We didn’t give them MANPADS, they took Gaddafi’s.


I agree. I do think we were trying to buy the ones they took because someone understood “what might happen.”

Obama does not want the low information voter to learn that his Libya policy led to Al Qeada getting their hands on MANPADs. It was important to get boots on the ground (leading from the front, if you will) to secure the weapons (and who knows what else). Obama refused.
