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?

...40% of the votes are cast before election day.
Key [point. It makes a "wag the dog" stunt not worth doing...
To put the new kinetic military action on the tube so all those terrorist Romney, RNC ads would not be seen by the voters.
Very true, I hadn’t thought of that.
See my Post #34.
This kinetic military action will be brought to you by the letter O and the number 17 trillion!
Any last minute military operation would be extremely high risk politically. They are always high risk for those engaged in them. Remember Carter’s mission to free the Iranian captives? That worked out really well. How many men and aircraft did we lose? O would have no recoup time if anything went awry.
The POTUS couldn’t possibly take military action against any country without first obtaining a UN Security Council resolution. This much was established during the GWB administration. There is no way Obama could obtain a UN Security Council resolution within two weeks. Unless, of course, Obama is not held to the same standard....
“Leftists would go bonkers.”
No they wouldn’t. They are only against bombs dropped by Republicans.
What makes you think the regime would be thinking of a joint operation with Israel? Just as likely to be a joint operation with some other country. Against Israel.
False Flag Incident.
What is; How Obama loses all states for $1,000?
Yes, the kind of war where we aren’t allowed to go in and win. I’m tired of sending men out to get killed with their hands tied. Just finish this nonsense or bring them home.
No, they'll find somebody tied to the recent terror attack and go after him/them.
You can’t nation build with a bunch of 7th century savages. There is no end, and there is no way to win aside from killing every muslim.
The name of this Wag the Dog get out the vote scam scandal is: Beghazigate ... because he’s not just asking for votes, he is begging for votes..
Kinetic military action ...
Romney already paid a compliment to Clinton over his missile strike after the embassy bombings in the 90's (for which he had no congressional approval).
I don't think he'd use that approach.
Consider the infamous terrorist attack on March 11 2004.
Coordinated bombings. Trains. Spain.
Spanish Elections on March 14 2004, 3 days later.
