djweeble Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 The ground invasion has already begun, but don't expect to read this in your papers until the corporate media are told to release the information. Hint: Do some digging on "Africom", some real digging, and see what you come up with :Struggle: http://uruknet.info/?p=m76189&hd=&size=1&l=e March 24, 2011 WCTI-TV in New Bern reports those Marines, assigned to the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) at Camp Lejuene, are "preserving the sanctity of the city [of Ajdubiyah] and the safety of the civilians within it." Capt. Timothy Patrick with the 26th MEU told the station: "In Libya right now they are doing exactly what we need them to do. They are doing what they are told, and right now that's protecting Libyan people against Qadhafi forces." Evidently the Marines' efforts are being successful. The commanding officer of the 26th MEU, Col. Mark Desens, says that following a second round of strikes by AV-8B Harrier jets, the Libyan dictator's forces "are now less capable of threatening the town than before." According to the report, the 2,200 Marines with the 26th MEU are nearing the end of their deployment in the Mediterranean area and are due to be replaced with Marines from the 22nd MEU out of Camp Lejeune. A March 7 notice from the commanding officer of the 22nd MEU says that unit was being deployed to the Mediterranean Sea earlier than previously planned.

Phil Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 If this is true, it's disgraceful The west should not get involved in what is a Libyan civil war. This is even more blatantly for OIL than the Iraq business was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndLoser Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Aren't the CIA and Egyptians running training camps in eastern Libya teaching the rebel forces how to use the latest heat-seeking missiles (which have been supplied via Egypt) and aren't US artillery spotters (for calling in nato airstrikes) embedded with rebel units on the ground? The training camps have been operating since the start of the conflict...
