Obama authorizes secret support for Libya rebels
President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing covert U.S. government support for rebel forces seeking to oust Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, government officials told Reuters on Wednesday.

It’s the politicians talking, Major Dad. To them, weapons is weapons, regardless of whether they were made to NATO or Warsaw Pact standards.
So, to them, air dropping a few pallets of grenades is the same thing as shipping in a couple MLRS batteries.
And after my earlier comments regarding Secretary Gates, I offer up the possibility that he does have a spine after all.
