Preparing to head off any potential counter-attack by Gaddafi forces, NATO powers are readying a "humanitarian" occupation of Libya with thousands of British and American soldiers, risking the possibility that troops could be sent into yet another quagmire to rival Afghanistan and Iraq.

Eager to control the country's vast oil resources and its 144 tons of gold bullion, a plan to send in troops would represent a complete violation of the UN's own resolution authorizing military intervention, unless of course the soldiers were labeled "peacekeepers" and inserted under humanitarian cover.

Recall that the EU ground invasion force that was proposed back in April was similarly couched in humanitarian rhetoric and yet would have been empowered to "secure sea and land corridors inside the country," a transparent military objective.

"Hundreds of British soldiers could be sent to Libya to serve as peacekeepers if the country descends into chaos, Downing Street indicated last night," reports the Daily Mail.

"The troops have been on standby for Libya since the start of July. All their kit is packed and they are just waiting to get the call to go," said one source.

Similarly, a U.S. occupation force has also been on standby for several months.

As Infowars reported back in June, military sources indicated that 30,000 troops from the 1st Calvary Division (heavy armor) and III Corps at Ft. Hood were being readied for deployment to Libya by October.

As we highlighted before the NATO attack on Libya even began, hundreds of British, American and French Special Forces were sent to Libya at the end of February to train and command the Al-Qaeda led rebel army. These Special Forces troops were later caught on camera fraternizing with rebels by an Al-Jazeera film crew.
