Colonel Gaddafi is dead.
Now Gadaffi is dead what will the NAAFI be called now?
On a more serious note, can we now send the Libyan Benefit err I mean Asylum Seekers home, as the Colonel is now no longer a threat to them or their extended families?

I have heard that rock apes are happy to pay for a mans arse. Gay.

Or you could just polish the one to a mirror finish, then everytime you looked at it you would get two for the price of one......

Perhaps his role model was that bloke in the white suit who sells fried chicken.
Until the possibility of civil war is resolved, I wouldn't hold your breath on the refugees. When/if that does kick off, I wonder which side will get the most air support.

Why will the photo haunt him? Libya was a pariah state that supported terrorism across the world, including in Northern Ireland. However, in 2003, Gaddaffi announced that Libya would renounce sponsorship of terrorism and would not seek to develop WMDs.
Against that backdrop, what did you expect the world community to do? To reject this move and keep Libya out in the cold, encouraging it to continue in its old ways? Yes, rapprochment was distasteful (just as it was with the IRA), but welcome to the real world!
I'm no fan of Tony Blair, but to critisise him for this indicates that some posters live in a utopian world that bears no resemblance to reality.

REL -you are, of course, correct in that pragmatism had to be the order of the day.
I suspect that the problem for many people may well be the enthusiasm with which Mr Blair approached bringing the late Colonel back into the fold: the then-PM always came across in a 'this is all terribly jolly and Muamar's such a nice chap, really' fashion, whereas one can imagine (say) Jim Callaghan being just as polite, but in a rather more detatched fashion.
You always got the impression that Blair would have happily sent Gaddafi a birthday card ('With best wishes from Tony and Cherie') - and who knows, he may well have done - whereas pretty much every (every?) PM since 1945 would've been perfectly courteous but not quite so ready with the enthusiastic handshake and ready smile.

Because the previous poster asked if he would be attending the funeral and I would think that with that image in mind he would not be very welcome, hence it would haunt him..... And as replied to your post, there is the, it is ok approaching and trying to bring him back into the fold line, but the image presents much more than that.....

Not wishing to enter a protracted debate RLE, I think that your appreciation of utopia in this instance is somewhat misplaced. And your parallel with IRA rapprochement is equally spurious. In his autobiography 'A Journey', it is interesting (and perhaps telling) that Blair makes very scant reference to Libya, and none to his relationship or dealings with Gaddafi. I agree with the two recent posters in that it is the image that Blair created which (to me) is offensive: I think his predecessors would have been far more discrete.
The real fighting is about to begin, in Libya, or I miss my guess. Many spoils to be fought over, and the NATO air will drift away soon, leaving the ground wide open for all factions to fight.
This is hard to stop, unless NATO wants to get into "bombing the arsehole of the week" (to protect civilians of course
) which means that one by one, NATO will lose people to work with and influence in any way, shape, or form.
I hate to sound so glum, but I don't see anything but more blood letting, in fits and starts and bursts, for about the next year.
Until the next Caudillo (however you say that in Arabic) arrives on a horse.

It's a fair point that there was a level of affability when Blair went to Libya that was unseemly. Maybe it was just Blair's automatic reaction to a camera!

BEags. Oh dear, I did! On the grounds that I could only slag the b*****d's literary drone off if I'd actually read it. The man, and his spouse, are beyond words, as they say. Why is it that I still cannot see him as anything other than a plonker of an undergraduate? And I like most undergrads! Agree, Lonewolf.
