Libya Has Missiles

The Continuing Threat of Libyan Missiles
By Scott Stewart

In March 2011, while many of the arms depots belonging to the government of Libya were being looted, we wrote about how the weapons taken from Libyan government stockpiles could end up being used to fuel violence in the region and beyond. Since then, we have seen Tuareg militants, who were previously employed by the regime of former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, leave Libya with sizable stockpiles of weapons and return to their homes in northern Mali, where they have successfully wrested control of the region away from the Malian government.

These Tuareg militants were aided greatly in their battle against the government by the hundreds of light pickup trucks mounted with crew-served heavy weapons that they looted from Libyan depots. These vehicles, known as "technicals," permitted the Tuareg rebels to outmaneuver and at times outgun the Malian military. Moreover, we have recently received reports that Tuareg rebels also brought back a sizable quantity of SA-7b shoulder fired surface-to-air missiles, also known as man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS).

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

countries are like people.  there's double standard too.  when suspected missiles belonged to gadhaffi and saddam, they were called threats, as iran's current nuclear ambition is a threat.  when they belong to israel, they are called defense.  but consider who's aggressive when it comes to potential war in the middle east nowadays and who are the ones who need to defend themselves.  come on, it's common knowledge that the west looks the other way when it comes to israeli nuclear weapons. 

don't get me wrong.  israel has the right to exist.  but so do the palestinians.  now look at the latest israeli incursion into more palestinian lands.
