UK, France and Italy = Military Advisers to Libya
BBC News: Reports that the UK is to be supported by France and Italy, they are also sending military advisers. The more London, Paris and Rome have at stake in Libya the more chance of boots on the ground, by JFK’s death in 1963 the US had sixteen thousand military advisers in South Vietnam, from there it really was a small step to a full scale war in South Vietnam. Lets hope the MOD has a plan ready for a War in Libya, one cant really see any other end, the West can not allow Colonel Gaddafi to remain in power.
