BBC News: Reports that Number 1O Downing Street has flagged that the UK will be in Libya for a long time. It easy to get in to a War, its not easy to get out, also its more difficult when that War in military terms in a stalemate, the NATO air strikes have prevented the Gaddafi Regime from wiping out the Eastern rebels and a total massacre in Misrata in the West of Libya, but in the long haul this War is damaging to NATO, the UK and its close Allies and the Obama Administration. Lets be honest here folks, Libya in military terms is a third rate power and this War is still going on, NATO image is hurt by the impression that it cant topple Gaddafi, the UK, France and Italy look weak by not getting boots on the ground. In the case of Obama Administration it looks like President Obama wants to see a post super power US, a lot like Great Britain after the loss of India in 1947. Also at end of the day Gaddafi could still win, thus the people of Libya will suffer, a lot of negatives folks, Libya might just be to costly for the West in PR terms.
