Benghazi: 400 Anti-Aircraft Missiles Stolen

[ignerntbend]

Q: If administration had said that the Benghazi attact was unrelated to the Ciaro attack [which was happening at the same time] what would you have said?

So are they Stingers or Hellfires? Now I'm really confused.

Or ballistic missiles of some sort? If there is any truth to the story at all, they are probably Stingers or a Russian made version.

I Googled both the News and the web. The only two terms used consistently were SAMs and shoulder-fired. The type of weapon and the country of it's origin were not mentioned. In the link, in my previous post, there is a picture of a supposedly Irani holding some type of SAM. IMHO, I would think that if Obama was running arms to the rebels, he wouldn't send them US weapons/technology. This wouldn't be for security reasons, it would be to cover his lib rearend.

If the pic is what was stolen, it is a Russian made SA-16. These are widely available.
