Ain’t it the truth and ain’t it a shame?

Don’t know what the truth is.

You gotta be kidding me. Is this for real?

I am hoping someone will verify that it's not real.

There is no spin because this story is fabricated. There's no news on the DoD or State Department websites.

WARNING!!!!

PressTV (recently banned in Britain - but not, apparently, on FR) is the propaganda outlet for the Iranian Regime...

It is on WND, also.

Not necessarily true, we were bombing Libya for two days before the news was actually reported.

But, I find this story dubious for now.

12,000? No blogs or tweets? No Debka breaking news?

It also is not on the BBC or Radio France Internationale websites, nor on the Voice of America website. It is not on Libération, nor La Stampa, not the Guardian in the U.K.

Enemy sources have been known to lie.

Nation building in Libya, what could possibly go wrong?

Hope this news account is incorrect and considering the source it most likely is.

I hope you are right. You know we have troops in Africa, forget which country, on a peace keeping mission and I am not comfortable with that, either.

Sorry about the triple post. The reply was very slow and I hit it twice.

Thanks for your true, and accurate statement about PressTV. It is the propaganda arm of the Iranian Government.

Personally think articles from PressTV should be banned from posting at Free Republic as it is most often disinformation.

There is no way this article can be believed period.

I think the story is bogus, it takes a lot of ships to move 12,000 troops and their equipment. There would definitely be more noise if a US flotilla of the size needed were operating in the Med.

The US has a few hundred troops in Djibouti.

Contrary to popular belief, only 6 or 7 countries host more than a couple thousand US troops. Most overseas contingents are just a few hundred doing technical work or guarding embassies, etc.

This has to be BS, has to be, plus losing all that oil in a day. Every week with Obama at the helm is a cluster****.
