3. Shucks, I thought Obama authorized the operation 2 years ago
Harry Wright ,   UK   (06.18.14)
Seems he just woke up from his 2 year slumber and realized he had to scrape the barrel to boost his faltering image, what with the up-coming mid-term elections. I wonder how much interest he got from that bank deposit now that he has withdrawn it for this rainy day.
4. Obama is in deep trouble, comes up with a supposed victory

Obama is embroiled in scandal after scandal. The latest are the VA, Taliban 5 and IRS Lois Lerner lost emails from Obama ordering her to deny Tea Party groups tax exempt status. America needs to get rid of him now and there is a way to do it. Focus on the Benghazi congressional select committee investigation. Obama inflames Sunni Muslims' bloodthirsty instincts like he did in Benghazi, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria, Mali, Yemen and now in Iraq. He wants to expand the Muslim Caliphate to encompass the entire world and he has to start with the first obstacle Israel. Obama is a danger to United States, Middle East Peace as well as the world at large. America needs to get rid of Obama the enemy from within now, before he does more damage domestically and to US allies and there is a way to do it. Notice how each time Congress comes close to uncovering the truth about Benghazi Obama creates a new scandal or a crisis to divert attention from it. (Today it is the abduction of Christian girls in Nigeria by his brothers, an issue that he avoided touching before)This on top of deliberately forbidding Patriot American witnesses to testify in Committee hearings. Together with his not too subtle fondness of radical Islam this creates the very likely possibility that he is not only a closet Muslim but that he also had a major hand in planning the assassination of Ambassador Stevens. The known facts are as follows: 1. For months before the horrible event took place Obama ignores all security warnings and threats to Americans' lives in Libya. 2. He orders Ambassador Stevens to go to Benghazi on the anniversary of 9/11. 3. He orders Ambassador Stevens to go to Benghazi with no meaningful security protection. 4. On the night of the attack he prevents a security unit from Tripoli to fly to Benghazi to try rescue Ambassador Stevens. 5. Most likely the CIA Special Forces in Benghazi in the separate compound were ordered by Obama to stand down too but they refused orders and rushed to help. This will be revealed when the witnesses will eventually testify. (They already testified to this effect.) 6. As this tragedy was unfolding in real time in the State Department, Department of Defense, CIA and the White House he did nothing that night to send the Airforce or marines to attempt attacking the Jihadis. 7. For weeks after the event Obama claimed that a poorly made and little known video was to blame for what happened when he clearly knew this to be a lie. In the UN speech two weeks later he stated "....there is no future for those who slander the prophet of Islam...." He said this to divert blame from Islam as the real reason for the attack. 8. The FBI did not arrive at the crime scene for weeks after the event when all evidence was destroyed and Obama did not pressure the Libyan government to let them get in immediately. 9. 15 of the witnesses interviewed by FBI in Benghazi were murdered there. Why wasn't their identity protected by FBI and if it was who divulged their names to the Islamists? Obama comes to mind. 10. To this day none of the masterminds or participants in the attack was arrested. This is an intentional act to avoid them spilling the beans under interrogation about Obama's involvement. Catching Abu Khatallah 2 years later after he has been seen in plain view every day in Benghazi doesn't pass muster. If there were to be a Muslim mole in the White House he would take exactly such steps to execute this kind of operation and cover his tracks afterwards. Congress needs to get on top of it and this will lead to an impeachment, trial in the Senate and swift execution for treason.
5. Nice going ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.18.14)
.... but why announce it at all? Every American abroad and even within the United States is now potentially at risk. Obama cannot run for re-election. There was no need to bolster his image in the eyes of the United States and, quite frankly, this wouldn't be enough to achieve that. He simply said "yes." He had nothing to do with effectuating the raid.
6. 4 not mine.

7. #6 That's obvious

You could never compose something that intelligent.
