OK, I got this figure from watching SKY News, but this is apparently the latest estimate of the economic cost of our little brush war against said north African country. Yet again, I am asking myself, where are we getting the money from? And how? I thought we had to embrace the austerity measures because "there is no alternative" other than national bankruptcy.
When people are loosing their jobs, employment is difficult to find and the economy could go into a double dip, all our Prime Minister seems to care about is some military intervention, in which millions are being poured down the drain; he seems out of touch with reality and I can see why the British people did not totally endorse Cameron, even when faced with an opponent like Brown in the general election.
I had hoped that with a new government - especially one with the liberals in it- would be wary of going on any more campaigns and would have learned lessons from the divisions Iraq caused and would focus on domestic recovery.
If only....

Incomprehensible, from both sides of the ocean.
Obama's order to start a war with Libya is patently unconstitutional in the US. There is no precedent, either in the Constitution or the law, that allows him to do this.
None.
As he has revealed his undying contempt for the rule of law to all parties, left/right/center, the dismay over this man is beginning to grow--finally (long overdue) from the Left.
We are at war with Libya, because we committed acts of war against Libya--solely upon the order of our President.
OS hopes his British cousins will raised unshirted hell about this tragedy.
