U.S. Boots on the Ground in Libya

[Monkeybone]

Was bound to happen sooner or later, and at least these guys are an understandable mission, if it is true. Might have saved some gotcha politics if they would've said something.

Despite repeated assurances from President Obama and military leaders that the U.S. would not send uniformed military personnel into Libya, four U.S. service members arrived on the ground in Tripoli over the weekend.
According to Pentagon spokesman Capt. John Kirby, the four unidentified troops are there working under the State Department's chief of mission to assist in rebuilding the U.S. Embassy.
Kirby noted the embassy in Tripoli was badly damaged during the conflict between Muammar Qaddafi's forces and the rebels.
Two of the military personnel are explosive-ordnance experts who will be used to disable any explosives traps left in the embassy. The other two are "general security," according to Kirby.

I see Fox News caught the late bus again. American boots (specifically CIA) have been in Libya for some time now (as I pointed out a month ago). Where was fox when that came out? Why report on four men 'rebuilding the embassy' but not on American boots being involved in the very conflict itself?

And people ask why I don't take the MSM seriously

Maybe they are considering CIA and troops different, not saying that these guys aren't CIA.


and from your link to your post,

Now there are even persistent rumors that U.S. ground units are being prepared to go into Libya

rumors about being prepared to go, are different from confirmations.
