You question the wisdom of sending combat forces there without any Close Air Support assets of our own.
But hey, this is the same government that thinks it is a good idea to participate in operation right next to an enemy coastline without organic air defence. See SHAR thread.....
The US Marines are operating their Harriers in Afgahnistan from forward bases, so why can't we do the same?
Good luck to the personnel that are going.
