For followers of the Libyan fiasco, and we are not talking about Benghazi, the irony behind Dear Leader and Susan Rice’s recent statements on South Sudan is, well, beyond rich.

[…]  In a letter to Congress, Obama said that about 46 U.S. troops were deployed Saturday to help evacuate Americans. That’s in addition to another 45 troops deployed to reinforce the U.S. Embassy in Juba.

[…]  Earlier Sunday, Obama was briefed by advisers on events in South Sudan following a meeting that his national security adviser, Susan Rice, held with national security aides and U.S. personnel still in South Sudan.

[…]  “I may take further action to support the security of U.S. citizens, personnel, and property, including our Embassy, in South Sudan,” Obama wrote. (link)

I’m just going to cut this down to brass tacks.
The latest international storylines seem to be revolving around chaos reigning supreme in South Sudan.    Over the weekend four members of the U.S. military were shot by machine gun fire as they attempted to evacuate the R2P crowd of U.S. do-gooders.

Fair enough.    But why is the media avoiding the brutally obvious?    Oh yeah, wouldn’t want to actually connect dots and seem all conspiracy minded.
Then again, failure to talk about the 20,000+ missing Libyan missiles, and massive stockpiles of missing WMD (gas et al), does not protect you from the reality of it.
Modern Middle East
Several years ago we wrote about how those massive stores of former terror armourment looted from the Gadhaffi caches was going to be a major -yet unreported- story.  We’re not talking about a few pounds of yellow-cake, or a few Man-Pads.  No, we’re talking about 20,000+ shoulder fired SAAMs, Stinger Missiles, hundreds of Man-Pads and thousands of canisters of mustard gas and serin componentry.
The story everyone sealed up in the too-big-to-scale files of military FUBAR.
Yeah, that story.
Because of the insufferable stupidity of Hillary Clinton, Samantha “R2P” Powers, and Susan “short-sighted” Rice putting NATO engagement/support behind Libyan Justice Minister, turned interim leader of the al-Qaeda “rebels“, Abdel Jalil, we ended up opening a wholesale flea market for decades worth of Gadhaffi weapons to be dispatched all over the Middle East and Africa.
Back in 2011 – (February 25th and 26th to be precise) While the African U.N. contingents were screaming for urgent response to the potential Libyan garage sale, Obama’s cabinet position U.N. Ambassador, Susan Rice, was holding court at a global climate change summit discussing “Bovine Flatulence” ie. Cow Farts.
Rice skipped the U.N Security council meeting, and Obama was playing golf.   Does anyone remember those nineteen days of silence?   Anyone?
You cannot make this stuff up.

So the U.N. Security Council met without the U.S. present and determined to charge the Gadhaffi Regime as international criminals, charge them under indictment with the International Criminal Court, and set a series of sanctions forbidding anyone (well they actually only forbid western nations that actually abide by the U.N.) from putting weapons into the hands of the “rebels”;  or anyone else in Libya for that matter.
So with the rest of the world on the outside watching but doing nothing, Obama golfing and Rice talking about cow-farts,  Zurich Mike penned the most apt description to the events as they were unfolding:  “The Zoo Keeper has been threatened to hide and the Big Cat Zoo Cages have been opened“…..
……Everything else happened as a consequence.
President Deby in Chad was beside himself as he watched truckloads of shoulder fired missiles, picked up from Libya by al-shabbab, drive through his country headed South.  No-one paid attention to his screams and warnings.
The White House and their foreign policy team FUBAR’d – big time.
Everything else from that point was a matter of:  a.) trying to keep the problem from public discussion, and b.) trying to track down the missiles with various ruses and schemes to make it seem as if they were not actually trying to track down the missiles.
All of a sudden, if you knew what to look for, you saw mysterious stories about vessels from Sudan to Yemen being sunk for some unknown reason.
Lords Resistance Army - LRA - Joseph Kony - UgandaSimultaneously, Hollywood jumped in and the LRA “Joseph Krony” manhunt was created. – For this Hollywood CIA/NSA angle think about the movie “Argo” –
Ask yourself:  What ever happened to *that mission*, and how come it just disappeared?
In Afghanistan an order was given to “discontinue close air support” because, again coincidentally, our helicopters were *suddenly* getting shot down at a much higher rate than before the Libyan SAAM’s/Stingers went missing.
Coincidence my ass !
Then viola’ in Benghazi a joint U.S. CIA/Consulate was attacked during an ongoing covert mission to retrieve “what”?    DUH !    The same friggin’ SAAM’s we previously just allowed to be picked up in the al-Qaeda garage sale.     Gee, people wondered what was the $300k to $500,000 cash in Ambassador Chris Stephens safe for ?
Oh yeah, and then what happened…..
….. A formerly insignificant military wing of al-Shabbab all of a sudden can take over a natural gas depot in Mali with hundreds of Western employees/hostages.    Apparently the on-land piracy was viewed as a better alternative to the Ocean bound activity once those Libyan freebies were available.   “Ah-hoy Matey” replaced with “al-ahu akbhar”.

We’ll skip the Kenya mall terrorism because no-one has yet to really figure out how a rag tag bunch of terrorists were able to BLOW UP a five level parking garage.  DUH x 2.

So what no-one will pay attention to in this South Sudan story is the real motive behind WHY we are so willing to jump in there.
For almost three full years now EVERY ACTION has been about strategic retrieval of the “stuff” from the Libyan garage sale.
The garage sale President Obama and Hillary Clinton put up the signs for.
