I came across this article on yahoo.com . I think that a handful of these going missing should cause some serious alarm, let alone 20,000 of them. The article says that there SA-7 and SA-16.

I think not sending ground troops was a good idea; the Libyans had already stated they didn't want a foreign ground force there. Though, maybe some sort of aid(at least ammo, etc.) would have helped the rebels.
As far as the missing weapons, that is a concerned. Though, according to who are the weapons missing(NATO, Libyan Rebel, or Loyalists)?

Some other news articles listed a group funded by the State Department called Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement. There was also mention of estimates of weapons found in large quantities . Just imagine the kind of weapons a large standing army might have on hand. Small arms heavy weapons, tanks , mortors, anti tank, anti armor, anti aircraft ( you get the idea ). The missles are not the only thing not accounted for, but it seems to be the " oh crap this could be bad " list.
These are shoulder fired, man portable weapons that could bring down a wide range of military and civilian aircraft.

Google missing missiles. there's plenty of pics of the SA Missiles mounted on trucks.

For something more serious than a few piddlin' fighters enforcing a no-fly order. They won't tip their hands that they've got'em until they've got a real reason.

I wonder how long before some of these weapons proliferate to Afganistan and are used on our boys and girls; Russia may have the last laugh after all.

old or new model SA missile, it wont matter. All one of those missiles will need is a good heat source, and exhaust coming off of 2 - 4 massive jet engines is more then enough.
