Apache Helicopters and Libya

Guardian: Has an exclusive, it is reporting on a escalation of the War in Libya, both the UK and France are going to send Apache helicopters in to the Libyan operational theatre. This is risky folks, helicopters can be shot down, this shows how both London and Paris are getting fed up with the lack of progress in Libya. The Eastern Rebels are still stuck in Libya, the Capitol Tripoli is still under control of the Colonel Gaddafi, and Misrata is still being fired on by Gaddafi security forces. At the end of the day folks the Allies of the UK, France and even the US will have to place ground troops in Libya to finish the job. In the US the Oval is coming under pressure for breaking the War Powers Resolution Act that states that US Presidents after sixty days have to get the green light from Congress to carry on military operations, Obama seems to think that the law does not apply to him. Thus Libya could be a serious political problem for the Allies if Gaddafi is still around at the end of the year.
