Whoops! Seems there are some missing misspelled missles.

I have an idea...why don't we bomb a nation that has 20,000 shoulder fired missles? What could possibly go wrong?

"Portable anti-aircraft missiles may have already been smuggled outside Libya's borders even as the United States races to help account for thousands of the weapons stockpiled by the regime of Moammar Gadhafi, U.S. officials say.
"We have reports that they may have in fact crossed borders," Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told USA TODAY.
Rogers says al-Qaeda would like to get its hands on the weapons, which fit in the trunk of a car and can take down a commercial jet.
"There are some worrying indicators that some MANPADS, type non-specific, have left the country," said Gen. Carter Ham, head of U.S. Africa Command.
Rogers said the administration's pledge to not deploy troops in Libya made the government hesitant to deploy Americans to track the missiles until recently. "I have some concerns that we may be a little bit late," he said."
Wheeee!
Well, no one seems concerned about a couple hundred guns being used to kill over 200 people in the US and Mexico, so why should we have bothered to think about thousands of surface-to-air missles that could take down airplanes?
