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?
(Hint: Dial 1-800-USA)
The Brits and Frogs have ample resources. The Frogs have a six brigade rapid reaction force. The Brits have, besides the Royal Marine Bde, 1st Para, the SAS/SRS Reg’ts., and at least one deployable Division in Germany. Libya is quite reachable from Europe and with Benghazi in rebel hands, no opposed landing would be necessary.As Q’adafy’s forces haven’t been able to crush the amateur rebels, I don’t think the pros of Britain and France would face much difficulty routing the Libyan forces. Of course if an Iraqi type insurgency were to develop I doubt the French and British populations have the staying power to put it down.
