I dont remember seeing anything about arming Libyans in the UN res.

It does say "protect civilians".

Now the Brits think, this could be laid out as a permittance to arm rebels to help them protect civilians as no foreign troops are allowed on the ground.

They might get away with that, as long as the UN does not implicitly disallow giving weapons to the rebels.

And they will not do that.
