Here's how you get mission creep"

Gen. Jack Keane told the PBS NewsHour that a small number of U.S. forces specially trained to call in air strikes should be deployed on Libyan territory to help the rebels fighters repel Gadhafi's forces.

Listen to this guy and you have the beginning of a new Vietnam.

Here's some more mission creep:

An ABC affiliate in North Carolina says more than 2,000 U.S. Marines are on the ground in Libya. WCTI-TV in New Bern reports those Marines, assigned to the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) at Camp Lejuene, are "preserving the sanctity of the city [of Ajdubiyah] and the safety of the civilians within it." Capt. Timothy Patrick with the 26th MEU told the station: "In Libya right now they are doing exactly what we need them to do. They are doing what they are told, and right now that's protecting Libyan people against Qadhafi forces."

Any questions?

"An ABC affiliate in North Carolina says more than 2,000 U.S. Marines are on the ground in Libya"

If true then the White House has crossed the Rubicon.

Congress . .is this true?
