Now that the Obama administration has belatedly admitted that the sacking of our consulate in Benghazi was a terrorist attack — and not, as they claimed for nearly two weeks, a particularly lively movie review — now what? The New York Times reports this morning that the US has begun preparing for a military attack on the “militants” involved in the terrorist attack, but that may run into some complications:
The United States is laying the groundwork for operations to kill or capture militants implicated in the deadly attack on a diplomatic mission in Libya, senior military and counterterrorism officials said Tuesday, as the weak Libyan government appears unable to arrest or even question fighters involved in the assault.
The top-secret Joint Special Operations Command is compiling so-called target packages of detailed information about the suspects, the officials said. Working with the Pentagon and the C.I.A., the command is preparing the dossiers as the first step in anticipation of possible orders from President Obama to take action against those determined to have played a role in the attack on a diplomatic mission in the eastern city of Benghazi that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three colleagues three weeks ago.
Let’s pause for a moment here. If this is so “top-secret,” then how can the NYT be reporting on it?
Simple: the administration is leaking this in the desperate attempt to look like they’re back on top of this situation. The Obama administration has discovered what happens when the White House lies, and lies badly, about terrorist attacks and their preparation for those attempts, and now they want to undo some of the damage by looking tough.

For the same reasons that the NYT's reports on anything...

On the 12th of September at 10:35 AM, the morning after the attacks President Obama stated, "...make no mistake about it, justice will be done." and dispatched 2 destroyers and a unit of Marines. Based upon Obama's record of letting the military do his talking you and the rest of the Republican talking heads are just that, talking heads.

LOL.......it's been THREE WEEKS now and the FBI still haven't gotten within 400 miles of our Consulate!!
How long did it take Bush to kill bin Laden?? Oh, never mind.
Bwahahahahaha......that;s the Liberal's weak deflection line.
Thanks so much for the laugh!!
PS: Had Obama gotten HIS way, the intelligence that made killing Bin Laden possible never would have been obtained. And I'm going to applaud Obama for merely making a NO-BRAINER decision that ANYONE in America would have made?
None of Obama's people have gotten closer than 400 miles.
None? How would you know who has, and who has not been there?
