After weeks of talking the world kind of agreed on what to do about Libya and Gaddafi. UN Resolution 1973 was passed and work could begin on establishing a no-fly zone over Libya. Thereby preventing Gadaffi from using his airforce to bomb the rebels, who had been driven back all the way to Benghazi. Before the ink was dry French jets had already taken to the air to take out Libyan army tanks, something which was not in the no-fly zone agreement. Shortly afterwards the rest of the coalition unleashed some of their might and Gadaffi’s air defenses were attacked by cruise missiles, fighter jets and bombers.
