US Alerts Two "Elite Military Units" To Be On Standby Over Deteriorating Libyan Situation
Earlier today, news crossed the wire that the Britsh Embassy was pulling all non-essential staff from its Libya embassy, with the release of this warning: "Given the security implications of the ongoing political uncertainty, the British Embassy is temporarily withdrawing a small number of staff, mainly those who work in support of Government Ministries which have been affected by recent developments." Moments ago, perhaps in an attempt to avoid the humiliation suffer by Hillary Clinton and the Benghazi fiasco, Fox News reports that "The U.S. military has alerted two elite military units in Europe to be on standby if needed to respond to a deteriorating security situation in Tripoli."

In recent days both the U.S. embassy and British embassy in Libya have removed non-essential staff from their embassies.
A specialized Marine unit based in Moron, Spain, is in the process of being repositioned closer to Libya; and in Stuttgart, Germany, a special operations force assigned to AFRICOM has been placed on heightened alert.
Neither team has moved yet.
"We are repositioning assets in the region that could respond if necessary," a senior military official told Fox News Friday. "If the situation deteriorates (in Tripoli) we would be positioned to respond."
The positioning comes after a series of disturbing security developments. Protests broke out Sunday in the capital. The U.S., Britain and France -- the coalition that overthrew Muammar Qaddafi -- issued a joint warning Wednesday to the militias to observe the rule of law, amid concerns about rising tensions between armed rival factions. In Benghazi, there were two explosions at police stations.
Does this mean that following stern Russian resistance to US-Israeli military overtures in Syria, that particular conflict zone is put on hiatus, and now the geopolitical focus will shift back to the Arabian Spring's ground zero? At least there's some oil that may be in need of re-liberation there.

"...Moron, Spain..." Well, that explains a lot.
When you roll the "R", it sounds better...
The old days under Kadaffi are looking pretty good.
...as are the old days under Sadam in Iraq and Assad in Syria and Mubarak in Egypt....etc
How's that "Arab Spring" approach to MENA working out for you, King Putt?
Oh, never mind - it's not like any of the LIV American Sheeple will turn-off DWTS long enough to learn about this - and even if they did their first response would probably be "What's a Libya? Isn't that some sort of lady-part?"

Only mafia describe mercenary hitmen as elite

The situation in Libya has been absolute sheit for a while now. The government barely controls more than a few key cities, armed groups run wild all around, the tribals loyal to Gaddafi still say a polite "fuck you" to the government, other African militaries are operating at the borders because the unstable Libya offers their "radicals" safe havens etc. It's only natural that the west wants to make sure their operations(oil, puppet gov) are not disturbed.
the colonel was always an mi5 man.
ohmss
always paying his tribute to his masters even when he was the pantomine bad guy.
his mistake not giving rothschild everything just like chavez so they die.

secure the water the sweet light crude and the gold.
vanish the 50 billion sovreign wealth funds.

make day to day survival the only important thing and the locals will have time or mental strength to worry about where the money all went.
war is a racket a good book.
another text book is
low intensity operations frank kitson
cia and mi5 project perfection
Ahhhhhhh, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Please focus your attention on the re-emerging Crisis in Libya 2.0.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Superb move by Russian and Iranian-backed operatives to shift NATO/Deep State resources off Syria and force them to commit back to Libya.
The UN military commander is always a Russian. He shares all the UN intel with his Chechen bichez, and anyone with a vag, a dollar or an 8 ball. We pay for the US military to eat shit for the UN. This is a no brainer. Bomb the fucking UN to dust and all these Bilderberg scripted death rituals will stop. Don't ask for permission JFDI
'Another Unsung Hero',labelled a quack and not a team player... thusly, relegated to a life of misery because he wouldn't stand-down!!! 'A True Patriot, as are the courageous Mr. Hicks, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Nordstrom' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Barlow
read it and weep,...
Be funny if they all said NO, we quit, we refuse until Obama is removed.
Is this a grand strategy for Libya for the West?
Is the Caliphate in the West?
MORON Spain
Libya? Stupid me...Here I was thinking that was a solved problem. /s
Libya was not ground zero of the "Arab Spring."
That was Tunisia.
The only places in which the revolutions were legitimate were those countries where the risings occurred en masse, i.e. Tunisia and Egypt.
In Libya and Syria the risings were less broad-based. The incumbent regimes had much more support, and what happened was not revolution, but civil war, and the fortunes of the rebels depend heavily on foreign backing.
But Mohammed Bouazizi didn't need NATO to help him topple his government. Hail Bouazizi!
