Libya assault: UN's calculated gamble

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12797435

Some of the earliest key targets in the UN-backed assault on Libya are likely to be Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's command and control capabilities, as well as his air defences, which could still pose a threat to foreign aircraft.

British Prime Minister David Cameron has said that British forces are already in action in the Libya operation, which is codenamed Operation Ellamy in the UK.

At their home bases in the UK, Tornado GR4 ground attack aircraft and Typhoons for the air-to-air attack role are well prepared for what is to come.

British warships are already off the coast in Libya to ensure the arms embargo is respected.

1. Frankly I am suprised that the US had to get involved.

This is Europe's back yard. Can't they handle Libya by themselves?

8. I would be interested in knowing what would have happened

if the USA decided not to get involved in Europe's back yard. Would England, France, Italy or Germany have bothered to get involved at all?

6. We have the best equipment to take out air defenses.

We also have great C3i capability to keep everything working smoothly during the operations.
