In 2010, the State Department requested $350,000 in International Military Education and Training funding for Libya to "support education and training of Libyan security forces, creating vital linkages with Libyan officers after a 35-year break in contact," according to a Congressional Research Service report. That same year, the administration also requested Foreign Military Financing assistance for Libya for the first time, with the goal of providing assistance to the Libyan Air Force in developing its air transport capabilities and to the Libyan Coast Guard in improving its coastal patrol and search and rescue operations. In 2009, the State Department gave Libya $500,000 for higher education, $300,000 for human rights, $500,000 for good governance and $200,000 for civil society programs.

Now consider how many millions have we given to other oppressive regimes. Ya might want to check your math Jilf. You asked for proof that Obama was giving Libya money. "You mind showing proof of these "millions of Dollars" since in my search, there is nothing, so, like liberals on this board who do document claims, please do so. " You now have it. Though I was incorrect I should have said the "past few" years, not last.
