Obama wants to divert attention away from Iran, so that they can complete their mission.

Wag the Dog or not, how will Obama, Hilary, Carney and the rest of the liberals explain this saying Muslims are peace loving and they are not anti-US?
To: barryobi
When will the drones begin firing on the terrorists?

Amazing how quiet my Dem cube mates have been the last few days.

Are Libyan military allowing these militants to fire military style weapons without firing on the militants or are they supporting them? Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm
To: Blue Highway
These militants ARE the Libyan military now. That’s the problem.

No way this is an attack on the United States, Obama says so.

I wonder if Obama still has his tee time scheduled to play rounds of golf while American interests are being attacked on an hourly basis now?
To: barryobi
Why would a drone fly so low?
Something doesn’t smell right.

"Militants used anti-aircraft guns to fire at the drones, forcing the authorities to shut the airport because they feared for the safety of passenger planes."
"If it flies, SHOOT IT!" is the motto of most (undisciplined) 3rd world AA gunners.
In Tanzania they fired on two police helicopters with "POLICI" written on the side in letters a foot high.
The same crews fired on me while flying a Bell JetRanger in Uganda. My clearance was on the airport manager's desk. He had forgotten to tell the gunners that I was OK.
Getting out of there I melted my first stage stator vanes in the hot section of my engine. (hey, I'll melt engines all day long getting away from a ZSU-23-2 100-150 yards away!)

It is very thoughtful and considerate of the Jihadi savages to reveal their positions so that we can perform accurate targeting.

Too bad we don’t have an AC-130 “Puff the Magic Dragon” Drone... that would be worth the admission to watch.

I have been thinking the same thing for a couple of days.
And my fellow Americans living in the U.S.A. will sit back on their a$$e$ and whine doing nothing about it as usual.

"... headed by a former US prisoner at Guantanamo Bay."
Is he one of Barry's releasees?
