Yes, but it appears to have been an equipment malfunction. The only way you can blame this on the Libya operation is if it comes out that the plane was flown without being inspected properly because we were in a rush to attack.

It is easily blamed on the Libya operation. It was flying there under orders to do so when it crashed. What made it crash is immaterial. Out military is pretty damm good about maintaining multi-million dollar aircraft. We will never know because they bombed the crap out of it most likely to protect TS data which may have been salvaged.
