US deploys 12,000 troops in Libya


The United States has sent some 12,000 soldiers to Libya, in the first phase of deployments to the oil-rich North African nation.


According to Asharq Alawsat, the troops landed in the eastern oil port city of Brega.

Although the deployment is said to be aimed at generating stability and security in the region, the troops are expected to take control of the country's key oil fields and strategic ports.

Brega, the site of an important oil refinery, serves as a major export hub for Libyan oil. The town is also one of the five oil terminals in the eastern half of the country.

Following the popular uprising of the Libyan people, NATO launched a major air campaign against the forces of the former regime on March 19, 2011 under a UN mandate to “protect the Libyan population.

No major news outlet has any mention of this either...

Learning to check sources will help you to avoid misinformation.

I checked cynthia mckinneys political blog http://www.allthingscynthiamckinney.com/ and the article you posted above does not exist. (maybe she took it down?)
And the article posted above was in response to the false presstv article that had a fake source. 

You guys should really learn to check sources.

Is us being compensated for freeing them from a dictator any different that the dictator stealing every penny from them for the past 40 years?
