In the article of the New York Times, Libyan rebels complain of deadly delays. The director of the National Transitional Council explains that as the rebels continue to fight in the eastern oil town of Brega. To no avail they are stilled being forced to retreat due to the heavy firepower of the loyal Qaddafi soldiers. Which leaving the rebels with the distort, repetitive question of “where’s the help.” Thought the day of failure attacks the Libyan rebels were disappointed to see no visible air strikes in their favor. A pentagon spokesman; Captain Darryan James, said that American air power would now be on a so called “standby mode." This would remain intact until the Pentagon and NATO gave its approval to resume attacks. With no help from the American the rebels will have less support from two classes of aircraft that had prior success against the Qaddafi forces in east of Libya. According to the Libya news the request of the NATO had included the demand of extra aircrafts to meet a shortfall created after America pulled out the jets that had carried out more than 50 per cent of the ground strikes against Col Gaddafi’s forces. In the article Dr. Liam Fox Nato official said “We will need more strike assets and that is being addressed,” Britain has stepped up to the mark with four Tornados but will have to do more.”According to the Whitehall the Defense Secretary, spent much of the weekend during a Middle East trip calling up defense ministers from across Europe asking them to contribute more aircraft. The Ministry of Defense  is ready to send more Tornados and other aircraft “if they are needed” a senior source said. “We can send the whole lot if we need to, all 129 of them. There will be uplift  from other nations, including the French, being asked to provide more to fill the gap.” The extra demands on the RAF, for operations that are expected to last at least six months, will raise questions over whether the Armed Forces can meet military demands after defense  cuts.
