The SAS is already there. Is he saying the part they're playing is insignificant?<br /><br /><br />Attempting to parse Hague's statements is essentially futile. Past experience shows they mean whatever he wants them to mean.<br /><br />My take on it; "We really don't want British troops on the ground in Libya in any numbers, however, if it all looks like going pear-shaped and turning into a tribal war, Cameron will look a total fool in the eyes of even the dimmest of the electorate and British troops will be thrown in in a desperate attempt to rescue Cameron's pretence of this not being an utterly foolish venture".cosmicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-68003973379948051082011-08-23T13:44:08.796-07:002011-08-23T13:44:08.796-07:00BTW this song popped into my mailbox from across ...BTW this song popped into my mailbox from across the Atlantic, I think it is quite seasoned having been around some time......but funny<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb81K7ABkB4" rel="nofollow">Immigration Song</a>TomTomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-22312985048694159802011-08-23T13:40:30.845-07:002011-08-23T13:40:30.845-07:00So what were SAS troops doing in Tripoli with Fren...So what were SAS troops doing in Tripoli with French REP soldiers ?TomTomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-23843298664567481982011-08-23T12:58:55.081-07:002011-08-23T12:58:55.081-07:00Nothing vague about Haig if I remember, it was as ...Nothing vague about Haig if I remember, it was as if your throat was a channel for some particularly frisky napalm style brew, before hitting one's gut with the subtlety of two fornicating hedgehogs fresh out of a 'travellers' oven. <br /><br />Hmm... thinking of Hague and hedgehogs and cramped, dark spaces....rear first of course.Monty Cristonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-12292852963366398952011-08-23T12:25:49.075-07:002011-08-23T12:25:49.075-07:00I'm afraid I can't stop thinking of him as...I'm afraid I can't stop thinking of him as Billy the Pig.john in cheshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179825507377423624noreply@blogger.com
