THE PHONY ARMY

Mercenaries could be drafted into Libya to help rebel forces because British military chiefs believe the war against Colonel Gaddafi cannot be won with air strikes alone.

Senior commanders have told David Cameron that the rebels lack the numbers and the organisation to oust the dictator without fresh arms supplies and professional military expertise.

-- Which makes the rebels, what? A phony army.  But it's really the oil the French and British want to secure.  Not liberty nor removal of a half-crazed nutcase like Momar Gaddafi who shot down Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie.   Not freedom for Libyans, nor "democracy" for a country that has no democratic institutions to maintain freedom.  A poster at the story remarked, "So our "humanitarian" mission now involves us pumping up a civil war using mercenaries because otherwise it might stop." Uh huh. And make no mistake, it would be a civil war because deposing Gaddafi is just the beginning.
