True, but Gaddafi was the devil we knew and could deal with.

No argument there. But that is a non-sequitur to my point. The 10K-20K manpads were not "given" to anyone by 0bama and Hillbilly. They may have given them some arms though.

America's secret plan to arm Libya's rebels March 11, 2011

Obama asks Saudis to airlift weapons into Benghazi

Desperate to avoid US military involvement in Libya in the event of a prolonged struggle between the Gaddafi regime and its opponents, the Americans have asked Saudi Arabia if it can supply weapons to the rebels in Benghazi.

(snip)

The Saudis have been told that opponents of Gaddafi need anti-tank rockets and mortars as a first priority to hold off attacks by Gaddafi's armour, and ground-to-air missiles to shoot down his fighter-bombers.

(snip)

If the Saudi government accedes to America's request to send guns and missiles to Libyan rebels, however, it would be almost impossible for President Barack Obama to condemn the kingdom for any violence against the Shias of the north-east provinces.

Their actions in promoting the Arab spring in Libya “gave” the terrorists these weapons. Gaddafi was no boy scout, but he was afraid of us and that meant we could deal with him. Obama and Hillary helped open Pandora’s Box in Libya, and now there’s going to be hell to be paid. It’s like a mob boss contracting a hit on someone. No, they didn’t pull the trigger, but they ordered it and paid for it. And the results of their contract could be some serious terrorists attacks. It’s the end of the Democrat party.
