You might get away with sending in Turk troops if NATO really wants to send troops but with the problems they are having with the Kurds I very much doubt we will see them offering any.
Support the rebels with SF and air power etc, but at the end of the day they have to fight the fight. All we are doing is leveling the playing field.

Doubtful that the Arab League is going to support troops. The other major Arab power is Egypt, and the good Colonel would just love to have Egyptians "invade" Libya; it would almost be as good a propaganda tool as having the US/UK send in a couple of brigades. As for the Italians, they last thing they want is their troops in Libya.
Based on what I'm hearing on the news, I feel that the political will to commit troops in any kind of role just isn't there.
