But he refused to confirm rumors that the United States was seeking to buy back some of the weapons

U.S. considering buying up loose Libyan weapons
As part of a multinational effort to secure loose, portable weapons in Libya, the United States is discussing with the Libyan government a possible program to purchase shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles from militia members and others who picked them up during the NATO-led war against Col. Moammar Ghadafi's forces, U.S. officials said. (See also the U.S. field guide to MANPADS)

Just blow the damn things up. But remember, they have another 5000 stashed over there....and another 5000 over there. It’s all about finding the highest bidder.

Since it’s now our responsibility to overthrow every friggin evil dictator on the face of the planet, shouldn’t we have a plan for this in advance?

If I remember right, we raced through Iraq with the intent of not only defeating Hussien, but securing as many weapons as we could to keep them out of the wrong hands.

Man we just get dumber every year. Seems Obama forgot that non- presidential commercial airliners don’t carry missle defense systems. Oh wait, what the F*** does he care?

What? We’re going to negotiate with terrorists to play nice with WMD’s? Sounds like a Clinton plan. Worked out well so far right?

I wonder how many are now in the hands of terror groups hell bent on bringing down Western civilian airliners?

Heaven forbid.

Sounds like something Bill Maher or Jon Stewart would wear.
