Obola has been activated by his KGB handlers?

Ok, either the author is an idiot or the plan is a disaster in the making.

First, why would you make an opposed landing right into the heart of your enemy's strength? You think ISIL may be set up to defend their headquarters? Yeah? How about making a relatively unopposed landing somewhere else nearby (landing operations are when you are most vulnerable) and then forming up and hitting the defenses?

The "plan" to head south to Tripoli? Fool, Tripoli is northwest of Sirte. The primary oil fields are southeast, and Benghazi is northeast. This calls into question the author's (or planners') basic grasp of geography. Also, the notion of splitting your forces and heading off in to different directions leaving your logistics point/landing point relatively undefended doesn't sound smart. This is a lot of territory to cover, against an enemy that is small, camouflaged, and mobile. Not a smart plan.

Finally, and perhaps most disturbing - why would you publicize your plan in advance? Ever hear of a thing called OPSEC? Idiots all.

It's Debka, so it probably isn't. Think of the resources required to bring in 6-8 divisions over a beach, then engage in urban, house to house fighting on two fronts.

For Kuwait, about 11 divisions of western troops were committed, plus ancillary units (not counting Egyptian and Saudi forces).

Seems like a plan to get more US forces killed, which soebarkah likes very, very much.

If this is true, why are we announcing this to the world? And where is the former Libyan army?

Debka is like Alex Jones, when they tell the truth, you don’t know whether to believe them or not.
