We're not going to have boots on the ground in Libya. We're not going to remove Gaddafi from power. We just put it round we might. We're not going there...

"Where are we going then?"

"Never you mind."

The head of a goat is hung on the muzzle of a destroyed tank, belonging to forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, after an air strike by coalition forces along a road between Benghazi and Ajdabiyah March 20, 2011.

The head of a goat, with what appears to be a cigarette hanging out of its mouth.

"Obama lied, People died!" Can't wait for the libs to pull that one out of their anal canals.

Slightly off-topic, but it seems to me...oh never mind.

That is the barrel of a self propelled howitzer...not a tank.

Yup, it's a US-made M109 SP Howitzer, not a tank.

I have to ask. What does the goat head mean?

In some cultures, I'm guessing, it would be a 'message' not to mess with us. We will kill your goats....or something.

My brother identified it as an Italian Palmaria 155mm self-propelled gun.

Let's see if I can get the pictures in here.
