Hague = Heavy Strike Force for Libya

Telegraph: Reports that the UK Foreign Secretary William Hague has called for a heavy strike force to be on hand in case needed in the Libyan combat operation. One gets the feeling that the UK and France do not want to wait months to remove Colonel Gaddafi, thus the pressure on NATO to respond to the calls by the Eastern Libyans to attack the military equipment of Colonel Gaddafi. Lets recall the UK Armed Forces are still in Afghanistan and are still recovering from the Iraq War, the UK is going through tough economic cuts and can not afford another long term War at the moment. Thus PM Cameron does not want to be in the same boat at Bush 43, stuck in War that is not popular at home.
