Reid: ‘Wait And See’ On Arming Libyan Rebels Appearing on Face The Nation, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said that the United States should hold off on arming the Libyan rebels for now. “I spoke to the president yesterday about this, President Obama, and I think at this stage we really don’t know who the leaders of this rebel group is,” said Reid. He also added: “We have others, as [Defense] Secretary Gates has said, that can do it more easily than we can. So I think at this stage let’s just wait and see.”
