The article mentions an EU navy attack that destroyed weapons, equipment and fuel in May of 2012. This is the first I heard of it. Anyone else hear of it?

This was pretty well reported in the international and defense media. Since the US had no involvement it got no coverage in the US MSM. I think perhaps it's so odd that the Europeans would do something militarily that the US doesn't lead that the media didn't even recognize it.

I think it makes the current occupant of the White House look bad. I wonder if his administration argued strongly against such action. I think that the MSM did not cover it as a reflex action to protect their guy.
