None of the European nations will move on Libya militarily, even with something like a no-fly zone, without at least the tacit approval of the USA. And Hillary and your State department don’t want it, do they?

And neither do some in the Pentagon and CENTCOM, as well as the Whitehouse.
This is totally different then say the no fly zone the US performed over northern Iraq many years back to keep the Butcher's planes from bombing the Kurds, and dropping canisters of nerve gas on them.
It will be a very involved operation. I assume you understand how air strikes are called in etc.. Lots of people on the ground. This is nothing like the US and Brits performed in Iraq. You and we had everything in place on the ground.
And perhaps the US is becoming tired of providing it's battle carrier groups to every little piss pot area of the oceans to perform some given task. It is an extremely expensive proposition.
Is Britain and France willing to put their carrier(s) into action on a Libyan around the clock no fly zone.
I assume again you followed the nfz carried out in northern Iraq during the GHB years. Average total flight time per day. Well it was around 6 hours per day.
With no on the ground targeting personnel.
This one is a totally different type of dog.
