Unsecured Libyan Weapons Went to Boko Haram

Add another drop of tragedy to the story of America’s reluctant, no-boots-on-the-ground operation in Libya in 2011: Weapons that were never secured after Muammar Gaddafi’s ouster made their way to Boko Haram, the Islamist terrorist organization now holding hundreds of Nigerian girls. Last May, Boko Haram staged an attack in the town of Bama, killing 55 innocents and freeing 100 prisoners. That month Reuters ran a story by Tim Cocks headlined “Nigeria’s Islamists staging bolder, deadlier comeback.” It explained:

The Bama attack showed their substantial firepower, including machine guns, large numbers of rocket propelled grenades (RPGs) and pick-up trucks mounted with anti-aircraft guns, a sign the weapons flood from the Libyan war that helped rebels seize parts of Mali last year has reached Nigeria, officials say.

And other weapons in Libya went to Al Qaeda rebels in Syria.

IF that is the case then why is Assad still in power? What caused Obama and lord McCain to go silent on the drum beat of Assad has to go?

Back in debate No. 2 presidential election 2012, Romney had Obama on the Benghazi ropes. (Yes, I remember the Crowley cow interference but,) Debate No. 3 Romney's answer regarding Benghazi, was Russia? Something tells me that Obama's Syrian rebels did not get the Benghazi weapons. Else Assad would indeed be gone.
