Though Foreign Secretary William Hague insists no direct training or transfer of armaments is involved, the British government announced today that they are sending military “advisers” to East Libya to work with the rebels.
Hague insisted the deployment would not involve any direct fighting, and that their soldiers would wear civilian clothing while in East Libya. They are meeting a rebel force that is increasingly divided, and can’t even seem to agree who the leader is.
Previous indications have all been that Gen. Yunis was the commander of the forces, and he has always presented himself as such. Gen. Khalifa Hifter, however, also describes himself as the “field commander” and claimed Yunis was his chief of staff.
The civilian leadership of the rebels still says Yunis is in charge and Hifter is somewhere underneath him, but Hifter’s own comments blamed Yunis for the failed counter-offensives and increasing territorial losses, and suggest that the leadership is being openly contested.
"They are meeting a rebel force that is increasingly divided, and can’t even seem to agree who the leader is".
Look.., I am LOL because if that’s the case then we are deep and seriously in danger in Barak Obama, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice and Power being involved in creating this war in Libya.., I am also LOL to the face of the Neo European Liberalism of Sarkozi and Cameron and the Swedish government sending their no one wanted fighter jets to be involved in Libyan war.., but that what you would expect when bunch of terrorists from Saudis to Afghanistan are involved in liberating a country which is liberated from the colonialism of the west.., then again.., think for a moment what would have happened and be the result in massacring people if they (the rebels) become the “ruler/s” of Libya. Was this a dream of the west and buy the west to create such a momentum for the west by three sisters in charge…?
What part of the UN Resolution which says "No ground Forces should be sent to Libya "do these people NOT understand.?
This goes far beyond the UN Security Resolution and it IS TIME TO END THIS FARCE.
These will be SAS. They are allowed to resign from their post in the Army, work as highly paid mercenaries doing dirty stuff the government wants done but can't be seen doing, then return to their military post, pension intact as though they had never left. Nice little scam! Remember those British soldiers out of uniform caught by the rebels early march. They would have been SAS. The 'diplomat' they were escorting was MI6 (= CIA sort of). Interesting implications for soldiers caught out of uniform in a war zone – would be shot as spies in WWII (all praise Churchill for his magnificent greatness).
I agree with the comment above , the British are now bent on getting deeply involved in the war in Lybia and Cameron is acting as if he is Alexender the great with his counterpart Sarcosi as Napoleon and Obama,the preacher telling the Arabs to rise against their rulers, that is fine if it was a peacefull uprising but what the west is failing to understand that the arab and africans make up is different than the European and Americans and that is what the west seems to not understand but may be they do and wants to arm the rebels which will act as adding fuel to fire., Lybia is asking the UN to send indepedent witness to misrata to verify exactly what is going on.
As long as the bombs are falling all over the place the lybian regime would not call a true cease fire and this is not the solution to save the civilians, how many are dead now just to get rid of one man.
Where are the Russians and China and above all the security council doing allowing officers to put their boots on Lybian soil.

UN Resolutions don't matter. They ONLY exist to give political cover to the invaders and once the invaders are in-country any semblance of "following the resolution" is left in the wake of the army as it moves across the desert toward the oil fields.
Today's 'rebels' – tomorrow's 'insurgents'.
Be it a socialism, democracy or dictatorship, the 51% most aggressive and wealthy always rule, and as a brand new government is being created in Libya, what we see is the 1% most aggressive and wealthy advancing to “their highest level of incompetence.” As the book, Up The Down Staircase, describes it if you are promoted to a position where you rule over those more aggressive and wealthy — back down a notch you must or be driven nuts, crazy and insane.
When it wasn´t to protect civilians, what was the real reason for attacking Libya ? To change the narrative to "the US is on the side of the oppressed peoples", for oil and more profits for the MIC. The Lockerby-bomber was released for BP to get drilling rights. The Taliban were guests of honor in Texas. However, they couldn´t agree on the pipeline. Now United Bluff has built some 400 kms of the Trans-Afghan Pipeline to bring oil and gas from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan and Pakistan to go to United Bluff by ship. Soldiers are dying for air-condition in Texas.
On April 10, the African Union team met with Qaddafi. The team was a month late. On March 10, at an AU meeting in Addis Ababa, a panel had been assembled to travel to Tripoli by March 20 and engage Qaddafi to draw back his troops. French attacks on Libyan air defenses (March 19) on the heels of the UN resolution 1973 (March 17) impeded the envoys. The UN declined to allow them to proceed, despite assurances from both Tripoli and Benghazi that they would entertain the mediation. It is a remarkable – although unsurprising — example of the UN stopping a peace envoy and preferring bombardment.

So Gadaffi, Mubarak, Asad and so on are all terrorists?.
We recall that Hitler justified his invasion of Czechoslovakia on the grounds that the ethnic Germans in the Sudetenland were being mistreated and abused by their fellow Czechoslovaks.
Hitler's Germany was much more descent and honest than today's Anglo fascists.
At least they provided weapons by own money, not borrowing from China on their own people's expense.
Hitler would be envious of the lies and deception of the anglosaxon race- the angloamericaqn evil that finds some inexcusable excuse to invade other countries with blatant lies-even Hitler was right in saying that sud deautchen supported his invasion of chechoslavavia in 1938 unlike Iraqis and most of Libyans who didn’t to welcome angloamerican evil forces.
so Hitler was not justified in invading Czechoslovakia on invitation from fellow Germans there but allies so called angloamerican allies are justified in invading Libya because some armed insurgents of CIA brand invited Anglos to bomb Libya because Gadhafi wouldn’t hand over power to armed insurgents and hold on to his legitimate government. Hitler was
never that cruel compared to what the angloamerican bastards have done all cruel crimes in their colonies for last 200 years and are still doing in abufgharib, Gitmo, and to other places with bombing ,killing civilians in broad day light and every time.
it is high time that this evil anglosaxon race be sorted out by the rest of non anglorsaxon races who should attack Anglos
old connection of the british spies and govt. with terrorists.
“According to British MP Michael Meacher, in an article for The Guardian, M16 recruited up to 200 British Muslims to fight in Afghanistan and Yugoslavia. Meacher says a Dehli-based foundation describes Omar Saeed Sheikh, the man who beheaded US journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002, as a British agent. He says it was Sheikh who – at the behest of ISI General Mahmood Ahmed – wired $100,000 to Mohammed Atta just prior to 911, a fact confirmed by Dennis Lomel, director of FBI’s financial crimes unit. [13]
to save the world itis imperative that those british soldiers be killed in libya and afgansitan in high numbers.
'Military Advisors' indeed- I do hope they have read, studied, and understand the role and history of 'advisors' in modern war zones. It almost never goes as planned, and advisors who are not supposed to be engaging the enemy are nearly always caught in the field with gun in hand, with their awards going home to relatives, posthumously.
Another helping of MACV, anyone?
