U.S Troops To Be Used In Libya?

Let us take a look at the CBS article,

The United States may consider sending troops into Libya with a possible international ground force that could aid the rebels, according to the general who led the military mission until NATO took over.

Army General Carter Ham told Congress today that while sending a globalist ground invasion force including American troops into Libya may not be “ideal,” it is probably the only way to make sure the CIA organized rebels defeat Gaddafi and his troops.

I find this bit of news interesting because Mr. Obama told the American Press that the U.S Military will not send ground troops into Libya but the same time the administration has not ruled out the idea. This to me is a clear sign of a ‘possible’ U.S. led invasion.

I wonder how the rest of the world will look at the country if we deploy ground troops in a country that is currently under revolution. Time will tell I’m sure.

French Forces Join Assault In Ivory Coast.

I quote a statement from the article,

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — U.N. and French helicopters attacked Laurent Gbagbo’s last strongholds in Abidjan on Monday as forces loyal to Ivory Coast presidential claimant Alassane Ouattara streamed into the city in a “final assault.”

A quick re-cap on whats been happening in the Ivory Coast since March 1,

Gbagbo’s supporters carried out a number of attacks during March, attacking foreign businesses and UN offices in Abidjan on 1 March and killing at least six people attending a pro-Ouattara rally in the city. The northern suburb of Abobo was attacked by Gbagbo’s forces on 13 March in a bid to drive out pro-Ouattara supporters, and mobs were also reported to be roaming the city looking for their opponents and attacking or killing them. The violence resulted in 10 confirmed deaths and scores more wounded. Abobo came under heavy attack on 17 March, killing 30 people, when shells were into a crowded market from a nearby military barracks. It was unclear whether Gbagbo or Outtara supporters were responsible, though Abobo is generally pro-Ouattara. On 18 March, the UN issued a statement saying that the shelling was “an act, perpetrated against civilians, [that] could constitute a crime against humanity.” Another 52 people were killed in continuing violence in Abidjan between 21-26 March.

So with one side on its final assault the other has remained on the defensive. The United Nations has decided to join Quattara with chopper strikes against Gbagbo forces. Apparently the U.N has been in the Ivory Coast for a while only assisting in aid missions this I didn’t know.

United States President Barack Obama on March 27 released a statement telling Gbagbo to step down and hand over power to Quattara. Gbagbo has remained in power. I’m sure within a couple of days we will see what comes of this.

Former CIA Officer Explains The Libyan Situation.

By, WeThePeople

 

 

Video Description: The video explains the situation in Libya. As I stated in a previous article, when Obama announced the end of U.S. operations in Libya they never mentioned anything about the Central Intelligence Agency. I would also like to point out how the two reporters were trying to question Michael Scheuer’s responses even though the former CIA officer was only responding to their questions.
