Arnie BS: Well done the RAF & Navy (68* d) RE: BS: Well done the RAF & Navy 02 Mar 11


How ironic that Cameron announces that the UK is backing a no-fly zone over Libya, and a few hours later Liam Fox the defence secretary announces 11,000 forces to be axed - including RAF pilots and ground crew. Today Cameron seems to have gone cold on the idea of a no-fly zone but has instigated a review to see what would be involved. Unlike Bliar, Cameron seems to have realised that the UK can no longer be a world policeman. Shame he opened his mouth before he put his brain into gear but at least he is now backing down rather than sending what's left of our forces to the Med. As the US and other Nato allies don't seem too interested either, it looks like the Libyans are going to have to sort this one out for themselves. The best we can do is to help out with humanitarian aid at the border crossings.
