Mar 14th, 2011 - 10:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0British Style “Liberation”: Beware the Ides of March. Part Two
”Even by the standards of a near bancrupt island off Europe, run currently, largely, by a bunch of seemingly gung-ho, out of out of touch millionaires, the gun boat diplomacy of Messrs Cameron, Fox and Hague (Prime Minister, Defense Minister and Foreign Minister respectively) was a monumental farce of historic proportions.
The story unravelled as fast as Britain's Foreign Minister William Hague's statement on 21st February that Gaddafi had fled to Venezuela - which prompted London's Venezuelan Embassy to release an emphatic denial clarifying : “ ... the mistaken aspect of such a statement.”
A small British diplomatic team ...” according to William Hague, had entered Libya (illegally) to make contact with the rebel National Council in Benghazi. Liam Fox, singing from the same hymn sheet (6th March) told ITN that: “a small diplomatic team” was talking with the rebels. Not quite. A team of “special forces” officers had been captured by a group of guards protecting the Al-Khadra Farm company, eighteen miles from Benghazi, alerted by the deafening thudding of helicopter rotor blades.
They were apprehended, tied up and delivered to the Benghazi revolutionary council. A senior member of the council told the Guardian: “They were carrying espionage equipment, reconnaissance equipment, multiple PASSPORTS and weapons. This is no way to conduct yourself during an uprising ... Gaddafi is bringing in thousands of mercenaries to kill us, most are using foreign passports ... how do we know who these people are? They say they're British nationals and some of the PASSPORTS they have are British. But the Israelis used British PASSPORTS to kill that man in Dubai last year.” Indeed.
Does Gaddafi have a British passport already?
ah but only the British could have done it, you agree]

Mar 15th, 2011 - 12:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0“I didn''t know how they were coming,” replied British ambassador Richard Northern, highlighting a lack of planning on the government''s part as calls from London to Libya to free the group. The conversation was intercepted by Gaddafi forces and later broadcasted on state TV, adding more embarrassment to the English government.

Mar 15th, 2011 - 04:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That's not strictly true, probably every country's intelligence community has the capacity to forge convincing enough identity documents for pretty much every other country.
Just look at all the fuss when the Israelis assasinated a Hamas leader in Dubai while while travelling on cloned British passports last February...
