Supporting role? We've fired 122 of the 124 Tomahawks into Libya. We poured the concrete, put up the beams, and installed the rafters. All the coalition did was stick a couple of shingles on top.
So far, anyway.
No, we didn't do it all. We've shot a bunch of missiles. For your analogy to be correct, no one would be 'building' anything at all. Just demolition. By several different parties.
America shot a bunch of missiles. Other governments have shot stuff from planes. There are at French and Canadian aircraft in the air. The US is most certainly not playing a dominant roll in this. They are participating, as are several other countries. Canada even sent over several fighter. Does the US even have any wings in the air?
Believe it or not, there ARE other military in the world beside the us.edit on 20-3-2011 by incrediblelousminds because: (no reason given)
U.S. Air Force aircraft strike Libya
Yes, there are many air forces in the operation but the U.S. is definitely putting some iron to the ground. You can figure with the load outs of the aircraft mentioned in that link that you can put the hurt on a hundred plus targets. Targets would be a mix of command control structures and the CJ's playing wild weasel with the SA-5s or whatever other surface to air threats Libya has in place.
The Strike Eagle in the picture accompanying the article is most definitely loaded air-to-ground and I bet they rolled deep from the Heath.
