British reporters are one of a kind. See how the bloke analyzed how tax payers money has been spent so far:

[b]THE COST OF THE WAR

TORNADO

There are usually four Tornados in each sortie. The total cost of flying time there and back per plane is up to £210,000. Each aircraft is equipped with Storm Shadow missiles. These cost around £500,000 each - so if each plane fires two missiles the cost is £4million. So the total cost of one four Tornado sortie is almost £5million.

OTHER COSTS

Other British assets in play include C17 and C130 Hercules transport planes at £42,000 and £12,000 per flying hour. E3D Sentry AWACS radar aircraft scan the skies for enemy planes, at £33,000 an hour. Frigates HMS Cumberland and HMS Westminster cost £90,000-a-day to run.

SUBMARINE

Trafalgar class sub HMS Triumph has been firing Tomahawk Cruise missiles from the Med. The sub costs £200,000 a day to run and each missile costs £500,000, with up to 10 fired so far.

TYPHOON

There are 10 £70 million Typhoon jets which are new and cost more to run than Tornados. They fly at 65,000ft, at twice the speed of sound and costs per mission are as high as £350,000 per jet. [/b]

May God not let this omisore return to the senate, please who is his opponent in Osun . How can they have 120 billion increase for the national assembly even after Sanusi dissed them on their excessive wages. That money could be used to fix the benin road that is gateway to hell.

Allwell:
*Just wondering* after bombing Libya, where next? Maybe Nigeria?

Bastage:
Comparing this to Iraq is misleading. The bombing there was a prelude to a ground invasion and that's not the case here. Militarily, some infrastructure has to be reduced when preparing for a gorund invasion whereas in this case, it is not necessary.[/b]As I have previously stated: the West had [b]already secured Libyan supplied of oil. By backing the rebels they are in a Catch22. They risk losing deals if the rebels win and they risk losing deals if Gadaffi wins. If oil were the issue it would have made perfect sense to sit back and let Gaddafi murder his people.

I've read links like the one you've provided there. They are also misleading. What they fail to tell you is that the US has been weaning itself off Middle Eastern oil for over a decade. It's main provider is Canada from which alone the US imports more than twice what it gets from the whole of the Middle East.

Stop making excuses for her.

I'm sure she was the one who wrote the script and even practised it for several days.

Yet she struggled delivering her speech and legitimate questions have been raised.

Has anybody heard her pronounce umbrella?

It may be worse that GEJ's wifey.
