Al-Jazeera Footage Captures` "Western Troops on the Ground" in Libya
(courtesy of AlJazeeraEnglish, 5/29/11)
Its been revealed by a report by AlJazeera showing footage of armed westerners on the ground in Libya and cited as the “first apparent confirmation foreign special forces are playing an active role in the Libyan conflict,” and yet US, British and French special forces were already on the ground nearly three months ago, weeks before the initial UN resolution was passed. Should this be surprise to anyone now? Off course there were 'boots on the ground' in Libya who liaising with the rebels and directing air-strikes onto targets.
Images taken by Al-Jazeera showed a group of six 'westerners' talking to Libyan rebels west of the town of Misrata, confirming that NATO forces are engaged directly in the warfare. All the lip service from “humanitarian aid,” to the 'saving of civilians from Gadafi' is a brilliant ploy against ordinary people into believing this is right and just.
Also remember, President Obama stated on the record that there would be “absolutely” no boots on the ground whatsoever.
“A group of six westerners are clearly visible in a report by al-Jazeera from Dafniya, described as the westernmost point of the rebel lines west of the town of Misrata. Five of them were armed and wearing sand-coloured clothes, peaked caps, and cotton Arab scarves,” reports the Guardian, trying to 'blend in and look Arab'.
The original UN resolution was agreed to impose a “no fly zone” over Libya, which really was a opening to bomb LIbya and remove Gadafi. The resolution also specifically forbade aiding rebel fighters in any way. “It does not authorize member states to support rebels, defend armed insurgent groups, remove Qaddafi fro power, or take steps to prevent Qaddafi’s use of mercenaries.”
However, that’s exactly what NATO forces are now doing right now in Libya, breaking their own legal justification for involvement in Libya, and in the process arming and supporting Al-Qaeda terrorists.

Former SAS soldiers and other western employees of private security companies are helping Nato identify targets in the Libyan port city of Misrata, the scene of heavy fighting between Muammar Gaddafi’s forces and rebels, well-placed sources have told the Guardian.
Special forces veterans are passing details of the locations and movements of Gaddafi’s forces to the Naples headquarters of Lieutenant General Charles Bouchard, Canadian commander of Nato forces, the sources said.
The targets are then verified by spy planes and US Predator drones. “One piece of human intelligence is not enough,” a source said.
The former soldiers are there with the blessing of Britain, France and other NATO countries, which have supplied them with communications equipment. They are likely to be providing information for the pilots of British and French attack helicopters, who are expected to start firing at targets in and around Misrata this week...
