In an interview with The Sunday Telegraph William Hague, the Foreign Secretary, said: "You need a legal base for any military action, and I am counting a no-fly zone as military action, and you need support within the region from the Arab world.
"Clearly if we are to have a no-fly zone we would like Arab nations to participate in it militarily."
The request for the no fly zone establishes legitimacy and then comes enforcement. Naturally those same Arab League countries would form the military bases.

The Arab League, number one has no authority over any country in the Middle-east, let alone their military. Number two, it's much easier to beg the UN for help, so that the UN can call on the United States to get militarily involved in Libya. This way the UN and the Arab League will have someone to blame when once again the US planes bomb the wrong place and innocent Libyan civilians get killed. The best thing for America, stay out of Libya's civil war, and pull out of the UN completely, as the UN hates America and what it stands for, unless of course they need more American money or American might.
