October Surprise: Obama Plans Major Airstrike on Libyan Targets
Breitbart ^ | 10/3/12 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 10/03/2012 4:25:46 PM PDT by Evil Slayer

Today, a Defense Department official confirmed to Breitbart News that there is advance planning for a “substantial air package” against targets in Libya. Military sources suggest that this means that flight missions against Libyan targets will include manned flights, not merely drones.

The New York Times reported yesterday that the Obama administration is preparing an operation to “kill or capture militants” involved in the Benghazi attack resulting in the murder of our ambassador to Libya and three other Americans. According to the Times, the Joint Special Operations Command is putting together “so-called target packages of detailed information about the suspects.” These files are a coordinated project with the CIA and the Pentagon.

The Obama administration is under heavy scrutiny for its failure to protect the US consulate in Benghazi, and for its lack of security around the ambassador. Furthermore, the Obama administration is increasingly perceived as weak on terror, particularly in the aftermath of the Arab Spring, which has largely been hijacked by the well-organized Muslim Brotherhood. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to testify next Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee on the lack of security for the ambassador.

America is Obama’s plaything. Take it away from him. Otherwise, he’ll just grow tired of it and treat it worse than he already has.

I’m sure our enemies appreciate the advance warning. Maybe Spielberg will stage a mock attack for Zero.

Could the Benghazi attack have been a false flag (black flag) event? Why wasn’t the consulate protected better?

Needs to be done.

It will be seen as election grandstanding if he does it but it still needs to be done. If he fails to get the baddies that will rightfully be laid at O and Hillary’s feet. Its already an issue, rightfully so, that the ambassador was sent to his death without security, and its an issue that we were supporting the people who ultimately murdered him.

Leaving his murder unanswered is unthinkable election or no.

November can’t come soon enough for me.

How about they just secure the classified documents at the consultate instead of shooting a missile into a desert tent?

And also, we have broken intelligence gathering. Remember this event was termed a catastrophic intelligence loss.

Al Quaida did that already. We're waiting for their invoice for services rendered.

Can’t we just bomb Qaddaffi’s grave?

So what will this accomplish? Reminds me of Clinton’s salvo of cruise that destroyed an African aspirin factory and blew up some empty al Quiada tents in Afghanistan used as a distraction from his Monica affair.

That’s right. Lets start another war to take our minds off the economy and all that.

Don't be surprised when you hear that the bombs 'missed' their target and accidently killed people of a Christian community.

I saw the article that says FBI is still in Tripoli trying to get permission to go to Benghazi.

Just makes my hair hurt. Like I say, November can't come soon enough.
