Small Wars Journal notes that the BBC is reporting that the Brits and the French are sending troops to assist the Libyan rebels. Reuters states that an EU resolution to support a UN mission to supply Misrata with all 27 states supporting the effort. Even the Germans were in favor (after prior abstentions regarding involvement in Libya). The last time the Krauts entered Libya a guy named Rommel was in charge of things, it will be an interesting exercise in coalition warfare to see the Brits, French and Germans all on the same side without the US playing governess. Or, as the author rightly points out, is this just a way of leveraging the US to play along with greater efforts in-theater?
I am pretty sure this is how we got involved in Viet Nam, one drop at a time.
