The Obama administration secretly gave its blessing to arms shipments
to Libyan rebels from Qatar last year, but American officials later grew
alarmed as evidence grew that Qatar was turning some of the weapons
over to Islamic militants, according to United States officials and
foreign diplomats.
No evidence has emerged linking the weapons provided by the Qataris
during the uprising against Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi to the attack that
killed four Americans at the United States diplomatic compound in
Benghazi, Libya, in September.
But in the months before, the Obama administration clearly was worried
about the consequences of its hidden hand in helping arm Libyan
militants, concerns that have not previously been reported. The weapons
and money from Qatar strengthened militant groups in Libya, allowing
them to become a destabilizing force since the fall of the Qaddafi
government.

The current administration sure doesn't do a very good job in determining who to sell weapons to, eh?
ReplyDeleteThis is kinda like Fast & Furious, only on a larger scale. Seems like every time obama and his minions get involved in any kind of arms deal the wrong people end up dead.
If it happens often enough one might think it's intentional.
