The Coming Crisis

YOU may talk o' gin an' beer

When you're quartered safe out 'ere,

An' you're sent to penny-fights an' Aldershot it;

But if it comes to slaughter

You will do your work on Viagra,

An' you'll lick the bloomin' boots of 'im that's got it

US Ambassador to the United Nations, Nancy Grace Susan Rice, has charged that Gaddafi troops have been issued Viagra. What next? Flowers and chocolates? According to diplomats who spoke off the record Ms Rice made this accusation in a closed door meeting at the United Nations but offered no proof. Another example of smart diplomacy ? Who, pray tell, advises this woman? Charlie Sheen? Gary Busey? She might have run this theory past the Joint Chiefs of Staff who would have told her no soldier wants to go into battle fully erect and Gaddafi probably didn't hire geriatric mercenaries. Yo, Susan, battle hardened troops face stiff opposition and Gaddafi vows to stick it out in Tripoli.
