I've heard nothing new.

But I did find some pics of the PLAN escorting some of the ships leaving libya.

I guess Obama has set out to answer the question from Platapus (post #7).

Nonetheless, Ghaddafi, who resides in his own version of reality at all times, can be trusted to continue attacks or killings where he feels that he can get away with it; not to mention that the allied forces don't seem hardly ready to take real action. TLAM may correct me on that though.

Allied TO&E as of now...

10-12+ F-16s
6 CF-18s
A French Frigate, Charlies De Gaulle on 72 hour alert to sail (28-35 Aircraft)
Italian Carrier Giuseppe Garibaldi with up to 16 AV-8B Harrier IIs in AO, plus Tornado ECR SEAD aircraft on alert.
A Belgian Frigate
UK Tornadoes and Typhoons plus A2A tankers.
Other NATO tankers
Plus other assets mentioned in this thread.

The only other major US asset I now know to be in the Med is the USS Florida SSGN 728

UPDATE:

USS Providence launching Tomahawks against enemy land forces?
