October Surprise: Obama Plans Major Airstrike on Libyan Targets
Breitbart ^ | 10/3/12 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 10/03/2012 4:25:46 PM PDT by Evil Slayer

Today, a Defense Department official confirmed to Breitbart News that there is advance planning for a “substantial air package” against targets in Libya. Military sources suggest that this means that flight missions against Libyan targets will include manned flights, not merely drones.

The New York Times reported yesterday that the Obama administration is preparing an operation to “kill or capture militants” involved in the Benghazi attack resulting in the murder of our ambassador to Libya and three other Americans. According to the Times, the Joint Special Operations Command is putting together “so-called target packages of detailed information about the suspects.” These files are a coordinated project with the CIA and the Pentagon.

The Obama administration is under heavy scrutiny for its failure to protect the US consulate in Benghazi, and for its lack of security around the ambassador. Furthermore, the Obama administration is increasingly perceived as weak on terror, particularly in the aftermath of the Arab Spring, which has largely been hijacked by the well-organized Muslim Brotherhood. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to testify next Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee on the lack of security for the ambassador.

Nope. Where’s Code Pink been lately? Or that lady who slept in a ditch in front of Bush’s house? (forgot her name). If it’s Obamagabe then the war is okay. If a Republican, well then .....

!00% wag the dog.

The bad guys won’t be killed and we will be treated with video and photos of dead women and children.

Well, maybe not, because this is all top secret, so the world doesn’t know about any of this yet.

OR, Obama will just keep the “Big Boy” talk going for the next 35 days.

On the power associated with the presidency, Obama is a bitter clinger.

How about we just get the FBI in there? They have not gotten in yet.

Perhaps they want to destroy evidence with a missile.

Why would the Defense Department “leak” info about a planned air strike unless Obummer wanted to make himself look tough?

This dink would leak anything if it makes him look good — or if he THINKS it will make him look good.

You are right, actually I am a part of the 47% as you correctly defined it. I was referring to the 47% who are going to vote for Obama no matter what because they probably couldn’t understand a single sentence in this post no matter how it reflected on Obama. Like the Obama Phone lady and the Howard Stern interviewees and Warren Buffet and Sean Penn and Madonna. And I sure hope it turns out to be less than 47%.

The Republican Congressional Leadership (is that an oxymoron or what?) should be out front holding a major press conference warning Obama not to use the military for such blatantly political purposes. Romney should not shy away from this either. This won’t necessarily stop him, but it will raise awareness before the event that the public should have some ability to realize that bouncing some sand in the middle of the Libyan desert is a political show and nothing more. I’d be willing to bet a lot of money (if I had it) that they won’t have any reliable target information when they go. After all, how hard could it be for those terrorists to melt away into the vast wilderness, especially when the FBI has STILL not gained access to the site over three weeks later?

Watch him totally screw it up. Obama and his handlers will not be focused on what they should in order to do this kind of thing right.

This is another Clintoon-Lewinsky Missile Launch (the 'military' type launch).

I don’t think the 47% care whether we protect our embassies or not. I doubt they know or care where Libya is or what an ambassador is.

Totally accurate...unfortunately.

Yep, another aspirin factory. Obama is waiting to calibrate the strike based on his poll numbers. The farther behind he is in the polls the bigger the military action.
