The problem with the coalition is nations want to put in their two-cents, but refuse to take the responsibility to lead. The coalition can not define and implement a no-fly zone in Libya. This coalition will dissolve into two main leaders of the war; USA and UK. When this occurs, the other nations can wash their hands and ignore the problem entirely. If the coalition are unable to unseat Gaddafi, it is expected a severe vengeful backlash from him.
(Age.com.au) While the US-French-British core stayed solid, cracks started to show Monday in the military coalition hastily assembled to take action on Libya as the Arab League and some EU countries wavered.
Criticism of the operation came swiftly after French jets took to the skies on Saturday to launch the first air strikes on Libyan targets in support of UN Security Council Resolution 1973.
Arab League Secretary General Amr Mussa caused concerns on Sunday when he said the air strikes went beyond the scope of the resolution to implement a no-fly zone and said he was concerned about civilians being hurt in bombing.
Germany, which abstained in the Security Council vote when the resolution was passed on Thursday, said Mussa's criticism showed that Berlin had been right to fear military intervention.
Italy said its offer to contribute eight Tornado jets to the military operation was accompanied by concerns that the allied campaign "shouldn't be a war" on Libya.
