This means a likely ground invasion of Tripoli. It also allows the US capture Quadaffi. Maby he will get a free trip to Gitmo.

This means a likely ground invasion of Tripoli.

"The draft resolution, backed by the western nations and the Arab League, calls for immediate action "to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, including Benghazi, while excluding an occupation force".

The UN Security Council resolution calling for action just short of an invasion is being proposed by Britain, France and the United States, though the US was earlier hesitant in supporting the joint British-French proposal to enforce the no-fly-zone over Libya.

UN Security Council Set To Vote On Libya Resolution

An invasion is not authorized by this resolution.

The UNSC said no foreign fighters on the ground in this. Though I suspect some will be directing ground to air as is customary.
