German Support

The  Allied air-strikes on the Gadaffi  regime have been co-ordinated from an American base in Germany according to an anonymous French official. (reported in Fatto Quotidiano)

"This is a multilateral operation  under the American command for American forces in Europe, based in Stuttgart ...which  co-ordinates French air operations based in Lyons and the British base in Norwood."

So now we know what the German Chancellor meant when she stated that abstaining on the UN Resolution 1973 didn't mean that Germany did not support it.
