The top U.S. military commander for Africa says the Pentagon is planning to begin training 5,000 to 8,000 Libyan soldiers by midyear to help bolster the nation's security. The U.S. is also looking into providing additional airlift assistance to South Sudan, where violence has killed more than 1,000 people and driven 180,000 from their homes in the last month.

Where are the courts martial for the American Special Forces who “lost” armored vehicles, weapons and night vision equipment in Libya? I would not be surprised if Al Qaeda is already blackmailing these dumbass Democrats with those missing anti-aircraft missiles.

I wonder how many ambassadors Obama has ordered the State Department to provide for targets?
Because most of the ruling elite had their personal wealth stored in the form of GOLD in the Libyan National Bank. We were supporting the takeover of the Libyan Government by the Muslim Brotherhood and the bank would be at risk. Ghaddafi refused to relinquish control of the Libyan National Bank, and the rest is history.
