How “secret” is it if it is being splashed all over the internet. You have to wonder about the IQ of journalists. Then again...no you don’t.

Obama has a choice between the bad, the worse and staying out and picks the side that will be a threat to the US. Obama is expanding the drive for the Greater Caliphate and will get a lot of Christians killed in Syria and Egypt, and then the transnational Islamists will move against Europe and the US.

Oboma is helping his brothers build a caliphate in the middle east. He's trying to start WWIII. He believes his brothers should rule the world (with him in charge, of course.).

The “October surprise” is most likely an Islamist attack on US soil sponsored by Obama’s Al Queda soldiers.

Remember the “truthers”? Then remember how liberals love to project their intentions. This is just the kind of crap he would use to retain power - killing Americans means NOTHING to him.

One wonders if he will renounce his citizenship and move there. After all, if he loses, Moochele won't be proud of her country any more.

It would be a secret if the fraudster in chief didn’t use it to try to bolster his tough guy image on foreign policy. Everything is about him and his reelection.

US has a very bad track record of supporting one type of terrorists over another type. Is anyone expecting any different this time around?

The best thing to do is wait it out and arm Israel.

Secretly? Seriously? This is secretly?

This Resident is such a glory hound.

Hey Mr. Resident, secretly means it takes place and we don’t know about it. You know, like all the private info about the Osama Bin Laden hit. That stuff is supposed to be top security, eyes only. Only a nine year old child would let that out. And sure enough, you did.

There is a law against assassination of foreign leaders. what is the legality of our government overtly overthrowing foreign leaders? Screw the politics. I don't like the smell of our government of any political stripe just overthrowing governments. I didn't like Iraq but at least there was a history of UN sanctions, congressional approval and lots of public discourse

If the world isn’t careful, this could happen when its least expected,

Isaiah 27:13
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.”

This is garbage. This damned idiot is getting us into a war where we have no interest in helping EITHER side. And does anyone ever stop and think? As we depose and kill leaders across the middle east, that someone might want some revenge?
Obama is of course, endangering himself, but typical for this SOB, he is endangering the people in our government who are far less protected than he.

We are way out on thin ice here, november cannot come fast enough.
