No employment worries for Special Ops or CIA direct action teams...

Special Ops and CIA direct action teams are facing full employment thanks to the fruits of a poorly run, sloppily organized and totally mismanaged adventure in Libya.  This depressing story is from Defense Talk...
Al-Qaeda's north African branch has acquired a stockpile of weapons in Libya, including surface-to-air missiles that are threatening air travel, the EU's counter-terrorism coordinator said Monday.
Due to the turmoil in Libya, members of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) have "gained access to weapons, either small arms or machine-guns, or certain surface-to-air missiles which are extremely dangerous because they pose a risk to flights over the territory," said Gilles de Kerchove.
Amazing.

Seems like there will be no end to emerging terrorist threats.  Is it time to push this back into the law enforcement pile instead of the military one?  No opinion just putting it out there.
