the muppet show

It's happened quicker than I expected.
I thought Al Qaeda would have to murder its way to power among the Libyan rebels.
But already today Mr Hassan Al Segher of the new Libyan National Transitional Council was annoucing that under no circumstances would the new government be extraditing to the West either the Lockerbie bomber or the murderer of Police Woman Yvonne Fletcher.
Well.
This is a pickle.
What exactly have we been doing in Libya?
Why the hell exactly did American supremo Barack Obama, Brit Prime Minister David Cameron and French Prez Nicolas Sarkozy commit the Western alliance to protecting the likes of Mr Hassan Al Segher from the Gadaffis?
More precisely why the hell did Barack and Co immerse us in this military action, risking our soldiers' lives, risking our cities and our citizenries should the Gadaffis run true to form and retaliate with terrorism, and wasting a hundred billion dollars on the whole adventure just to allow a Libyan pipsqueak like Mr Hassan Al Segher showboat for the world's media about how he won't hand any Libyans over to the West?
Remind me.
Because I've forgotten.
Of course Barack and David and Nicolas are an awful shower of muppets.
Six months ago, Barack announced while he was on a tour of South America that he was sending Nato into Libya.
He has spent most of the intervening period either on tour or on holiday simply because he doesn't want to be considered a war president.
That's some leadership right there.
Prime Minister Cameron has been similarly shy.
He allowed one of his underlings Mr William Hague to do most of his war talkin.
Mr William Hague is a true muppet, famous on day two of the conflict for announcing: "We think the Gadaffis have fled."
As for Nicolas.
Nicolas used the French presidency as a sex trap to bed super models.
That's his class.
That's his speed.
He's not the sort of person one should go to war for.
Alright then.
In truth I don't entirely dismiss the motivations of any of the Western muppets in bringing us to war in Libya.
The Gadaffis were indeed about to massacre thousands of Libyan citizens in their customary manner, ie with gay abandon.
So it was Hobson's choice for the muppets.
And I won't judge em too harshly.
Still.
It would be nice if the Libyan National Transitional Council received some collect charge phone calls this evening from the muppet theatre (Nato HQ), courtesy of Sam the Bald Eagle (Barack), Animal (David Cameron), Fozzy Bear (Mr William Hague) and Kermit the Frog (Nicolas).
All four of these muppets should make the call, singly and together.
Their phone call should contain suitably vituperative vulgarisms as they inform the great Hassan Al Sagheer that because of him, all Nato personnel and aircraft are being withdrawn from Libya immediately, and that from now on the great Hassan Al Sagheer can deal with the Gadaffis himself.
Now that would be fun.
And you know something.
The 278 murdered victims of Lockerbie and Police Woman Yvonne Fletcher deserve no less.
Jihadis Delenda Est.
