Sources: US weapons stolen in Libya raids, fueling Special Forces pull-out
Fox News ^ | September 11, 2013 | Adam Housley

Highly sensitive U.S. military equipment stored in Libya was stolen over the summer by groups likely aligned and working with terrorist organizations, State Department sources told Fox News -- in raids that contributed to the decision to pull Special Forces personnel from the country.

The stolen equipment had been used by U.S. Special Forces stationed in the country. Lost in the raids in late July and early August were dozens of M4 rifles, night-vision technology and lasers used as aiming devices that are mounted on guns and can only be seen with night-vision equipment.

"This stuff is how we win wars. The enemy doesn't have that," one source said.

” Obama is the most incompetent commander in chief we have ever had, and that is including Jimmy Carter.”

No truer words were ever spoken.

Obama is a figurehead, a demagogue, a vessel for a left wing cabal that is currently running the country.

A Manchurian candidate managed by them and a sycophantic media.

It’s all just a terrible misunderstanding. There must be a Youtube video that explains it all!

Oh yeah, sure... “stolen” as in “we can’t purchase these weapons for Syrian rebels, but we *can* re-purchase ‘stolen’ weapons for our own Special Forces.”

The SA-24 has also been exported to very few countries, Meaning that if half a dozen US airliners went down one day, at various points around the world, Iran, and all the rest of the usual suspects would say “Don’t look at us, we have never imported any SA-24s!”

My tagline for about 8-9 months prior to November 2008:

Obama: Carter’s only chance to avoid going down in history as the worst U.S. president ever.

It is nothing but another Obama Fast and Furious gun-walking scheme. He did it intentionally.

He took a dog-do snowcone, and stuffed it in my right eye.

He took a dog-do snowcone, and stuffed it in my other eye.

And the husky wee-wee (I mean the doggy wee-wee) has blinded me,

and I can’t see (temporarily).

[Fits right in, except the roles are reversed. Today, Vlad the macho fur trapper is the one blinding Barack the Eskimo Kid.]

It’s a red herring designed to lead away from the real reason these SF guys were pulled out of Libya. They were getting close to nailing the Benghazi attackers.

ZACTLY..!!!

Well, he [vlad] did have the unmitigated audacity to one-up the messiah on the world stage, so the fur trapper has done a bit more than bludgeon a baby seal this go around.

On second thought... it’s not as though anyone with a few neurons firing didn’t already see that coming. I guess that’s what happens when you take a narcissist off script.

I don’t trust his allegiance.

Guess we should have checked his real ID, not his virtual one, before we let him through the door.

I’m skeptical. As much as I would like to believe Obama actually would have SF hunt down the Benghazi organizer, I don’t. More likely Obama would have SF hunting down any witnesses who could damage the O’s or Hillary’s reputation....once those are taken care of, I seriously doubt Obama cares about nabbing the guy behind Benghazi

Jimmy looks like George Patton compared to Barry O

They stole our stuff so we’re leaving? Who believes that line of krap? People movements happen all the time but with the Obamuzzie bunch there always has to be an excuse.
