Libyan rebels asked EU for "military assistance without direct military intervention," and to impose a no-fly zone over Libya to empower people fighting.
The rebellion began with poorly trained young men drive pick-up trucks, mounted with jerry-rigged heavy weapons.
But with time, and foreign training, the rebels became a reasonably effective military force.
NATO, along with its Qatari partners, began bombing Libya, coordinating operations with fighters on the ground.
The regime collapsed as a result of the assistance of US and EU which without it the rebels would be defeated.
The same request came from Syria. The rebels requested the same, assistance, no fly zone, weapons, training, etc.
Many of US Senators [Republicans] had the same talk to repeat what happened in Libya. Desired US to give weapons, support to the rebels, meet with representatives, make their cause a reasonable cause.
Now they are back and forth on Benghazi, just in case to make Hilary's position weak for the coming presidential election. Not going to happen.
Just a thought.
