British troops go to Libya amid 'Vietnam' warnings
2011-04-19
At least ten senior officers will be sent to Benghazi to try to forge the rebels trying to oust Colonel Muammar Gaddafi into a credible fighting force.

Ministers insisted that deploying the “military liaison advisory team” was not a sign of mission creep, but MPs of all parties said the move showed Britain is being dragged ever deeper into a Libyan civil war.

The announcement came after David Cameron urged Cabinet ministers to draw up new measures to help the rebels break the military deadlock in Libya.

After more than a month of air strikes, the rebels have failed to make significant progress against Col Gaddafi. British commanders have told the Prime Minister that the rebels lack the organisation to challenge the dictatorÂ’s forces.

Mr Cameron, who personally led international efforts to launch the Libyan intervention, is said to be becoming “increasingly impatient” and anxious about the stalemate.

Your Mooslim constituents back home will be most supportive. Not to mention successes in Kenya, other Home Office anti-colonial backed national liberation causes undertaken with startling, long term success include those involving Robert Mugabe and Nelson Mandela. Democracy on the march I always say.

The problem here is, we just can't seem to find a suitable 'head man' and the bloody Yanks no longer wish to participate, at least openly! Could have cured that had we known Sarah's grandson would one day be bloody president. Should have given her the old man's back pay and dole long before we got the Churchill bust back and been done with it.
