Boots, sneakers, wing-tips – whatever CIA operatives and advance soldiers/trainers wear, they are in country and holding their first ever CIA “Boots on the Ground” spring shoe sale in Libya. Seriously folks, did we really think that the rebels called in the hits for the missiles from ships and ordinance from aircraft?One wonders when we will run out of government personnel and have to call a temporary agency during an “incursion” or whatever term is being used to describe our sudden military presence in someone else’s country.
You have to love the way Obama set things up. He said from day one he likes to surround himself with people who disagree with him – to sharpen him up. As a result it is patiently clear that Hillary wants us in Libya while Barack is still agonizing over details. We are not a damned if you do and damned if you don’t country. Make up at least one mind among you in the administration, will you?
Let me be clear: adult residents of this country do not want to keep reading headlines such as:
Source: CIA operating in Libya, in consultation with opposition
U.S. military switches Libya strategy
Libya’s foreign minister resigns
Report: Obama offers help to rebels
‘Flickers’ of al-Qaeda in Libya
Amid debate on whether the allies will arm the retreating and undertrained rebels, a U.S. intelligence source told CNN the CIA is in the country to increase the “military and political understanding” of the situation.
“Yes, we are gathering intel firsthand and we are in contact with some opposition entities,” said the source.

Makes you wonder if Pentagon sources or CIA deep throats have a grasp of reality: most governments and people do not talk secrets with or in the press. Don’t insult our intelligence.

There is just so much wrong with our being there right now.
And it brings Obama’s hypocrisy into blinding focus.
Shameful.
Hope you’re hanging in there dearest. Been keeping you in my prayers. *hugs*

You are right, DF. There is more than a lot wrong with us being there but with the education of most Americans these days, they will never see it. So sad. Thank you for continuing to pray for – the very best gift.

Morning SH. If Obombya really wanted to surround himself with people who disagreed with him, I believe he’s been wildly successful. Granted, not many of them are in the Administration, but still…

ROFL you silly man. I like the vision you have provided of Obama being surrounded by a nation of people who disagree with him. Brilliant,

SH thank you very much for your feature on me on your great blog. My gratitude to you is forever. I was going to post on my blog today about our boots already on the ground in Libya but instead I am going to link to your article here if that is ok. This is great post! I can say no better!!
One thing I notice about BO consistently is that the truth is usually the opposite of what he says in public. He says he surrounds himself with people who disagree with him to keep him on toes but from what I hear coming out of the WH is that just the opposite is true. My sources tell me that it angers him greatly when his inner circle does not agree with him. In regards to Libya, BO said the US action would not be a matter or months or years but DAYS. I knew when I heard him say this that he was lying again. He thinks that putting NATO in charge solves everything but he insults our intelligence by hoping we don’t know the FACT that NATO is the USA’s alter ego and incognito identity. Just how stupid does this president think we are anyhow? Apparently he thinks we are really stupid.
Now yesterday we find out we already have boots on the ground and that US Marines are being deployed to the area to “assist.” Assist with what? Putting oil in war planes LOL? He’s deploying Marine Expedition brigades and their job is to go in an “explore” or “survey” the are on the ground!! Again, who does this president think he is fooling?
He now says that he is not going to arm the rebels yet until we know who they are for certain. It’s pretty clear that some of the leaders are al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood along with Hamas. Our own reporters from CNN and Fox News have reported they recognize the faces from Iraq. The administration already knows this but BO is trying to figure out a way to justify giving arms to the “rebels” and avoid being impeached or charged with aiding and abetting the enemy. As soon as he figures out a way to do this then he’ll go right ahead and supply them I’m sure. He says, too, the “rebels” need training. The ONLY way to accomplish that is by having US boots on the ground….which are already there just as you have said in this post.
After BO is out of office I have already suggested to him that he buy a wagon and horse and tour the nation selling snake oil elixirs. He’d be great at it LOL! Watch out mama! And hide the kids!!
