Country Singer sends us a link to Ace Of Spades<\/a> in which Ace speculates about an “October Surprise” in time for the election.<\/p>\n

Obama really wants you to know he’s prepared — nay, eager — to make another Gutsy Call (TM)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The White House has put special operations strike forces on standby and moved drones into the skies above Africa, ready to strike militant targets from Libya to Mali \u2014 if investigators can find the Al Qaeda-linked group responsible for the death of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Libya. … <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, I don’t think that they need to have connections to the September 11th attack, they only need to be scruffy-looking Libyans. I find it disconcerting that the Obama Administration, while denying that they’re releasing classified information, release more of what should be classified information as long as it looks like their guy is guy is engaged in national security operations.<\/p>\n

Details on the administration’s position and on its search for a possible target were provided by three current and one former administration official, as well as an analyst who was approached by the White House for help. All four spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the high-level debates publicly.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, but that’s OK at this Justice Department, I suppose. Weren’t we told recently that they were tracking down previous leaks? Did they hire OJ Simpson to find the leakers while he’s looking for Nichole’s killer?<\/p>\n

“They are aiming for a small pop, a flash in the pan, so as to be able to say, ‘Hey, we’re doing something about it,'” said retired Air Force Lt. Col. Rudy Attalah, the former Africa counterterrorism director for the Department of Defense under President George W. Bush.<\/p>\n

Attalah noted that in 1998, after the embassy bombing in Nairobi, the Clinton administration fired cruise missiles to take out a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan that may have been producing chemical weapons for Al Qaeda.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, well, this decade’s weapon of choice is drones, cruise missiles are so passe, so 1990s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
