Winning option: Although France among other European countries has been actively involved in the bombing of Libya, the NATO has taken over now.
Sarkozy has urged for it, these military action haven't been fully backed by the EU as several members have refused to participate.

Predictions

Background

"Extremely limited, but targeted strikes in specific cases and not necessarily on airbases is being explored," a member of Sarkozy's party who attended a lunch with him at the Elysee Palace told Reuters.

Sarkozy will present concrete plans for a response to the crisis at a European Union summit on Friday in Brussels and according to the source the possibility of air strikes was among the things being worked on. Targeted bombing would constitute a "lighter" alternative to the no-fly zone, French officials said. "We can bomb runways," said one. "Between that and a no-fly zone, there is a whole range of options that the military can decide upon."
