Costs add up very, very quick.
There has been some talk of the Arab nations that supported this action, instead of contributing militarily, contributing monetarily, instead, and footing the bill. Who knows if they'll do that now, though.

France says Qatar will join the international operation against Gaddafi within hours.

Laurent Teisseire, the French defense ministry spokesman, said Qatar war planes would join the operation alongside French jets and called Qatar a "historic partner" of France in the Arab world.


Speaking to reporters in Paris, Teisseire said the Qatari contribution would come "in the hours to come."

France is really pushing Qatar. Some of these Western nations have to be sick of waiting for other nations to come forth and announce their intentions.
