I just don’t believe anything this government says anymore, nor it’s lapdog media. We shall see.

ACTUAL headline begins with “Senior U.S. Official:” but it wouldn’t fit

Why not?
The Muslims may be evil — but some of them are also pretty smart.

So now Al Qaeda needs to do is run a “war game” about an attack on the Internet and the US shuts down its embassies? Meanwhile, the real attack is being planned using couriers and disappearing ink!

No, the more “senior” officials talk about it the more I think it’s pure distraction BS.

Eh... it may or may not be real. I don’t even think the gov’t knows any more.

I don’t think they’re this obvious.
The real Muslim we have to worry about is the one in the White House.

The part that is alarming is the confidence they showed while communicating and the air of certainty, the official said, adding that the group Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula appeared to have a media plan for after the attack. AQ has been racking up success after sucess with no pushback from the sympathizer/enabler in the WH. They killed a US Ambassador and the perpetrators are having coffee klatches with the media in public places - what's not to be confident about? Omedia himself will be glad to oblige AQ after any attack with lots of jaw-flapping, self-agrandizing TV time ... thus giving them plenty of publicity.

I’d be willing to say that if this government thinks it has to do with their embassies, it is totally something else, if that.
I honestly believe this is a blown-out-of-portion exercise meant to instill a sense of confidence that they have their eye on the ball and that there is no way they could have done as whispered around this country that they intentionally let those embassy people die in Benghazi to cover up a CIA operation to move SAMs from Libya to Syria....
Actual history and events will have to prove me wrong. Attack, or no attack. But there is still a high chance that even when nothing happens this administration can claim “preemptive victory” because they were so vigil...either way for Obama - Win, win, right?

Woo hoo! Wait till Obama hears about this! They'll be in big trouble then.
Hey. Anybody seen Obama? Anybody?

It is funny (weird funny, not ha ha funny) that no one I’ve spoken to this weekend believes any of this. It will be sad if they hit us hard and we are taken by “surprise.” But I just don’t believe what they tell me. Everything lately has been geared towards distraction or deflection.
Anyway...if they hit ME I will take it like a man.

Ditto for here too. I’ll take it like a man, too, but I’ll give it like one also. Obama won’t be anywhere around, as usual.
