I can not believe that this adminstration took this risk at this time, opening up, yet, another scandal. Is Obama being blackmailed by terrorists that know who he really is or maybe his involvement in Benghazi? This is sheer lunacy, six months before the mid terms and the Dems already over their heads in defending him.
That sounds tinfoil hat bat s--t crazy. However, I have believed this for a long time. Why in the hell have we have not killed and or captured those guys that attacked us in Benghazi????? The media has done interviews with one of the leaders. We know where they are! Obama is afraid of these guys for some reason. Blackmail?? I think yes.
This is the conundrum of Obama: is he an idiot or is he an evil genius? I suspect he thought this would be a feel-good story and it, yet again, blew up in his face. Is he so stupid as not to notice that Daddy Jihad would give most Americans the creeps? That a little Jihadi lingo would not go over in the Rose Garden? It would be funny if not so frightening.
The mainstream press will bury it or try; Obama knows that the Congress - no matter who controls it - will do nothing; the military brass are too cowed to do anything. Really - there are only a few voices and those are shouted down and marginilized. Obama has nothing to fear. He is not incompetent or stupid or naive. He knows exactly what he is doing and so far it is smooth sailing for him.
I know what you're saying. They have badly calculated the downside. I do not think they saw the men who were on the ground coming forward. I have had CNN on all morning and they are hitting it hard.
