You’re exactly right. Thank you.

Fast & Furious for the Second Amendment
Benghazi for the First Amendment

“Folks, more people are going to eventually go to jail for what happened at Benghazi than went to prison for Watergate.” That’s a real kneeslapper! Or it WOULD BE if it weren’t related to such a sorry situation, but mostly because it will never happen! Nobody on “R” side has the stones to make it happen......any more than anybody is going to the slammer for F & F! Congressional hearings? It just occurred to me today that CONGRESS is where atrocities, scandal cases and high crime investigations GO TO DIE!

What if instead of trading the blind shiek, Obama planned to send in a rescue team comprised of SEALS? He probably envisioned a night insertion via helicopter and a quick snatch and grab operation. After the relatively smooth Osama op, Obama figured nothing would go wrong.

“Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.”

Thank you for that, I was trying to remember just how that went.

The fact that we’re even discussing it as plausible is a pretty sickening reflection on Obama and his friends.

In the end, it sounds too far too me (possible though - I sense there is at least something beyond pure incompetence involved) but the main thing is - I wouldn’t put it past them - and that in itself says enough.

Would they do it if they could pull it off? This administration? In a second.

It’s always been part of Commie and Muslim code - all cult style codes where the individual is expendable - that if something furthers the great vision, it is by default not immoral - including all forms of immorality and trickery.

I bet that he would have made the deal secretly, then after his re-election delivery the Blind Sheik.

This is what JFK did with getting the Soviets to remove missiles from Cuba. Behind the scenes we agreed to remove missile from Turkey.

There are some facts that support something like this.

Sorry, this makes no sense. You don’t set such things in motion without control of all the acting parties. Anyone can understand that the odds of success are very low with the unknowns evident in this “plan”.

There may well be some dirty business going on, but this isn’t it. Perhaps a doublecross? And that’s why Obama looked like death at the debate. Maybe he thought he had control of all the actors. Maybe the wrong group showed up first?

Still, smart power is the likely problem here. They wanted a light footprint and trusted the govt too much, with results like those in Afghanistan. I can’t believe some generals in ‘Stan haven’t resigned in protest over the ROE and the killings of Americans by Afghan soldiers.

Yep, I’m going with ‘utter ideological stupidity followed by a coverup’ on this one. I’ll keep my eyes open though.

Watergate was nothing more than the theft of some campaign notes. THIS, what you are suggesting, is far, far more than that. Let’s just establish some givens: the breadth of the stupidity of such a plan is not beyond this administration; That they would have to depend on the actions of a gaggle of 7th century retards and HOPE they got it right is, also, not beyond this bunch; that they would engage in such a wide-reaching cover-up, aided and abetted by a complicit press, is absolutely believable. Still and all, this is very hard to believe that even THEY could do such a thing.

I agree, more than you could ever know, that Obama and this administration is evil from east to west. But this is something I just cannot believe.

It would give this more credibility if they also staged it to look like he was going to save the life of a high ranking Gay person from sure terror and from Homophobes by making it look like he’s the gay protector from Homophobes ...... no, wait, they did have a gay person in harms way and did nothing to help him.

Let me see if I get this, because I missed it before:

They posted an openly gay man to be Ambassador to Libya?

Why don’t we replace him with Porky Pig? Adam Sandler? Alan Dershowitz?

How about RuPaul? He’s looking for a job right?

Elton John? He, his partner, and his small boy can go and live in the Arab Springtime.

“Springtime for Hitler, and Germany!”

That would explain why from reports that he was not acting right, acting paranoid, and the reports that the government didn’t know where he was at for a few hours.

Only, Obama’s plan was to negotiate their quick released by trading the “Blind Sheik” from the 1993 World Trade Center bombings for any Americans taken hostage on 9/11/2001. The plan was to make Obama look like “a badass” and a to have him revel in this through October and into the November election.

Totally loony conspiracy theory!

Too many ways for such a plan to go wrong. Even if everything worked as planned, he'd be a weak-kneed traitor for having sprung the Blind Sheik. And that would be the best outcome. Most of the possible outcomes would have Obama looking like the jackass he is, not a badass!

" I simply can’t bring myself to believe this. I disagree with Obama on every level, but I don’t think he would do something like this. "

The EPA using humans as guinea pigs in human experiments in a Auschwitz style gassing experiment in testing the effects of diesel smoke. ?

Think again.
