Heating up in Libya

Eurasia Review:
Libya Ground Operation May Start In April � Russian Intelligence
The international coalition force is planning a ground operation in Libya that could start in late April, a high-ranking Russian intelligence service source said on Friday.
�Information coming via different channels shows that NATO countries, with the active participation of Britain and the United States, are developing a plan for a ground operation on Libyan territory,� he said.
�From all indications, a ground operation will be launched if the alliance fails to force the Gaddafi regime to capitulate with air strikes and missile attacks.�
If the events in Libya follow this scenario, the ground operation could start �in late April-early May,� he added.
BUT...

Admiral: U.S. studying Libyan rebels -- after going to war on their behalf
Admiral James Stavridis, commander of NATO and overall chief of U.S. and coalition forces in the Libyan war, says American intelligence agents are "examining very closely" the rebel forces for whom U.S. forces have gone to war. So far, Stavridis says, the U.S. has discovered "flickers" of the presence of al Qaeda and other terrorist groups, although Stavridis calls the opposition leadership "responsible."
Flickers? A hella lot more than flickers unfortunately.
If these are people who are rebelling against an oppressive regime, where are their speakers, where is their declaration of independence, what is their platform? We do not know these people and yet, we are blindly putting them into power...
