After British, Italian and French denials; Libya The Sequel.By Graham Vanbergen Grandstanding in front of the worlds media Cameron exclaimed to the people ofTripoli; Your city was an example to the world as you threw off a dictator and chose freedom,adding; Your friends in Britain and France will stand with you as you build your democracy. So successful was the campaign to rescueAfricas most prosperousand thrivingnation that the sequelis currently underway to rescue it once again. Back in 2011 a United Nations Security Council resolution (Res #1973) resulted inAmerican and British naval forces firing over 110 Tomahawk cruise missiles, the French, Britishand Canadian Air Forces undertaking hundreds of bombing sorties across Libya and a naval blockade by Coalition forces along with airspace over the country being declared a no-fly zone just as Cameron envisaged. The USA, Britain and France have since been utterly discredited in their missionto rescue Libya withits so-called humanitarian aimsand replace dictator Gaddafi. Libya is now completely immersed in anarchy, sectarian conflict, and violent extremism perpetrated not only by a brutal fractured militia and homicidal gang warfare but by the Wests new favourite number-one evil enemy ISIS. Libya will now spend years, if not decades recovering from itsnewfound status and position in the world as failed state, just like Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. Britain, France and Italyhave denied the presence of any boots on the ground in Libya.The establishment pressis acting as the international government mouthpiece. The Guardian The government has said it has no plans to deploy British troops to provide security for Libyas newly-appointed national unity government. PressTV Libyas internationally recognized government has denied media reports that French special forces are engaged in covert military operations against Takfiri Daesh terrorists in the North African state. Reuters As long as I am prime minister, Italy will not go to Libya for an invasion, Renzi told Canale 5 television. Just one week ago the British government made a full denial that British troops or that itsair force were already deployed in Libya. After all, this is a matter for Parliament to decide, that is what democracy is supposed to be about. But this British government has form. It denied any military presence in Syria before a parliamentary vote a few months ago and found both the Prime Minister and Defence Secretary had lied with special forces operations and bombing raids already undertaken months beforehand. The Guardian quoted a government spokesperson just two weeks ago who issued an unusually strong denial: What members of the foreign affairs committee heard on their recent visit is wrong on a number of counts. There are no plans to extend airstrikes to Libya nor are there plans to send British troops to provide security on the ground in Libya. David Cameron himself statedagain, just two weeks ago in Parliament that: If we had any plans to send conventional forces for training in Libya then of course we would come to this House and discuss it. In another denial, British Foreign Office minister Tobias Ellwood declined to comment on British special forces operations, but oddly admitted that the RAF was flying missions over the country in preparation for possible attacks on ISIS. This was denied later. No UK troops will be deployed to Libya and airstrikes will not be extended to the war-torn North African state, the governmentspokesman told the Foreign Affairs Committee chair after being questioned.The spokesman then flatly denied airstrikes or that troop deployments were imminent. You cant get more explicit than that! In the meantime denials accepted;Britain has launched covert military operations in Libya against ISIS militants with the support of Jordan, Middle East Eye (MEE) revealed. MEE obtained a detailed account of a meeting Jordans King Abdullah held with US congressional leaders in January, when he revealed the previously unreported deployment of British and Jordanian special forces in Libya. It appears, according to the Jordanian King that Britain does indeed have boots on the ground in Libya. The king said he had turned to the British for support due to the absence of a clear US plan, and added that the war against IS required counter-insurgency warfare and not traditional open warfare. British troop deployment, SAS or otherwise, was also confirmed back in January byRTwho reported that Approximately 6,000 European and US soldiers, including 1,000 British troops, were involved in a number of offensives set up to halt the advance of the jihadist terror group. More recently, the FrenchDefence minister promised an inquiry into aninformation leak as French special forces aresaid to be operating in Libyaamid consistent government denials. And as for Italy, as GlobalResearch points out: Under the plan, up to 1,000 British troops would form part of a 6,000-strong joint force with Italy Libyas former colonial power in training and advising Libyan forces. British special forces could also be engaged on the front line with a view thatBritain And Italy Is To Occupy Libya again. So much for Italys PM emphatic statement thatas long as he is Prime Minister, Italy will not go to Libya asan invasion force. And to emphasis the point, a Libyan Government spokesman, Hatem el-Ouraybi said last monththat the recognized government didnt allow and wont allow any foreign forces to enter Libyan territories. Our brave soldiers in the Arab Libyan Armed Forces are the ones who freed Benghazi from the hand of terror without any support from the international community, he said. He was reacting to a report by Frances Le Monde newspaper that French special forces and members of the DGSE (French Intelligence and external security service) were in Libya for clandestine operations in cooperation with the US and Britain.
