Reply #15: Qatari troops were on the ground all along I read. Boots on the ground

foreign boots. I guess Qatar provided the uniforms also. And British special forces were there too.

Libyans better get used to having foreigners running things from now on. Then they will have to decide if the devil you know isn't better than the one you don't know after all.

Early on in this, the ordinary people were beginning to 'smell the betrayal'. NPR had a reporter there who interviewed one of the original people who had started out protesting. Back then they had few guns but he told the reporter that 'strangers we do not know' are giving orders sending us to fight when we have no chance of winning'. He was furious and said he was going home to try to save his home, as this was not what they had started to do. He told the reporter 'I have seen things I do not wish to talk about right now'. I guess he saw the foreigners and was afraid that if he said too much they would kill him.
