If we used our airpower to allow radical moslems to grab surface to air missiles and they use them to bring down American airliners, will the press blame the Democrats? We’ll have to start calling the old press THE RED-HANDERS for all the American blood on their hands.

You’re exactly right. It is very possible that we have installed an embryonic Taliban-type regime. Folks may forget that when the Taliban first seized power in Afghanistan, our ace State Department was guardedly optimistic that they would bring “stability.”

SA-24 resistance to jamming may have had something to do with Obama switching from Marine 1 to driving to Camp David if you’re into speculating. And plenty of new SA-24’s were in Bengazi.

Didn’t the liberals also think that the regime change in Iran was a good thing?

I remember when the media and left were going nuts on the Bush administration over unsecured weapons in Iraq. I’m sure they’ll get right on this....

Yes,clearly America wants to have a north African caliphate set up to whack Israel.
Fools.
Whatever happens to Israel happens to the US of A.

Obama needs to be tried for treason, one more time.

How about sending Pelosi and Kerry to Libyia to fix the problem?
