I think it's pretty clear that the B-2, TLAM and Storm Shadow phase is drawing to a close.

Which was the point I made in my posts when stating that the continued use of stand off weapons would just be counter productive!

The major risk to UN Air Power so far was on Saturday afternoon in stopping the Colonel's armoured columns near Bengazi. We can all speculate about SEAD and who provided it or if the Rebels were able to confirm they had control of AD in the immediate area. Facts are the advance was stopped and the population protected in line with 1973. We then used the works that night to attack his AD and Command and Control to allow the NFZ to commence.

It's now a case of what happens next and in this respect we need to maintain the broad political support that allowed 1973 to be passed in the first place.
