British Military Officers Set to Join Ground Fight in Libya



At first, NATO will allow British military officers to assist the rebels in Libya. But later, I won't be surprise more of military presence in Libya with the US leading the way. To bring military officers on the ground means that the rebels are losing badly and Gaddafi is standing his ground.

(Stratis Incite) The United Kingdom will send military officers to help bolster Libyan rebel grounds fighting Colonel Gaddafi. Britain’s National Security Council had decided to ‘move quickly’ to expand the team already in Benghazi to include an additional military liaison advisory team.

This is the next chapter in the battle for Libya. All other options of just bombing from the sky at Gaddafi’s forces was limited in nature since he had already adjusted his battle plans against the rebels and knew NATO had the advantage in the match up. His only other effective maneuver was to scale back his forces and fight from within the cities. The accidental bombing that killed rebel forces who were returning fire at Gaddafi’s forces whom NATO pilots confused as Gaddafi’s fighters was a turning point that on the ground spotters, officers were need to help guide pilots flying missions enforcing and protecting the no-fly-zone.

Foreign Secretary William Hague said today: “The National Security Council has decided that we will now move quickly to expand the team already in Benghazi to include an additional military liaison advisory team. “This contingent will be drawn from experienced British military officers.”

Sorry Britian But Obama Says France is the Stronger Ally





Obama is hoping Britian didn't hear his gaffe, but it was too late.

(The Blaze) Understandably, news of French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s visit to the United States has been overshadowed by the events in Tucson. So when during a joint press conference yesterday Barack Obama slipped into diploma-speak and said “we don’t have a stronger friend and stronger ally” than France, not many people picked up on it. But some did — especially those in Britain.

After identifing the gaffe, Obama later said while seated next to the French President,

“We don’t have a stronger friend and stronger ally than Nicolas Sarkozy, and the French people.”
