A senior U.S. official tells CNN that U.S. unmanned surveillance drones are expected to begin flying over Benghazai and other locations in eastern Libya to look for jihadi encampments and targets that may be tied to the attack on U.S. State Department personnel. The proposal for use of drones is expected to be approved shortly by the Pentagon and the White House, CNN's Pentagon Correspondent Barbara Starr reported. The official said the plan is for U.S. surveillance drones to gather the intelligence and then hand it off to the Libyans to strike the targets.

You have to be kidding me. That's like handing video over to the Japanese of the December 7th attack on Pearl Harbor, and expecting them to carry out operations on their own military. Good grief! This is absurd. Instead, they'll likely collect a bunch of Libyan Christians for execution and we'll say "Job well done".

They need to send B-52’s loaded with thermonuclear bombs.

Start with Mecca and Medina, then Cairo, Benghazi, Damascus, Teheran, and Islamabad.

I guarantee you the problems from these animals would stop.

Leave it to the Obama regime to (bleep) up what could have been a good idea.

surveillance drones

Why? So we can have better shots of the next murder and body desacration?

Why are there not missles headed to extract some measure of justice on the crowd? Where is Hitlery, demanding the security team be turned over for trial after giving our staff to the rioters?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE AZZHOLES?????????????

Bingo. Benghazi should be converted to a GIANT Benihanna, ditto Tripoli.

And NO occupation, aid, apologies or explanations.

Blowing up a couple dozen Libyan nomads should be good for a five-point bump at least. /sarc/maybenot

Smells a lot like Clinton and the "baby milk factory".

Obama will strike some camps and talk tough (while attacking Romney on foreign policy).
