Yes I'm fairly young. No, that doesn't mean I'm automatically dumber than you or have less life experience, thats just generally the case. I am not your general case.

i would be doubtful of US involvement too, as the US has stressed so much that they wouldn't put boots on the ground. The Canadians and British have people there alongside red cross and humanitarian groups, it wouldn't be too difficult to repurpose them
[/quote]If I was to offer my professional opinion I would say send in a full assault battalion. Considering they have to get around hostages the best thing is to secure the outlying perimeter first and then send in a two or more fireteams to perform the actual securement. Shock & Awe is their best weapon. [/quote]
Are you high?
The region is destabilised as it is, and if America of all the countries in the coalition put in soldiers the backlash would be huge. Countries would pull out of the coalition and 1973 would become void.
And as for hostages Gadaffi could be bluffing. He's delusional but not stupid. [/quote]he's saying that if anyone goes in it should be a full battalion, however, i agree the US doing so would be seen VERY negatively, even more so than any other country in this situation[/quote]Thank you, I would say the Canadians along side rebels could mount a direct assault and a British SAS or U.S. SEAL team could execute the actual apprehension. In theory at least. [/quote]
The Rebels and Candians/British idea would work but not the addition of American troops. One because America will not deploy any soldiers due to the international uproar it will cause, two becuase there are no SEAL, 1st SFOD-D ar Green Beret units in the area and finally becuase American units do not have a good reputation for hostage rescue. There trained primarly alone the cold war basis of lighnting strikes and gurilla warfare, while JTF-2 and the SAS are more multi-role[/quote]Actually, SEALS have been perfecting hostage rescue situations since an unofficial incident in South America years back. You'd be very surprised at the improvements they've made. [/quote]

Really? i never heard about any of this, except for the increase in counter-piracy training.
Slightly off topic, I would like to pioint out that Canada has female special forces operators currently deployed in Libya
