We ain't buying whut yer sellin! Who still believes in the Truth Fairy?

The Associated Press reports:
Administration officials say the White House has put special operations strike forces on standby and moved drones into the skies above Africa, ready to hit militant targets from Libya to Mali, if U.S. investigators can find the al-Qaida-linked group responsible for the death of the U.S. ambassador in Libya.
But the officials say the administration also is weighing whether the short-term payoff of being able to claim retribution against al-Qaida is worth the risk that such strikes would be ineffective and rile governments in the region.
Details were provided by three current and one former administration official, as well as an analyst who was approached by the White House for help. All four spoke only on condition of anonymity.
The White House would not confirm the reports.

"The investigation is on-going and we have nothing new right now. As [Pentagon spokesman] George Little has briefed recently, the DoD continues to monitor the situation closely and we are ready to respond with additional military measures when directed by the president," Robert Firman, a spokesman for the Department of Defense, told POLITICO.
Philip Ewing contributed to this report.

We ain't buying whut yer sellin! Who still believes in the Truth Fairy?
WOW! and it only took a MONTH!...........
Aspirin factories in Libya are on full alert.
if we’re really going to attack them, why are we announcing it first? stupidest thing I ever heard of!!
Why are we in Libya again?
He will make the dramatic announcement on the stage at the debate. Imagine the drama; “under my direction, US special forces have . . . . “
The obamites have watched too many movies.
Maybe they can hit a camel in the butt.
I’m puzzled. Why would 0 do this? Libya didn’t make that video and they already arrested the the guy who did.
Obama and his cabal of idiots just don’t get it.
Its the MUSLIMS STUPID!
Al Queda Taliban PLA Mulsim Brotherhood etc etc..
This is not a group of a few people it is ISLAM that is attacking and killing us.......
He wants the applause.
1. Thought you still didn’t actually know who did this.
2. Yeah, let’s announce that we’re going to strike BEFOREHAND, I’m sure everyone will stay put and wait for it.
3. Let’s win this thing even if we have to kill people....oh never mind, we tried that already and it doesn’t seem to be working so let’s kill more people. (Kind of like the economic policies that aren’t working but we’ll keep doing the same thing until it does.)
This is unreal, I find that it is so outrageous I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the thought that people will actually vote for obama...again.
Me either. Remember when the Sink Emperor had the sudden urge to stage night time bombings in Baghdad during the impeachment hearings?
The focus group must have said Zero looked like a no-action pussy for not taking immediate action in Lybia. Reagan bombed them and they stayed quiet.
Un—flipping—believable
If Barry appears to be losing the debate look for “Breaking News” to halt it and announce that we are bombing Libya.
SURPRISE !!!!
Hey Obozo...don’t do it! Just sit down and fold your hands, you’ll be leaving soon. Real men will move in to clean up the mess you kids have made.
You can’t even get along with us at home, why would we trust you with the neighbors?
So does this mean the admins investigation is over and they know who is responsible for the terrorist attack? Who do they think did it and what are they planning to bomb? This is not only a stupid idea but a dangerous one. Bombs away to get ahead in an election poll....hmmm think I’ve seen this movie already..
Why don't they just ask the Libya government....they know what group did this....O’ wait that might be considered to be offensive...
This whole annoumment is a trial ballon ....
