Let's call it what it is, Operation Invade Libya, which stands for OIL coincidentally.
Operation Odyssey Dawn commences to end Gaddafi onslaught on Benghazi
More than 100 Tomahawk missiles launched as mission begins to topple dictator without risking troops on the ground
The first strikes came out of the late afternoon sky. At 4:45pm GMT it was confirmed that a French Rafale fighter jet had destroyed a Libyan military vehicle, possibly a tank, near Bengazi, the rebel city that pro-Gaddafi troops had attempted to storm.
Then, after nightfall, the real offensive began. As more than 100 Tomahawk missiles rained down along the vast Libyan coastline, the Pentagon confirmed that American and British forces were targeting Colonel Gaddafi's air defence systems in a concerted attempt to enforce the UN no-fly zone, ending his capacity to continue the offensive against the rebel forces.
