Camp Lejeune Marines sent to Libya...

2,200 Marines and sailors from Camp Lejeune are preparing to deploy off the coast of Libya in northern Africa.

Why are we sending Marines to Libya when Obama said (as recently as last night) we won't have boots-on-the-ground there?

What's that Boy Scout credo?

Can't be true, Obama said there wouldn't be ground forces in Libya. He'd never lie to the American people...

Peggy Joseph can answer that for you.

Anything Obama says is simply for the edification of the masses and the press. Reality itself is not a government issue.

Seems Obozo has no problem telling big lies even when he knows the truth will prove him to be a liar. What a scumbag. He can't get much lower than that. Obozo and his entire administration is so corrupt and inept it makes some 3rd-World countries look good in comparison. Obozo must be rated the worse U.S. president in history.

Err, Libya is a dangerous place. Some of you seem to think our military should not be prepared for, virtually anything. There is a small matter of controlling the Mustard Gas storage which may require a force of US Marines when the time comes. Kadhafi will be going at some point and prior to that there may well be efforts by some to get a hold of that. I assume many of you would like to see the Marines do that instead of anybody else.

Because you never know, that's why.

Even in a small military operation where there is a committment to not send in any ground troops, who would think it was a BAD idea to have a few marines around just in case?

Perhaps the Military people who know what is going on felt they might be needed. I doubt if 2,200 Marines and Sailors are going to invade but they might be needed to help evacuate pilots and civilians
