No evidence of this. The UK government was extremely wary of doing this without international backing and reiterated time and time again that they would only intervene if it was within International Law and with a UN mandate. They explicitly mentioned this so many times that it would have been impossible for them to suddenly go against it.
The US have been taking a back seat so far. Indeed the French seem the most keen.

Dont anybody think it was strange why jets and warships was already primed ready as soon as meeting sanctions it.
It takes days to organise strategies look how long it took to mobilise for iraq.

No. Anything with a degree of common sense would know that you plan to be ready the moment the sanction was passed. The military would have been well aware in advance of the need to plan for a invention if the government ordered it and were preparing. It would incompetence beyond belief to be completely under prepared. This UN mandate was considered for a long time.

I think UN gave it under extreme pressure especialy when brits/yanks say we mobilised for nothing. I would not be suprised even probably said they was going to do something with or without UN.

Because that plan worked so well for Iraq!
They didn't roll other then why would they now?
