No Fly Zone Patrol?
Good. Now, on to Tripoli and hang that SOB.
When President Barack Obama was asked what he thought about the situation in Iran, he answered, “You know, I take a wait and see approach… It’s not productive, given the history of US- Iranian relations to be seen meddling. The US president, meddling in Iranian elections.”
Another stepping stone in place for the islamic fanatics. Thanks to muslim sympathizers like Carter and Obama.
Israel will be first on their hit list!
Hope she has alot of nukes!
> Libya rebels ‘recapture key town’
Thet should correctly be al-Qaeda recaptures key town?
Obama: No U.S. Forces on the Ground in Libya . . . Except for Those Guys.

NPR: “President Obama said Wednesday it was ‘absolutely’ out of the question that U.S. ground forces would be used in Libya.”
How would the president describe the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit? There is no such thing as a purely air-based combat mission; planes have problems and pilots end up on the ground, and then U.S. forces have to end up on the ground, hopefully briefly, to rescue them and bring them home safely. Ask Scott O’Grady how much time you can spend on the ground while patrolling a no-fly zone.
Details on the recent rescue:
The Kearsarge then sent up two MV-22 Ospreys carrying Marine rescue teams. As they were en route, the Harriers dropped two laser-guided bombs near the crash site, apparently to keep Libyans on the ground from approaching the pilot.
With additional helicopters hovering overhead for security, one of the Ospreys landed and picked up the pilot. He was then taken aboard the Kearsarge.
The weapons systems officer was recovered by what U.S. officials described as Libyan opposition forces. He is safe, officials have said.
There are about 2,200 Marines off the shore of Libya right now. http://www.nationalreview.com/blogs/print/262910

Are U.S. Troops Already on the Ground in Libya? | O’Reilly Factor
Special Guests | Col. David Hunt & Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer
RET. COL. DAVID HUNT, U.S. ARMY: Yes, absolutely. You’ve got British service been in there about three weeks ago and actually got captured and released. The French GIGN have been in there and our special forces and our U.S. intelligence operatives and their assets. We do not conduct operations like this, large scale air operations, without people on the ground. They have been very successful, very good, not a lot of contact with the rebels because you don’t know who to talk to. But, yes, we have got intel gathering and rescue guys and special operations guys on the ground, have had them for about 12 days.
O’REILLY: Now, do you agree with that, Col. Shaffer?
LT. COL. TONY SHAFFER, FORMER ARMY INTELLIGENCE OFFICER: Yes, I have heard from my sources — I got a call from one of my key sources on Monday and that’s exactly what’s going on. Let’s be really clear here. You have got to have these individuals doing what Dave just said, especially when you are talking about trying to protect, and the stated goal here, Bill, is humanitarian support. So you don’t want to have weapons hitting the wrong targets. So, Dave is very good on the fact that we have special operations guys sitting there with laser designators. Bill, you saw…

WTH are we doing?
Drudge heds...I haven’t read the stories yet because I am at a loss to understand what is going on. Are we helping an Al Qaeda and Islamic takeover? Just asking.
AL QAEDA FIGHTERS JOIN LIBYAN REBELS
US May Supply Rebels With Weapons...
NATO to take full control of Libya mission...
NATO NOT TO take full control...
Pentagon Considering Adding Air Power...
Obama: We won’t kill Gadhafi...
Obama to explain Monday...
Libyan “rebels” decide to take on the powers that be. We’ve no idea who they are and what their goal is, but we’re borrowing BILLIONS of dollars to defend them from the bad guys. Oh, and some of our troops could be killed.
Hmmmmmmmmm......seems like a more than passingly strange way to spend borrowed money.
Just sayin’.....
“Libya rebels ‘recapture key town’
should read
“Al Qaeda recatures key town with the help of The Great Satan.”
Nothing like crowing for Al Qaida is there.
Got to love olde Barry Soetoro, he bombs Al Qaida in Pakistan with out the permission of Pakistan, runs a war in Afghanistan killing Al Qaida, then he protects em in Libya.
This jerk lies out of both sides of his mouth.
Question, would Barry be able to recognize a truth if it slapped him in the face? Let’s find out and arrest him for treason and usurpation of the White House.
Wonderful. When does Sharia become law of the land?
We could be in Obama’s LIE-BYA for years to come!
