Too bad that one of the two countries that started the bombing campaign is now leaving the EU because too many economic migrants are coming through Libya now, while Germany is trying to process them all and gets blamed for it, too.

And besides, what "decent capability"? Did you miss the news about the state of our armed forces? Despite the fact half our Eurofighters can't fly, last time I checked they were not even ready for anti-ground duty yet. Not sure how many Tornados we have left. And even the very ready and capable French and British ran out of guided bombs after about a month. Then again with only one bomber ready to fly, our bombs might have lasted longer...
