Translation:
We armed Al Qaeda with such high-tech weapons that a rescue team would have been slaughtered upon arrival.
Good point.
Was Syrian weapons shipment factor in ambassador’s Benghazi visit?
EXCERPT
According to an initial Sept. 14 report by the Times of London, Al Entisar was carrying 400 tons of cargo. Some of it was humanitarian, but also reportedly weapons, described by the report as the largest consignment of weapons headed for Syria’s rebels on the frontlines.
“This is the Libyan ship ... which is basically carrying weapons that are found in Libya,” said Walid Phares, a Fox News Middle East and terrorism analyst. “So the ship came all the way up to Iskenderun in Turkey. Now from the information that is available, there was aid material, but there were also weapons, a lot of weapons.”
The cargo reportedly included surface-to-air anti-aircraft missiles, RPG’s and Russian-designed shoulder-launched missiles known as MANPADS.
The ship’s Libyan captain told the Times of London that “I can only talk about the medicine and humanitarian aid” for the Syrian rebels. It was reported there was a fight about the weapons and who got what “between the free Syrian Army and the Muslim Brotherhood.”
I'd say that all the calculated riske was political.
Obama sees Libya as his great accomplishment. In his mind it was better to have a few Americans killed (and explained away) than to go in and kill a dozen Libyans. Especially without asking pretty-please first.
“We armed Al Qaeda with such high-tech weapons that a rescue team would have been slaughtered upon arrival.”
BINGO!
That and he’d hate to injure or kill these savages!
