As a journalistic euphemism, it was intended to evoke reminiscences of the 1968 [[Prague Spring]], or a peaceful demonstration against [[authoritarian]] rulers to bring about "socialism with a human face."

The policies of US President [[Barack Hussein Obama]] with regard to the Arab Spring seemed to be in the interest of Muslim [[theocracy]], unlike previous [[President of the United States of America|American Presidents]] who have favored governments which are secular and pro-[[Israel]].  In August 2010, Obama issued Presidential Study Directive 11<ref>[https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jun/3/inside-the-ring-muslim-brotherhood-has-obamas-secr/ Obama secretly backing Muslim Brotherhood]</ref> which directed his advisers to "manage these risks by demonstrating to the people of the Middle East and North Africa the gradual but real prospect of greater political openness and improved governance".  As noted by the Washington Post, just six months later large protests began<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/03/04/AR2011030404614.html Obama's low-key strategy for the Middle East]</ref> that later turned into a regional outbreak of violence.

By March 2, 2011, reports arrive by experts identifying weaponry recovered in Gaddafi's Katiba, Benghazi compound. Most equipment is 1970s-80s [[Soviet]] equipment, still effective and operational. Some equipment designs date back to World War II. Chinese equipment also is found. A ''Wired'' magazine article specifically states, "Most of the weaponry at the Katiba has been removed and handed over to the army," although the Benghazi rebels and TNC had not yet, nor ever were sufficiently organized into an "army." ''Wired'' reported, "everything had to be stripped, scrubbed, and reassembled before testing." Much anti-aircraft equipment was confiscated.
