Burnt out tanks and cars belonging to forces loyal to Colonel Gaddafi today littered the road between Benghazi and Ajdabiyah.
The RAF proclaimed the start of hostilities a success just hours after British and American warships unleashed cruise missiles against Libya as the world finally lost patience with the dictator.
Tornado jets, submarines and stealth bombers fired 112 Tomahawk missiles and dropped explosives on 20 coastal locations as Gaddafi's men tried to take control of rebel-held Benghazi.
Stormshadow missiles were launched from GR4 fast jets which had flown 3,000 miles from RAF Marham in Norfolk and back - the longest range bombing since the Falklands.
David Cameron today pronounced the action was 'legal and right'.

My Comment: These armor forces loyal to Gaddafi were caught in the open .... and they did not have a chance against NATO air power and missiles. The fact that these attacks occurred near rebel positions .... and these rebel positions were left untouched by these missile strikes .... tells me that there are spotters within the rebel ranks that are directing NATO airstrikes. Any bet that there are French, British, and American special forces on the ground.
