A New Proliferation Threat
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
The apparent destruction yesterday of a civilian airliner by a surface-to-air missile – which murdered nearly 300 innocent civilians – is an outrage. The nearly simultaneous claim by a Russian separatist to have shot down a Ukrainian “transport aircraft” may help assign blame.
While it is not easy to intercept a plane in high-altitude flight, shooting one down at lower heights is unfortunately becoming increasingly an option for enemies of the Free World.
That’s thanks, in part, to the proliferation of man-portable anti-aircraft missiles after Team Obama helped jihadists overthrow Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi. He had an arsenal of some 25,000 of these weapons and many have wound up in dangerous hands.
As a result, we may soon see a lot more outrages like Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.
