Oh really air marshall Vince. This is a big friggen deal. They think a SAM brought down the SEALs. We had an Iraqi bring an old SA-7 to our front gate...it was a show stopper for a week until it was determined that it was dug up from an old cache. This is an issue. This was something that NATO should have planned for> i expect that they did and targeted weapons sites but who knows whats gotten out.
Something that NATO should have planned for??? Please....Libya has piles and piles of stockpile weapons lying around the country. I'm not saying that SAM's are harmless but they sure as hell are not nuclear or chemical weapons. Its only expected that the rebels find these weapons....so what???
BTW, a SAM brought down a fucking helicopter....it would have a much harder time bringing down something that moved faster....like maybe an jet....
Again, has nothing to do with the President, or the United States...the Russians sold the SAM's to Quadaffi and the rebels now have them.
