White House confirms Obama ordered African raids
Wahington Times ^ | 10/7/13 | Dave Boyer

President Obama ordered the weekend raids that captured a top al Qaeda operative in Libya and failed to capture a senior leader of the al-Shabab terrorist network in Somalia, the White House said Monday. Presidential press secretary Jay Carney said the Libya raid, in which U.S. agents seized Abu Anas al-Libi, were carried out under authorization granted by Congress in 2001. It was a “rendition” of the kind that Mr. Obama railed against when he was a candidate for president. “This operation was made possible by the superb work and coordination across our national security agencies and the intelligence

The SEALs narrowly avoid another Obama meat grinder.

Or

Maybe they're wise to his traps now. At least this time.

Maybe he’s trying to look tough on the world scene while he stonewalls the House.

Or, maybe somebody in Saudi Arabia is angry at Al-Shebaab and asked for a favor.

With this guy, you never know the real story.

Who in the White Hut released the intel LEAK?

Who in the White Hut directs the continuing coverup
of Fast&Furious, the NSA and IRS Atrocities,
the Benghazi MANPAD xfer, and the Boston Atrocity?

America will find out ONLY from the foreign press
because the American MSM is TOTALLY CONTROLLED by Obama.

Jarrett decided they needed a distraction from the polls on blaming him for not wanting to talk to the GOP but talking to Russia and Iran. O doesn’t do a dang thing. Except play golf. And campaign.

THIS one he did order, yep.

Right after he called up his buddies and gave them all the operational details.

The key for Obama is to skate along a political razor’s edge —gotta be seen as DOING SOMETHING, but have those efforts also be UNPRODUCTIVE.

See? It’s a scam.

The Captain Phillips thang —the SEAL rescue off of Somalia that actually succeeded in a rescue and killed the nappy-headed enemy?

Kay, that was NOT ordered by GayMuzzie —nope. The on-scene SEAL commander got sick of the PastelLovingOne frittering away time and opportunieis and simply told his guys to WASTE ‘EM.

But when GayMuzzie DOES give the order, well, you can be sure they’ll roll snake eyes and come up with nothing, or it will transmogrify into a huge goat *uck in no time.

Ditto for post Bengazi missions (gear stolen).

I immediately figured Bammy was distracting us again......especially when I heard the SEALs had been watching the guy for a year while he moved about freely, no bodyguards, etc. I knew really it when I heard Lyin’ Jay Carney protest that the mission had been authorized for a while and the SEALs do things in their own time........methinks he doth protest tooooo much. And about a lot of things........

to the liberal mind, a special forces mission is the equivalent of using the military without really using the military. it’s socially acceptable at liberal cocktail parties.

even if you lose the whole team, the casualty list is “manageable”.

Wouldn't he be surprised if a squad of Marines dragged his ass out of the White House following his impeachment.

Special Forces is the US Army unit that wears the Green Beret.

It looks like the left has decided to just take their name and call everyone Special Forces, that could get awkward when they want to discuss the actual Special Forces.

It will be like an article I saw in the San Diego Union when they were writing about actual Assault Rifles in an article, after years of calling everything “assault rifles”

We should be glad that The W0n didn’t use the Seals domestically, yet.
