What do you think the GR4 has actually been doing, either in Iraq or Afg, continuously since 1992????
It would have been as good, albeit with different weapons systems, as the GR4. The big difference is we currently have 7 squadrons of GR4s, plus an OCU, and no squadrons of Harriers.
Are any of the fast jets - such as Tornado GR4, Typhoon or Rafale - actually suited to the task
Would Harrier have been any good
500. I agree with you and everyone else here the pollies don't have the gumption to see it through, they just enjoy the limelight.
Unlike anyone else here you said it was because he ADF didn't want to risk any hardware, when in truth there is already plenty of ADF hardware in harms way and has been since 1999.
You don't seem to like to mention the Hornet contribution in Iraq. One day you will see the gun camera footage and the reports.
Now, back to Libya. Lets hope the cease fire is a real one. But if that is the effect of the NFZ it doesn't get rid of the main man does it?
I would like to hear if anyone has heard any of the pollies say what they expect to achieve in the long term? and how?
TBM - I'll put my response here so as not to disturb the thread but where do I say I believe it will hold? If you want to have a go, do your best but that 'go' was, well not even worth a put down.

OZBIGGLES what are you smoking suggesting that a Ghadafi induced cease-fire is even real let alone will hold.
Why did we send Hornets to Diego Garcia when the war was thousands of miles away????
Krudd is all talk and it is embarrassing to say the least. The Canucks and others carry a stick as well as hard talk.. good on them.

Well, I did warn you it was a stupid question! But what happens if the tanks are widely spaced-out?
