Perhaps the Libyan military will be invited to set up an anti-aircraft battery with General Dynamics target tracking components just outside of Lockerbie, Scotland.

Kaddafi's extortion jihad was emboldened by his successful EU EU hostage extortion affair last year.
You can add this new defense system to the list of EU extortion pay-offs-- which (previously) included nuclear technology.
Once again, terrorism pays. Kaddafi gets the last laugh.

I hope the uk didn't have to pay any bribes or anything, that would mean we'd be the corrupt ones. That's the wacky world of international politics for you.
Good job there armies are completely crap, or we'd be in trouble.

Time to get in touch with General Dynamics mgt and let them know what we think.

From the article:
"as part of the United Kingdom's initiatives to improve economic, educational and defense links with Libya".
WHAT!!!???
What links should ANY non-Muslim country have, with a regime that aided and abetted the bombing of the plane that came down on Lockerbie?
The families of every single person who perished on that plane, and the families of those who were killed or injured when it crashed to earth on top of Lockerbie village, should be writing *extremely* angry letters to 'General Dynamics UK Ltd', asking them to please explain why they are doing business with a regime that winks at mass murder and enables jihad.
More and more, I think Hugh is right - only 'shunning', so to speak, will work on the Empire of Islam. NO arms deals, especially. NO military and/ or tech training. NO assistance with high tech of any kind.
Because we know, with absolute certainty, that sooner or later, all such things will be used against us.
Companies like 'General Dynamics UK Ltd' would do much better to devote all their energy to 'economic, education and defence links' between NON-MUSLIM countries, so as to strengthen them to withstand the Jihad.
