Overview of U.K. war costs for Libya

Interesting war costs here for the U.K. involvement in Libya.

If it is anywhere near accurate, it costs less per mission for a Tornado that it does a Typhoon.

Interesting.

Bombing range practices have more strategy than Libya operation

It is possible that "European air power" is at a turning point; and not a good one. NATO as a whole has no sound strategy for Libya.

Keep dropping those expensive precision guided munitions into useless dirt with no threat of a land invasion to back it up.

Either one wants regime change or they do not.

It seems Libya will continue to be an amusing sideshow simply because no one is interested in the correct application of air power.

A side-show with no strategy. Our involvement in Libya

Take a look at all the firepower used in this graphic. Imagine if it had a real strategy backing it up? This is a side-show for no practical gain.

Stop wasting my money on stupid conflicts Mr. President. Crazy man Kadaffi is looking more and more like a military genius each and every day. He's still there.

Just think. Someone actually advised the President on this mess. The mission is stupid. Yet if you are going to do something like this, it had to be backed up with ground troops. Once it was determined that this wasn't going to be a "strategy", well, here you are Mr. President. You own this one. All the way. Sorry, that was a motto for the 82nd Airborne Division. My bad.
