As payback for Lockerbie, Reagan did airstrikes against Khadaffi —at Bengazi, even. Naturally, Khaddaffi came to know the threat of airpower pretty well, and went on a decades-long campaign of acquiring MANPADS —very many of them.
At final tally right before his fall, Khaddafi had 21,000 MANPADS which went almost totally unguarded.
Funding a CIA op often brings meddlesome questions from Congress, so with all those missiles laying around, Libya presented some interesting intel op potential:
1. No questions from Congress
2. Little need for funding missile buys
They had knocked off a dictator who was having real reservations about the whole petrodollar system, and they’d use HIS missiles to knock off Assad —nice..!

1. Missiles for Muzzies
2. Swap Cyclops for Stevens
3. BOTH of the above

Jesse Ribinson (as in Michelle ) Jackson is doing life for his involvement with the gang. They were all close till his arrest
