On the day that almost two dozen U.S. embassies and consulates across North Africa and the Middle East are closed following the identification of a significant threat from an al-Qaeda affiliate, a senior U.S. official is providing new details about the communications intercepted from the terrorists, telling ABC News that al-Qaeda operatives could be heard talking about an upcoming attack. The official described the terrorists as saying the planned attack is “going to be big” and “strategically significant.” “The part that is alarming is the confidence they showed while communicating and the air of certainty,” the official said, adding that the group — Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula — appeared to have a media plan for after the attack.

While “this hand is getting our attention”...what is the government’s “other hand doing?” (I think I smell a rat).

There may have been some “chatter” as they call it and might well be false flag by the enemy.

But I’m thinking they’re not Obama’s enemy, and this is just one big bullsh!t diversion from this administration.

So, we get this high level intelligence about a serious, strategic attack be Al Quida this weekend...and we announce it to the world?

These people (the Obama administration) are not interested in defeating the Jihadists. They are more interested in warning them and helping them avoid defeat.

Who Really is Barack Hussein Obama?

They work with the OMG to plan their events. Axelrod and Plouffe are their contacts.

Who? Obama has officially become George W Bush. At least the left’s caricature of him.

If the collaborators in the state controlled media are trumpeting it, I assume there is some “angle” to it. Even if something does happen, it’s probably coordinated in some way to suit their propaganda narrative.

I know- neither do I but I’m starting to think this is real.

Or they could be "wagging the dog".

there has been an unending flow of breathless stories from Jolie's mastectomy to Zimmerman to the 3 girls escaping their captor that have been crowding out all of the phony scandals Obama is trying to avoid.

I heard the intel came from an aspirin factory in Sudan. The chatter translated says something about “wagging the dog”

Sick to DEATH of this traitor that inhabits the people’s house putting every bit of intel we have out for public consumption. There is a reason things like this are supposed to be kept confidential. Grrrr - how people could reelect this traitor is beyond me.
