TRIPOLI, Libya — Some weapons depots in Libya have still not been secured properly, and “much has already gone missing” from unguarded sites, the top U.N. envoy in Libya said in an interview Sunday.

Preventing more weapons from being smuggled out of country will be difficult, considering the nature of the vast desert nation’s borders, the envoy, Ian Martin, told The Associated Press.

Weigh InCorrections?

inShare. (Giulio Petrocco, File/Associated Press) - FILE - In this Sunday, Sept. 4, 2011 file photo, Ian Martin, special adviser for the United Nations in Libya, appears at a joint UN-National Transitional Council press conference in Tripoli, Libya. The top U.N. envoy to Libya says some weapons depots in Libya have still not been secured properly, and that “much has already gone missing” from unguarded sites. Ian Martin told The Associated Press on Sunday, Nov. 6, 2011 that it won’t be easy to prevent more weapons from being smuggled abroad.

.“That has to be a priority now, to secure what still remains in Libya,” he said. “Over time, the international community can assist Libya and its neighbors with that, but I am afraid there is not a quick and easy solution to that problem.”

If everybody already knows where the weapons went (Gaza), are they truly ‘missing’.

Some of them have already been found - reining down on Israel...which al Queda claims credit for.

More will be ‘found’ - as soon as the donkey trains get them through the mountain passes from Pakistan and safely through the valleys in the Kunar Province that O’Bumbles freely gave back to the terrorists over a year ago - along with caches of our weapons...

And without our troops in those valleys - that kept the terrorists from freely flowing into Kabal, etc, more of Libya's weapons will be ‘found.’

WE knew from the beginning of the Libya operation that al Queda led the rebels. The excuse for taking out Guadaffi was that he was ‘going’ to kill his own people.

The story that got quickly buried was that the ‘people’
he was going to shoot down were al Queda prisoners who had escaped from jail, commandeered a police station and weapons depot - and were starting an uprising killing Libyans.

What we don't hear is that Mubarak and Quadaffi were cooperating with us in intelligence re the terrorists, that they, alone, were keeping the Muslim Brotherhood and al Q (whom they hated)in check in their countries.

Now the vast countries of Egypt and Libya are under Muslim Brotherhood control - al Q gets vast caches of weapons, France and Germany will get the oil form the pipe line to Italy, many billions in gold that guadaffi held in country has gone “poof”, and Tripoli, the capitol, is now free to once again become the seat of the Caliphate.

One wonders if someone hasn't been led to believe he will sit on the throne as the returned 12th Imam, the great Mahdi? He has certainly been successful in clearing the way for it.

Not to worry, they will resurface. This is “Gunwalker” writ large.

Anybody want to place a bet on when the first commercial airliner is shot down with a shoulder fired missile?
I’m guessing there will be one shot down before 7/2012. And it will be blamed on faulty wiring in the middle fuel tank. Never mind the witnesses who saw the rocket streaming towards the airliner before the explosion./S
I think that would be obama’s fault as he promoted the arab spring fiasco/crap.

SOME stuff has gone missing...?!

Friends, TWENTY THOUSAND MANPADS missiles went missing —portable anti-aircraft missiles.

If just 50 were known missing, it would provoke a huge uproar, but with 20,000 gone and Hillary and Obama responsible, verrrry little will be said.
