Hifter is our man over there.
He kicked ISIS out of the Eastern Libyan oil fields, and is opposed to the Muslim Brotherhood and their front groups.
He lived in Northern Virginia for many years, and has a long and allied relationship with the US Government.
It is nice to see the French supporting this effort. They have long (and pretty consistently) protected Western interests and opposed islamist power grabs in their sphere of influence in Africa. They led the successful effort to expel al Queda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) from power in Northern Mali.
I'll disagree....putting surface to air weapons in the hands of insurgents is not a good idea, even if the insurgents are considered friendlies.
