Another problemm with this theory is that after weeks of Team Zero trying to minimize Libya, it would become a huge issue to those voters who haven’t been paying attention. Any short-term benefit for Bambi would be offset by the sheer incompetence of having allowed AQ to kill Americans on 9/11/12.
That's it. By some combination of incompetence, dishonesty, laziness, and maybe darker motives, he created a foreign policy catastrophe and got people killed. Now he is more or less naked in the spotlight with nowhere to hide. Given any opening at all - either tonight or next week in the foreign policy debate - Romney will spell it out in realistic terms that everyone listening will understand. I don't see how Obama can fight it off.
