Cameron hits at Libya comments
PRIME Minister David Cameron has laid bare his frustration with forces chiefs questioning the sustainability of Britain’s military commitments, telling them: “You do the fighting and I’ll do the talking.”
Mr Cameron was forced to insist that the mission in Libya can be maintained for as long as necessary after the concerns of the RAF’s second-in-command were leaked.
Air Chief Marshal Sir Simon Bryant said the current operations in Afghanistan and Libya were together placing a “huge” demand on resources.
In a briefing paper for politicians, Sir Simon said the RAF’s ability to respond to future emergencies will be curtailed if the mission in Libya was continued beyond the summer.
