Yes, there were facepalms all round when that news came out. Each time he visits someone, the PM tells them they should be the lead on the latest hot topic.

I&#039;m sure the Bundestag will be delighted to send the underfunded and under-equipped Bundeswehr on another pointless adventure.]]></description>

Not this one. He&#039;s too busy preening and looking for photo ops. 

Next up: Berlin today, where he plans to tell Merkel she should take the lead on fighting ISIS in Libya. I&#039;d give anything to be a fly on the wall when she replies.]]></description>

True, but to tell all the truth, it was the PN administration in 2001 that introduced double or multiple citizenships. So there are some other ways that an Arab can hold double Maltese and other citizenship.]]></description>

Trouble is, I suspect, that you misinterpret what you read. Probably blinded by foolish partisan politics. The RAF will not take the trouble to come here with 5 fighters and support, just because a wolf cried. What are you all expecting of the Prime Minister? As if Gonzi told us everything during the Libyan Gaddafi crisis. I do not blame them. It makes no difference for us if we know or do not know certain things. We have a tourism industry to look after, to start with.]]></description>

This is incorrect. Excluding the airshow arrivals the last RAF fighters at Luqa were emergency diversions from Operation Unified Protector in 2011. The previous mentioned Saudi shipments account for maybe 4 to 6 flights a year.]]></description>
