Anonymous reports coming out of the Middle East indicate President Obama may be planning military action to take place in the days before the U.S. presidential election. Certain individuals currently deployed in various U.S. land, sea, and/or air missions in the Middle East are indicating they've heard about possibilities that could take place one to two days before the election: perhaps against Iran, perhaps elsewhere in the Middle East. These individuals have no idea what might be coming, but some of them indicate receiving upgraded clearances and travel documents that will allow them to move more easily between countries should something big take place in the region. When Gov. Romney began threatening to overtake Obama in the polls two weeks ago, various commentators wondered aloud whether Obama would use a military strike to try to show his toughness and bolster his numbers. And when Gallup showed a consistent 6-point lead for Romney last week, callers asked Rush Limbaugh if he thought such an attack-for-votes scheme were actually possible?

>> Max benefit would be Nov 1 to 3
For who?
It would likely be Libya.
> The way to stop this is to loudly predict it....
The next Full Moon...
Bump.
And the price of gasoline would shoot straight up overnight if hostilities broke out. Not exactly the best thing to get voters to vote for you.
Mitt could offer some preemptive leverage by citing 'war mongering' 0bama's bombing of Libya without Congressional approval. Mitt could say, "What gives you a right to war on other countries without any input from our Congress? You did that in Libya and what did we get out of it?.. Four dead Americans."
Romney needs to remind Americans during the debate that the POTUS must not engage in any wars without approval from Congress!
He hates Israel. More likely taking out Israel’s ability to defend itself than any action in Iran.
He can’t just do this stuff by himself. Really?
I would think it would have the opposite affect and turn off more people to his power grab than not.
What if he orchestrated something in the US his friends would be happy to oblige. Obama is evil he would do anything to anyone to get what he wants.
No way they do this. The voters are not stupid enough to accept any military action a week before the election as being anything but an act of desparation. It’s not like there’s a bin Laden out there that everyone wants dead. We don’t even know who was behind Benghazi and now that the claim is that the attack was NOT preplanned it would be hard to blame someone for planning it. As for Iran, think back to Desert Storm. As good as we were, Hussein was still able to pump scuds into Israel and Saudi. A one or two day raid into Iran will accomplish nothing except getting a lot of people killed and getting oil to skyrocket. This aint happening!
Barry, I’m going to vote your ass out of office no matter what you do, you maggot.
Because the Mercun Peepul as a rule are STUPID!
“It would likely be Libya.”
Kill Qaddafi again? There’s no identifiable target there.
If Obama does such a stupid thing, it will backfire horribly. The American people will see Obama sacrificing American lives to get votes and vote overwhelmingly for Romney/Ryan. Any other ideas Axe? Where's your October surprise? See you on November 6th!
An attack on Israel is not out of the question with 0. I can’t see him turning on his ‘brothers’, even for another four-year payoff.
Israel will not be destroyed, of course, but woe to those responsible for such a foolish act.
Too obvious, if it isn’t an absolute success, it would cause a backdraft with no time to correct, they are much more nefarious than that..
...40% of the votes are cast before election day.
Key [point. It makes a "wag the dog" stunt not worth doing...
