The Obama administration is throwing its weight behind Libya's new UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA), laying out a $56 million aid plan for the coming months. The State Department plans to reallocate $35 million in current and prior year funding to help the political transition in Tripoli, special envoy for Libya Jonathan Winer told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at a June 15 hearing. The proposal would require moving around money that has already been approved by Congress.
Secretary of State John Kerry said in May that he was ready to look at exemptions to the international arms embargo against the country. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., raised concerns that some US allies notably Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Egypt have supported an array of actors in Libya. He questioned the wisdom of lifting the embargo under those circumstances.
"How can the [Obama] administration ensure that its allies are abiding by international law and not undermining the unity government?" Menendez asked. "And how can the United States ensure that the GNA is strong enough to control any arms that are supplied?"

Blue suit, blue suit, blue suit, HALLOWEEN COSTUME..!
The guy really had style, ya gotta give him that.
How much will end up in Obama’s retirement account ?
Looks like you miss him a lot. I have no problem with that arrogant POS being taken down, but the manner that was used was obviously counter-productive. According to the CIA director's testimony today there's a massive ISIS presence there now instead, that won't be rooted out quite so easily.
But he and the DNC got the message.
Does the clinton Foundation get most of that? Or will the actual cost be closer to $90 million when Hillary gets her cut.
I recall that K’daffy had a change of heart and ended his own wmd program when we invaded Iraq. He bowed out of the race and posed no threat to his neighbors.
Obama’s Mideast policy—seen in hindsight—was to repudiate, disown,renounce,and reverse any and everything accomplished prior to his assumption of power. O set out to paint a new picture over the old one— one more in keeping with his own aesthetic taste. For him and his ilk, morality and practicality are subordinate to aesthetics.
In the whirlwind that has followed it’s evident that K’daffy’s prior compliance with the US actually sealed his doom. Now, Libya will soon be another theocratic belligerent in a region that may never know stability and peace again.
What will be said of this in the future?
Academe will squat amid the ashes and ponder the question of how those people could have made such a shambles of this visionary’s benevolence.
More taxpayer funds flushed down the toilet by the boob in the White House.
This man is PURE evil
You are correct sir. Sometimes I wonder if Obungler and the Hildebeast aren't really demons who look like humans?
He was the Liberace of leaders. What style.
