The president of the US does not know what is next in Libya. The end result of this is going to be the huge loss of civilian llife and the loss of life of American troops.

The President of the US doesn't know anything about anything.. other than to feed the people shit and tell them its sugar.. knowing all the while that no one buys it.. and being arrogant enough to not give a damn. The phony fraud wouldn't know a turd from an M&M... and less about anything Military.. Just amazing that he is still breathing air..

Twirldoggy is probably referring to "No Boots On The Ground' according to Obuma.

O'Reilly Guest: "Absolutely" True That Troops Are "On The Ground."
On the March 24 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host
Bill O'Reilly asked guest Col. David Hunt (Ret.) if it was true that "special
forces are already on the ground in Libya." Hunt responded "Yes, absolutely,"
adding that Obama is spreading "disinformation" about the presence of ground
troops to protect "assets on the ground" and that "we don't talk about covert
activity."

From The O'Reilly Factor:

O'REILLY: In the impact segment
tonight, not much new to report out of Libya other than Gadhafi's ground forces
continue to be hammered by NATO war planes. Some Americans fear there will be
boots on the ground in Libya.

The Obama administration says that's not going to happen, but what is happening on the ground may surprise
you. Joining us now from Washington Lt. Colonel Tony Shaffer, a former Army
Intelligence Officer and from Boston Colonel David Hunt, Fox News military
analyst.

So we hear special forces are
already on the ground in Libya. True, Colonel Hunt?

COLONEL DAVID HUNT,
U.S. ARMY (RETIRED): Yes, absolutely. You've got British service been in there
about three weeks ago and captured and released. The French GIGN have been in
there and our special forces and our U.S. intelligence operatives and their
assets.

We do not conduct operations like
this, large scale air operations without people on the ground. They have been
very successful, very good, not a lot of contact with the rebels because you
don't know who to talk to.

But, yes, we have got Intel
gathering, and rescue guys and special operations guys on the ground, have had
them for about 12 days.

O'REILLY: Now, do you agree with that,
Colonel Shaffer?

LT. COLONEL TONY SHAFFER, FORMER
ARMY INTELLIGENCE OFFICER: Yes, I have heard from my sources — I got a call
from one of my key sources on Monday and that's exactly what's going on. Let's
be really clear here.

You have got to have these
individuals doing what Dave just said, especially when you are talking about
trying to protect and the stated goal here, Bill, is humanitarian support.

So you don't want to have weapons
hitting the wrong targets. So, Dave is very good on the fact that we have
special operations guys sitting there with laser designators.

O'REILLY: Now, the Obama
administration says flat out we don't have any boots on the ground there. We
are not going to have them. Is that a lie, Colonel Hunt?

HUNT: Yes, it's disinformation. It's
protecting guys whose assets on the ground. We don't talk about covert
activity. Some the stuff I have been involved in both the Southeast
Asia and the Balkans, you know, it's really protecting our guys.

O'REILLY:
You were one of the guys on grounds in the Balkans, Colonel Hunt was, when we
weren't supposed it have any guys on the ground, correct?

HUNT:
Yes, and the reason it's not published want to protect the guys I was
with. In this case, it was Seals and trying to do some Intel work – without
the bad guys knowing about it. It's the same issue here with Libya.

The bottom line is that there is no reason whatsoever for us to be in lybia. They pose no threat to us. Obama does not have the authority to send in troops. He should be impeached for this, and the military leaders that go along with it should be court martialed and held for war crimes.
