Was it? Do you have a source for that?
A source... not specifically.
Remember WHY the DRONES are even flying over LIBYA ? Remember the 200 Cruise Missiles we fired at Ghaddafi ? Seems like CBA was no problem then.
Obama is giving a speech about the use of DRONES to kill terrorists. How can you kill terrorists without ARMED DRONES ? (Yes, I know they can provide the target for other military craft, but that is not what they have been doing)
Considering that it would appear that ALL THE DRONES are ARMED, why would this one DRONE not be ARMED ?
Why has no one in the MSM mentioned it, even if just to get it on record that it was not armed ?
After more searching, it appears the Media has printed articles stating that the DRONE(s) were not armed.
There are also articles stating that back in 2011, Obama authorized the use of Armed Drones in Libya.
I still believe that a FORMER NAVY SEAL would not ‘paint’ a target unless HE KNEW there was an armed aircraft immediately available in the vicinity. He knew they could ‘detect’ his position once he turned on the laser pointer.
He was right.
