Showing posts with the label jamahiriya

"If you can keep your head...

... when all about you/Are losing theirs and blaming it on you..." During my last stint in Libya, over a shisha pipe and crown (alcohol free) beer, my colleagues and I would ponder when Al Qaeda would turn its jaundiced, long-sighted eye onto the dear old Jamahiriya . Years passed, and nothing happened. But now, when I'm going back, we get what looks nastily like a threat to open up a new front . Oh, bugger. There's a bit more detail from CBS . But Rotterstint seems to get to the bottom of it.
