Libya No Fly Zone

[SEE]

I saw that tank footage but on another News channel and they said it was a captured tank in one of the rebel strongholds. Gadaffi has a large number of mercenaries in his armed forces including African, Serbian and various other European countries. His regular army is very reliant on these but my bet is that they will start to leave.

As long as they are getting payed then they would stay, surely? Its turning into the whold MGS4 story line! :p Next Snake will infultrate the country to find Liquid is running the whole show!

It's confirmed the Mig that went down was a rebel aircraft. There is a suggestion on the BBC it was shot down by his own people by mistake.
Those rebels need to get themselves grounded asap. It's going to be a nightmare for coalition pilots identifying hostile ground targets let alone friendly jets in the air.
This looks like it's going to be a clusterf@@k to me

March 1999 all over again.

The rebels don't need any planes in the air. Our forces can do that job and their planes will confuse us and their AA. They need more organisation overall to stop them doing things like shooting their own planes down.

I don't think this is going to end well...

AS for military spending cuts I don't think that they are bad as people make out. The Libyan air force isn't up to much, no any army in that area. We only need an air force our size if we are to face another superpower which the UN is meant to prevent.

Talk about mission creep, this is more like mission leap. This was supposed to be a no fly zone operation to prevent Gadafi using air power but it now looks like a full on assault
Over 110 tomahawks launched last night. Crazy.

The world is turning to shit like there is a race on
