“Despite repeated assurances from President Obama and military leaders that the U.S. would not send uniformed military personnel into Libya, four U.S. service members arrived on the ground in Tripoli over the weekend. According to Pentagon spokesman Capt. John Kirby, the four unidentified troops are there working under the State Department's chief of mission to assist in rebuilding the U.S. Embassy. A U.S. embassy emblem is seen on a broken door during a visit for the press In the vandalized U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, Libya, Sept. 12.
Kirby noted the embassy in Tripoli was badly damaged during the conflict between Muammar Qaddafi's forces and the rebels. Two of the military personnel are explosive-ordnance experts who will be used to disable any explosives traps left in the embassy. The other two are "general security," according to Kirby. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland assured reporters Monday that the four individuals are not in Libya to fight. "When the president made his commitment to 'no boots on ground' ... obviously that had to do with entering into the fray between the Qaddafi forces and the Libyan freedom fighters, and that's not what these guys are engaged in," Nuland said.”Once again, an Obama commitment means nothing. Its akin to the ‘promise’ that the trillion dollar stimulus would create millions of jobs and drive unemployment under eight percent. WRONG! Or the idiotic notion that ObamaCare would reduce overall health-care costs while covering 30 million additional people. WRONG! When will the mainstream media stop covering up for Obama and force this loser to face the truth about his failed policies? When will Congress live up to its constitutional responsibility by impeaching Obama and removing him from office?
