The government of President Nicolas Sarkozy of France appears determined to lead the western response to the crisis in Libya from the front. On Thursday France became the first big western power to offer official recognition to the Libyan opposition.

Ghadaffy could probably kick the crap out of the french army right now. The FFL, well that is another matter. They kick complete ass and are a bit scary. Ghadaffy would likely flee if he even heard a rumor that they were coming.
