During congressional investigation on Benghazi, a Democrat asked a question about “...US provided weapons poured into conflicts like Libya...”. I find it curious that in Hillary's reply the 1st type of weapon she mentioned is “manpads” - especially if the US had not provided them...

Here's a good question from Democratic Benjamin Cardin: How does the US make sure that weapons it pours into conflicts like the Libyan revolution don't spread to places like Algeria and beyond?

“We had a concerted effort to try to track down and find and recover ManPads” and other weapons in Libya, Clinton says.

The US has estimated Qaddafi had acquired ~20,000 manpads, many of which have “leaked” into the hands of various “rebel” or “freedom fighter”(terrorist?) groups.
