Obama Plans Cyber Attack 'Message' to Moscow

The Obama administration is considering launching a covert cyber attack against Russia to retaliate for the country's alleged interference in this year's presidential election, according to intelligence officials, with Vice President Joe Biden saying Friday that the White House is "sending a message" to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Current and former intelligence officials, said to have direct knowledge of the plans, told NBC News in an an exclusive that the CIA has already been asked to deliver options for an operation to "embarrass" Putin and other Russian leaders.

They did not say what the CIA is planning, but told NBC that the agency has been selecting targets and making other preparations. Also, the agency has gathered documents to expose Putin's tactics, the network said.

On Friday, Biden dismissed suggestions that the White House has failed to respond to Russia's interference, telling NBC's Chuck Todd that "we're sending a message," and "we have the capacity to do it."

"He'll know it and it will be at the time of our choosing and under the circumstances that have the greatest impact," said Biden, adding that he hopes the public will not know.

It is an Act of War by an insane Moslem who armed
al Qaeda and then murdered an Ambassador to attempt
to retrieve SOME of the weapons.

There is something huge coming out about Obama and/or Hillary. That’s the only reason for this.

When JFK employed the blockade of Cuba and empowered the US Navy to forcibly prevent ships from moving past it, categorical photographic evidence was presented in the UN as justification.

Where is Bammy's evidence?

NBC should take a poll of how many Americans agree with this action.

It’s diversionary, for sure, since the Wikileaks dump. The Dems/Obama are trying to appear ‘strong’ on NatSec (with the narrative Trump is a ‘Russian plant’). The ‘bimbo eruptions’ against Trump are part of this as well.

The Russian have likely already hacked us and will know when this is going down before Slow-Joe Biden. How is this not the telegraphing of an act of war? Can we bring in the adults and move to impeach....finally?

So much for covert.

Since blm has been slacking and American cities aren't in flames as planned hussein plans on getting us in a shooting war with Russia as his "October Surprise".

By doing this, isn’t he indirectly validating all the Wikileaks?

Now THAT would be a war the millenials and Democrats could get behind.
