UK military deployed to Libya -- And the typical verbal jujitsu (lies) to Pretend it is "Legal"
Edited on Wed Apr-20-11 02:45 PM by Distant Observer
The usual story, AGAIN. Few seem to understand how determined the British have been in pursuing the goal of re-establishing dominance in North Africa and how standard is the current modus operadi for toppling a defiant regime. Interesting how the UK Gov had no money for libraries in England, but now the empire of Oil is involved, money is no object.

UK military deployed to Libya as EU mulls sending 1,000 humanitarian troops




Britain is sending a military team to Benghazi to bolster its diplomatic team already on the ground in the rebel capital of Libya, according to a statement today from the British foreign secretary. The European Union is also preparing to send troops for humanitarian assistance if requested by the United Nations.

The moves may be setting the scene for a clash with Libyan forces, as The Washington Post reported the Libyan government said today that it will fight any foreign troops on its soil.

“If there is any deployment of any armed personnel on Libyan ground, there will be fighting,” Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Kaim told reporters at a news conference in Tripoli. “The Libyan government will not take it as a humanitarian mission. It will be taken as a military mission.”

8. LOL! Yeah, sending in British TROOPS should end the barbarism
and murder -- or at least, outdo it.
