WASHINGTON — The American military’s top-secret Joint Special Operations Command is preparing detailed information that could be used to kill or capture some of the militants suspected in the attack last month in Libya that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, senior military and counterterrorism officials said on Tuesday.

Preparing the “target packages” is the first step in a process that the Pentagon and Central Intelligence Agency are taking in preparation for, and in advance of, any orders from President Obama and his top civilian and military advisers to carry out action...

Libyan papers will be full of ads for human shields tomorrow.

No. Someone will die. The thing is, obama doesn’t care who...whether it’s Mexican civilians, American Border Patrol Agents, or random muslims or Christians in some godforsaken hellhole.

Libya still working out cooperation with U.S. in Benghazi probe

(Reuters) - Libya and the United States have yet to agree how a U.S. investigative team will cooperate in a probe into a deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, a senior Libyan official said on Tuesday.

And the FBI has still not gotten into Libya. I’m sure the crime hasn’t been compromised by now.

This was predicted. A few harmless missiles sent in to undefined “targets” right before the election and the Obmanation will be crowing about his foreign policy “triumphs”.

These ragheads are not dumb. They’re not hiding out in the desert where a SEAL team can find and kill them as happened a few times to the camps in Qaddafi’s Libyan desert. They’ll be hiding out in the cities of Libya, Egypt, and Tunisia;Tunis, Torbruk, Tripoli, Cairo, Alex. And we’re not going to drone them in those environments. Too big a chance of collateral damage, and as the cities in Tunisia have many Italian and French residents, too big a chance of killing a friendly. The ONLY group that has the people, the skills, the appearance, the cultural knowledge and language to do the job? Well we don’t talk to them anymore. And as long as Bombo is POTUS I don’t think they’ll pick up the phone if we call.

I would be glad if they could get the terrorists who did this.

But I have no faith that they will. They are just as likely to just kill some random people and CLAIM they got the terrorists.

And the media will simply accept whatever they are told. All these drone strikes, and the media has never questioned whether we are actually killing the people we claim we are killing.

This isn't about justice, retribution or strategy.

This is about Rambo's Obama's reelection.

According to Issa, the embassy asked for heightened security for their diplomatic missions — and got nothing but static in response.

Kinda like what happened with Massoud "The Lion of Panjsher" when he asked for CIA assistance under Clinton.

Thar is simply ridiculous. The whole damn thing is right out there for anyone with a working brain cell to understand. What are they gonna do? Dust for fingerprints?
What I want to know is the EXACT cause of Chris Stevens’ death and the condition of his body when it was recovered.

I think some people, or the 'pro-America' leftovers from the Bush era want the perpetrators to be killed. Unfortunately, the man at the top seeks to protect his Muslim brothers, so outing the plans gives the enemy a heads-up. I also believe that the Obama regime was involved with Wikileaks in disclosing America's secret cables.

OBL was killed against 0bama's wishes. I don't think he made the decision to raid that compound and was probably upset at how much this angered his Muslim brothers.

Or even confirming a kill!

Can we really expect the Blow-hole in office to exact any attack? The best Obama
has ever done is to attack a single person. Maybe there's a plumber over there who is listed on his hit list.
