The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Libyan SAMs Adrift

From Google we have "AFP" providing news, and in this case, about Libyan SAMs going adrift.  The report datelined Brussels has this item:
Al-Qaeda's north African branch has acquired a stockpile of weapons in Libya, including surface-to-air missiles that are threatening air travel, the EU's counter-terrorism coordinator said Monday.
Maybe it is too soon for them to be in the US and I am safe flying tomorrow.

On the other hand, Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) will be looking to use them to help themselves stay alive in its own operating area, so the threat is not here in North America.  On the other hand, if they need the cash AQIM could sell a few to Narco-Terrorists in Mexico.  On the other hand, an insightful Narco-Terrorist will have noticed that 9/11 got the Citizens of the US all excited and they went to war, which would be bad for business if it happened here and now.

In this kind of war there is no final victory, there is no "Mission Accomplished".  It just moves back into a situation where the last bit is handed back to the police.  That is the definition of victory.
