As we see throughout the BBC output, when their subject is 'harmless', as far as the BBC are concerned, they will be given a hard time for the BBC to demonstrate how 'tough' they are, but when their subject is potentially risky in any way, then the BBC will be completely appeasing, even if other innocent lives are put at risk.
Which makes them bullying cowards, and leads to another acronym for the BBC - Brutish Bullying Cowards.
I commented yesterday how the BBC chose not to report about the Hamas attack on demonstrators wanting a coalition between Hamas and Fatah in Gaza, and also avoided reporting the subsequent assault by Hamas on fellow journalists working for other news organisations that had reported about the Hamas violence. In this way the BBC avoided getting themselves into any trouble with this despicable regime, and further ingratiated themselves with these terrorists, never mind that they failed to report the news.
In the story here, the BBC want to distance themselves from UK forces joining the international community battling Gaddafi forces, just in case other despots might be getting nervous and wondering just where the BBC stood, or perhaps 'kneeled' might be a more apt term.
The closest the BBC gets to the 'bulldog spirit' also begins with BULL.

Shami Chakrabarti: critical of action against Libya, but silent about Saif Gadaffi's donation
Andrew Marr fails to raise awkward issue with Shami Chakrabarti of Saif Gadaffi's cash for the London School of Economics

As patriotic as ever, the BBC happily gave a platform to Shami Chakrabarti on The Andrew Marr Show yesterday as British servicemen put their lives on the line in Libya.
Sanctimonious Shami was on form, saying that while a poll of Sunday Telegraph readers may have shown that they were 57 per cent behind the international action against Muammar Gaddafi, they were not representative of the country at large because they were "probably not in the main pacifists". The director of Liberty added that she did not, of course, wish to "stereotype" them.
Marr nodded sagely. The grand inquisitor had clearly decided it would be an impertinence to point out that his voluble little guest was a member of the ruling council of the London School of Economics, when it had quietly accepted money from the reviled dictator's playboy son, Saif, and that she had been content, too, to see him subsequently given a PhD.
After the story broke, Shami spoke of her "bucketfuls" of embarrassment and regret, but chose not to do the honourable thing and resign.
