What havoc Obama’s precious Arab Spring and aiding Libyan rebels has wrought on the middle east.
Hamas boosting anti-aircraft arsenal with looted Libyan missiles

Anti-aircraft missiles smuggled into Gaza at Iran’s initiative, but fall of Muammar Gadhafi regime provided Hamas with higher quality missiles; rocket hits south Israel Wednesday night after period of relative calm.
By Amos Harel and Avi Issacharoff
A rocket fired by Palestinians from Gaza Wednesday night landed between Ashdod and Gedera, in the first such attack after a two-month period of quiet. Sirens sounded in Ashdod and nearby communities and residents were told to enter protected rooms and shelters. There were no injuries.
Since the terrorist attack on the Egyptian border near Eilat that killed eight on August 18, the Gaza border has been relatively calm with only a few rocket launches, most directed at small communities near the Gaza Strip. Last night’s rocket, fired around 11:10 p.m., landed in a field. It seems to have been fired from the northern end of the Gaza Strip, from a distance of about 30-35 kilometers . The explosion was heard clearly all over Ashdod, which means it had a relatively large warhead.

“The United States is also worried by the developments. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who visited Libya last week, announced the U.S. would grant the new Libyan regime millions of dollars in aid in an attempt to fight the arms smuggling. American experts expressed their fears in particular over the transfer of shoulder-launched missiles to terrorists, and said the aid was intended to allow the Libyans to locate where such weapons are stored – and destroy them.”
United States is worried!!!!???
‘De-City’ level of international politics, understanding, misshifts, and diplomacy on a scale 1-10, performs
-5!!!!
and of course their is the other option….
“I will stand by Muslims…” obama said….
….and there is
This was a bad idea IMO. Can’t wait until the 24 Libyan rebels get treated and healed and slip off into the Muslim underground never to be heard from again …until?

When I heard about all of the missing missiles from Libya I knew immediately they’d been put into the hands of terrorists like Hamas. Now I know for certain! No surprise as Libya is now under control of al Qaeda posing as “freedom fighters.” This is one foreign policy mistake Obama is going to regret by the time it’s over. BIG MISTAKE!! He should have tried to keep Khadafi in power instead of turning Libya into a terrorist state like radical Muslim Iran.
I agree Rob. The same with Mubarak.
