Obama Wouldn't Send Ground Troops Into Libya Would He?

The EU is. They just need UN approval (and they'll get it):
Libya conflict: EU awaits UN approval for deployment of ground troops | World news | guardian.co.uk

The EU has drawn up a "concept of operations" for the deployment of military forces in Libya, but needs UN approval for what would be the riskiest and most controversial mission undertaken by Brussels.The armed forces, numbering no more than 1,000, would be deployed to secure the delivery of aid supplies, would not be engaged in a combat role but would be authorized to fight if they or their humanitarian wards were threatened. "It would be to secure sea and land corridors inside the country," said an EU official.

Sounds sorta like the advisers we sent into Vietnam eh? But see, it's the UN, it's not us!

Don't you listen to him at all? He promised not to send troops in to Libya. Just like he promised to get them out or Iraq, not use signing statements, close Gitmo, stop rendition, ...

Damn, is there a pattern here?

There might not be a choice at this point, without some real help Ghaddafi is going nowhere.

So why do we need to get rid of Gaddafi??

Why is it even the U.S's "job" to fix everyone else's military problems. I say let them deal with it.
