LIBYA: THE REAL OCTOBER SURPRISE
http://www.theblaze.com/contributions/libya-t...-surprise/
Every presidential election cycle, Americans of all walks and political affiliations eagerly anticipate an “October surprise” — that one bombshell revelation made public roughly two weeks before voters head to the polling stations to cast their ballots — that will effectively tar and feather one candidate so thoroughly his or her chances at claiming the presidency become null and void.
Campaign strategists like David Axelrod have perfected the art of unearthing these “skeletons” on rival political candidates, and in some instances, even conjure them out of thin air for this very purpose. Case in point is attorney and Obama-supporter Gloria Allred’s newly acquired preoccupation with Mitt Romney as she scrambles furiously to uncover any shred of “evidence” that might prove his “unsavory character” right before the November election. While the Romney camp could follow suit and in turn start digging in the dirt to discredit Obama, it doesn’t need to.
It has Libya.
The attack on our diplomatic outpost in Benghazi that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens, two Navy SEALs and an additional civil servant dead has soured quickly from foreign policy debacle to an all-out scandal from which the president may not recover — nor should he. When viewed in its proper context, Allred’s October surprise, which rings more like something found in an episode of the Real House Wives of New Jersey, is an insult to the fallen Americans in Benghazi and their families.
The facts as they now stand reveal that not only did Obama know from day one that the Benghazi breach was an act of terror waged by pro-al Qaeda militants, but that he likely watched the carnage unfold via cameras fed live into the Situation Room from a predator drone hovering above the consulate at the time of the attack.
