quot;If it is so I do not like that our foreign policy is dictated by the interests of a commercial group.&quot;

In terms of unfolding events, so was the Gonzi government relatively late to declare support actively.

The little area of commercial interests always commanded priority position.

The controlling 2% in the Corinthia&#039;s Libyan funding covered, handled and transferred under a Gonzi government by both parties acting in synch.

Even when the Gonzi government did declare its support, commercial interests were prioritised over humanitarian ones.

Decisions &quot;ta&#039; barra minn hawn.&quot;

War&#039;s a bugger.]]></description>

Muscat and Co think that by not taking a stand against Isis, and using &#039;neutrality&#039; as a skewered, cowardly excuse, this will stop ISI from annexing Malta to their Caliphate.

How ignorant and short-sighted can he possibly be. These fanatics will not stop at anything to fulfill their mission, and the EU and the rest of the global community is our only hope of protection against them. 

He tries to appease the unappeasable, and alienates our protectors. What an unbelievable Mintoffian wanker. If our country is destroyed by Isis, I will put the blame squarely on the shoulders of the so-called switchers because they should have known better than to put this baboon and his fellow simians in government.

					<description><![CDATA[Does every light breeze send Muscat in a different direction? Is this his usual stance of straddling the fence?

&#039;&#039;Prime Minister Joseph Muscat welcomed an announcement by Italy this evening, that it would be ready to join a UN-led force to battle &quot;an active terrorist threat&quot; after recent advances by a faction in Libya that has sworn loyalty to Islamic State militants.

In a tweet, Dr Muscat said:
Glad #Italy willing to intervene in #Libya under UN mandate. #Malta will play it&#039;s part to ensure #Mediterranean stability -JM @matteorenzi&quot;
