It would be silly and suicidal given the current anarchic state for anybody to go into Libya without security/protection. Just do a search on the 4 New York Times journalist held in captivity for over a week and it should be plain as day for any rational person to understand the need to be armed.
I see you conveniently harping now on the fact that they were armed and ignoring the fact that there was only 8 of them. Even if you want to argue that they weren't any diplomats among them, it really strains the bounds of credulity to suggest that they were part of any "invasion". So first it was "foreign troops captured in Libya", that was proved false... yuh den do a quick google and find a next link about 8 foreigners and yuh basing yuh "invasion" argument on that.
We still waiting on yuh "mercenaries myth get debunked" info... no amount ah "glasses" talk could detract from the fact that yuh yet to substantiate the shit yuh talking.
Ok you deserve a promotion...yuh elevate yuh rank,,, ah cyah call you just...... Captain America no more..you get promoted to Major Argument.. keep yuh uniform crisp
yes, the pictures were false....but both links alluded to the same story..fact is you said there were no troops on the ground..reality is there were/are and not just them fellahs but more
nobody go send an entire battalion in the early stages...but stay tuned
second...I could google up a bag of articles saying the black mercenary stories are false.
it wouldnt prove anything other than,,nobody actually knows (well except you of course) what the truth is as the place is in chaos at this point.
the 'information' comming out of there is like the info when the iraq war first started....all kinda falsehoods reported in the mainstream press.
