Summary

Administration officials say the White House has put special operations strike forces on standby and moved drones into the skies above Africa, ready to hit militant targets from Libya to Mali, if U.S. investigators can find the al-Qaida-linked group responsible for the death of the U.S. ambassador in Libya.

So is the Obama Administration announcing this news to impress the American voters or to warn the terrorists? Either which way is wasn't very smart.

It sort of reminds me of that old saying...the one about latching the gate AFTER the horses got out.
Why is it that the most recent October surprises aren't surprising?

"if investigators can find the al-Qaida-linked group responsible" Isn't all al-Qaida groups terrorists attacking innocent people. Shouldn't the administration just target all al-Qaida groups.

Thanks Obama, turn the More..
