That's just a long winded way of agreeing with my statement that said "These NATO nations supplied equipment to anti-Gadaffi forces." There's a decent argument to be made these people were temporary allies of a few NATO nations, although I think it distorts the reality that they were just militias supplied as part of a campaign to destabilize Libya and opportunistically kill Gadaffi, and were at best only marginally considered meaningfully being 'NATO allies.' The actions themselves of course were performed largely by citizens (or unrecognized/undocumented residents, such as Taureg [ although many Taureg were pro-Gadaffi] ) of Libya.

*sigh* > noting that a U.S. Predator drone was involved in the airstrike on Gaddafi's convoy in the moments before his death > U.S. Predator drone was involved in the airstrike on Gaddafi's convoy > U.S. Predator drone Nobody "supplied" Predators to anyone. USAF (!) not only flown Predator there, but at least relayed some information about the convoy to the ... intersted parties and quite possibly actively participated in the airstrike. I can't sweep that under "just supplied equipment" banner.
