#1 Why in the world would the Libyans want old crapped out M-113s when new heavily armed BMP-3s are available? Don't tell me. Khadaffy disgusted even the Russians, but not Obama.

#3 Just for fun, google up "DDTC" or ITAR and read about all the fun stuff that needs approval to be sold overseas and the myriad of hoops that must be jumped through to get said approval. Now fast forward and within the past two years there has been a push from certain quarters in DC ( centered at 1600 Pennsylvian Avenue) to redo the list and make things easier to work....glad in this case the bureacracy and adults are still in charge.
