Defence Secretary Robert Gates reiterated the US would put no "boots on the ground" in Libya.

He also has said as long as he's in his position that will not change. He has to keep repeating this over and over and over before the dim-wits understand "none of our troops on the ground!"

Pure crazy talk.

We already have boots on the ground and anyone who denies that is lying. USSOC is there in at least moderate numbers...certainly more than a hundred.

We just don't have regular forces on the ground...YET.

Oh, we will. Bummer will take a shot at not losing face...but he'll back down before he loses his base.

except there is boots on the ground, they’re called forward observation officers and looking at the air strikes, directing etc.

This war is not right, we should not be there and neither does NATO.

Yet again the left wages a war without congressional approval, stay silent and wages a war on a country which has no direct immediate security threats on us

who are the dim wits not understand?
Because we do have boots on the ground and he is lying plus anyone who has served knows how this all works so again these dim wits are the ones who actually understand we do have boots on the ground and the dimwits are the ones who have no clue and think we do not

CIA operatives, and possibly Special Ops forces, wearing sandals do not count
as “boots on the ground”.
