#2 Note also in that story that Turkey is building an aircraft carrier and that Libya plays into Turkey's game as a restart of the same game the US Marines halted with Jefferson's Barbary War.

Islam always circles back to the game plan.

#4 Would we or the Euros actually allow such a thing to occur 3dc?

How hard would it be to totally destroy any and all maritime "assets" (other than anchors) and their port facilities if we really wanted to? I don't doubt that deluded Muzzies dream of such things, but really?

#5 Interesting reading, 3dc, thank you. I've bookmarked the Asia Times article under Islam, etc. in my Rantburg file.

Does Turkey assume the colonization of Europe will in time end its objections to Barbary piracy?
