I don't want to say " I told you so" but I will, at the beginning of the Libyan 'conflict' (war is no longer PC) I said I thought that the govt may have to do a "Thatcherlike u-turn" after the Falklands and review proposed defence cuts. Well that's exactly what Cameron is doing judging by todays reports in the press.
Mr Cameron is understood to be "actively engaged" in reassessing the planned reductions in personnel and equipment, the Daily Telegraph said.
It is understood some of the Strategic Defence and Security Review's (SDSR) recommendations, which included cuts to all three services, could now be postponed or even reversed.
PaulB mentioned on another thread the UK's no show in other troubled states indicating the lack of a carrier as one of the reasons. Spot on
