U.S. officials had once thought there was little chance that terrorists could get their hands on many of the portable surface-to-air missiles that can bring down a commercial jet liner.

I love these self-serving stories designed to get and spend more money to protect us.

Yup, nothing but peace lovin' folks who flooded the streets of Egypt and Libya. There's nothing to worry about when we stepped aside or got involved with these folks.

This is what happens when we have amateur hour in the White House.
