Ground Operation In Libya Could Start In April - Russian Intelligence

[Purveyor]

The international coalition force is planning a ground operation in Libya that could start in late April, a high-ranking Russian intelligence service source said on Friday.

"Information coming via different channels shows that NATO countries, with the active participation of Britain and the United States, are developing a plan for a ground operation on Libyan territory," he said.

"From all indications, a ground operation will be launched if the alliance fails to force the Gaddafi regime to capitulate with air strikes and missile attacks."

If the events in Libya follow this scenario, the ground operation could start "in late April-early May," he added.

6. Who knows? But it certainly isn't us. Aside from primary contests,

I can't remember the last time voting (for me) wasn't limited to just a choice between the lesser of two evils. Voting in America is kind of like going to the Home Depot. You don't go there to get what you want, you go there to get what they have.
