        We're in a war! I'll worry about the T's & C's if we win.

        On a slightly different tack, I wonder if there are any Libyan sleeper cells in the UK...

                    Having served on a Tornado squadron detached to southern Italy on Operation Deny Flight (Bosnia) I for once have some idea what I'm on about. Now get back in that comfy armchair.

                      I believe the Canadians, Danes and Spanish have already sent stuff to sicily, the US to the North of Italy. Norwegians landed yesterday but will take a few days to become operational, the Brits are still 'considering' whether to rebase to Sicily
                      I am interested where the four Quatari planes will fly operations from.

                      The Italians also have a carrier down there, the Garibaldi. I never knew the Italians had a carrier
