The sad fact of the matter is, despite the fact that Gaddafi's regime was oppressive and wrong, we aren't helping the rebels because we genuinely care.
We're helping them because Libya has some of the best oil in the world right now, and we're just using the rebels as a free army that we won't be reprimanded for if damages are taken. Once the rebels have taken control of Libya our governments will put a puppet leader/government at it's head and we'll drain all their resources.
Seriously, is nothing sacred these days?People wanted help to lead better lives we honoured them by not putting boots on the ground WE PAYED them to keep up the fight and gave them free weapons and body armour.
So what if there is oil in the country im sure if the USA started a civil war other nations would jump in and help the people.
Some times oil or other resources takes a back seat to the genocide of millions of innocents.
Actually, Canada had special forces on the ground for months marking targets for American warships, before NATO intervened.Special forces are outside of the UN and as far as people are concerned are there because they want to be. They are not considered Boots on the ground.
Also they where their solely to train the rebels and to help with intelligence and communications to help the rebels. They where also finding military targets for warships and aircraft to attack.
They are now helping to hunt down Gaddafi they have nothing to do with the UN or NATO and the Britain can easily say the SAS are there on there own accord and deny their involvement despite everybody knowing its bull.
Boots on the ground is mostly the army or marines basically any ground force would be against the UN mandate.
Oh, please.
Just because there isn't a huge -blam!- force over there, doesn't mean that there aren't "boots on the ground". JTF-2 don't train people, they were there on a military operation that was given a green light by the Canadian government.
Canada had troops on the ground, and I'll bet USA did too, it just wasn't on the news. I don't care if they're special forces or not, they belong to the Canadian/American government, so that means there are troops on the ground.
