Seems to me the French are probably the logical nation to supply the bulk of any ground troops. I can't think of any other major entanglements they've got at the moment, they have a history of troops in north Africa, and it's just a hop across the Med for them. Yes, there are plenty of reasons why they might not be the best fit, but they're probably the only force available in sufficient strength.
I'm sure they'd also love to secure the oil fields at some point to guarantee supply back home...
