armed drones that monitor Libyan chemical weapon sites in the area

What the Hell is Libya doing with chemical weapons...or is this more of Soddom Hussein's leftovers?

Fox News was told there were not only armed drones that monitor Libyan chemical weapon sites in the area, but also F-18's, AC-130 aircraft and even helicopters that could have been dispatched in a timely fashion.    
Damn. As much as we need to have the incompetence of this administration revealed, there is no valid reason to disclose specifics about our capabilities and their purpose ...as it only further aids and abets the enemy. This info feels like a set up against Fox, which by reporting it ...took the bait.

I think it’s Qaddafi’s old stash, which he was supposedly getting rid of.

I remember this

Senior administration officials and Pentagon planners, as they discuss sanctions and a possible no-flight zone to neutralize the Libyan Air Force, say that the 2003 deal removed Colonel Qaddafi’s biggest trump card: the threat of using a nuclear weapon, or even just selling nuclear material or technology, if he believed it was the only way to save his 42-year rule. While Colonel Qaddafi retains a stockpile of mustard gas, it is not clear he has any effective way to deploy it.

“Imagine the possible nightmare if we had failed to remove the Libyan nuclear weapons program and their longer-range missile force,” said Robert Joseph, who played a central role in organizing the effort, in the months just after the invasion of Iraq.
