Is there any nation considering ground troops at the moment?

Not at this time, however...Obama has made it clear that he will not deploy ground forces....period.


i thought the Arab League was pushing for that?

and in a revision of the UN Resolution, it does allow troops to go in if the No-Fly Zone has any results

They want to seize Libya's oil and they care nothing about the lives of the Libyan people. These are the men of war ... what irresponsibility. Behind this is the hand of the United States and its European allies, instead of taking the path that we have modestly proposed.

French Tornadoes have fired the first shots, the American carrier has some Super Hornets on station and a naval blockade is being set up. Rebels have a mix of things which I'm still trying to identify. Apparently I'm seeing some T-55s with serious flaws.

I suppose you meant Typhoon, as Tornado's have gone out of business for a while now.


The GR4 will be used in this campaign.

Well that's good. I don't mind seeing other nations like France going in, but the last couple of times the US put boots on Arab soil it didn't end well for anyone. I'm prepared to permanently stop all French military jokes if they successfully resolve this conflict.

America wanted to take a back seat in this.

They already are in Afghanistan and Iraq. If America took helm of this it would make things worse for them.

And this just happened:

David Cameron has confirmed British forces are taking action (and by action i mean they have started the air strikes) in Libya.
