- LONDON: The head of Britain’s Royal Navy says the government will face some hard choices if the intervention in Libya’s civil war continues beyond six months.
But Defense Secretary Liam Fox said Tuesday that Britain had shown it had the resources to play its part in the NATO operation.
In a briefing for reporters Monday, Adm. Mark Stanhope said he was comfortable with NATO’s decision to extend the Libya operation to the end of September.
He added: “Beyond that, we might have to request the government to make some challenging decisions about priorities. If we do it longer than six months we will have to reprioritize forces.”
