A couple of days ago, reports began to surface that Libyan looters were stealing “cars full” of ground to air missiles. Khaddafi had been stockpiling them for years. When his regime collapsed, the armories were looted.
Right now, Libya has the most well-armed populace in the world. American intelligence knew the weapons were there. Our spies knew where they were. We had at least two drones operating over Libyan air space. Several European armed forces were “helping” get rid of Khaddafi. No one made an attempt to secure or destroy even one of the 20,000 deadly missiles.
It’s an extreme case of “Governments will not solve problems.” The ongoing presence of the 20,000 ground-to-air missiles will justify continued employment and funding for all the intelligence agencies in Europe and some in this country and elsewhere.
Every time we fly, we remain aware that our plane (the missiles will bring down an aircraft that’s up to 15,000 feet high) and everyone on it may be among those sacrificed for the worldwide, bureaucratic zeal for problems to justify funding.
