I doubt it, Obama is risk adverse to have something go wrong and blow up in his face.

Obama's desperate "October Surprise" has already backfired on him on September 11 in Benghazi...

Obama set it up to take the consulate staff hostage....so he could "negotiate" their release in exchange for the Blind Sheik just before the elections.

Interesting take.

I guess it doesn’t work when the hostages are all murdered on the initial assault. Of course if you can blame it on a video that nobody in the world has ever seen you could try that. Hell, it worked with a birth certificate.

No, wait a minute, we’ll think of something else.

I had not heard that take on it, spokeshave. How very interesting and in my view, plausible. Wonder if there is any corroborating evidence we can find to support it.

Hope there are no other “October Surprise Plans B, C, and D” in the offing.

Your reason for the Benghazi tragedy is one of the best I have read.

I'm ashamed to say that has real credibility ... but then I thought the US had a long standing policy of never negotiating with terrorists or kidnappers

WOW!! You could be right......Obama has promised his fellow Muslims that the Blind Sheik will be released back to them!!

There's an article called Weapons Hunting that put a different spin on it.
