This is Libya for goodness sakes. How long does something like this take? If we were even going to get involved in something like this, it should have been done and dealt with by now.
Will the Germans send troops?
No, for obvious reasons.
Will the Italians send troops?
No, because Libya was a former Italian colony and nothing will unite all Libyans against NATO more than the return of Italian forces.
Will Britain send troops?
Yes, a token; because Britain just doesn’t have the forces to send.
Will France send forces?
Yes, but only a token; because France also now has only a tiny army.
Who is going to make up the bulk of any large-scale force?
