| Forget October, Anonymous Sources Say November Surpise Working |
| 2012-10-22 |
| Anonymous reports coming out of the Middle East indicate President Obama may be planning military action to take place in the days before the U.S. presidential election. Certain individuals currently deployed in various U.S. land, sea, and/or air missions in the Middle East are indicating they've heard about possibilities that could take place one to two days before the election: perhaps against Iran, perhaps elsewhere in the Middle East. These individuals have no idea what might be coming, but some of them indicate receiving upgraded clearances and travel documents that will allow them to move more easily between countries should something big take place in the region. When Gov. Romney began threatening to overtake Obama in the polls two weeks ago, various commentators wondered aloud whether Obama would use a military strike to try to show his toughness and bolster his numbers. And when Gallup showed a consistent 6-point lead for Romney last week, callers asked Rush Limbaugh if he thought such an attack-for-votes scheme were actually possible? Limbaugh did not confirm or deny whether he thought such an attack were possible. Rather, he simply said such an attack would be seen for what it really was -- a desperate attempt to get votes. Some of our brave men and women in uniform in the Middle East not only believe such attack is possible, but that a November surprise is actually in the works. |

| #14 Ship - that's excellent! |

| #13 That is inspired. Sort of like the role Steve Martin played in the "Jerk"--the only white son of black sharecroppers. |

| #11 Shipman, you have a truly convoluted mind. ;-) |

| #10 It will be revealed that Obama was really born in Ohio of white coal mining parents who loved him dearly but could not afford to treat his very rare skin disorder. |

| #9 The Romney surge isn't, as it looks once again like Mittens is having great difficulties breaking out absolutely positively categorically undeniably ...@etc. decisively from the statistical MOE. Have serious doubts about that being the case. Most poll internals seem to have a larger, often significantly larger, Democrat turnout advantage than in '08 when Obama was "The One" running against a hapless McCain. |

| #8 Regarding #6. We'd all better pray this does not happen. |

| #7 Then again even if a righteous retaliation were to occur people would view it with great cynicism and seen by many if not all as a political ploy and work against the Won. |

| #6 My take is that there will be a January (non-)surprise, when 0bama and the Demoncrats buy into their own lies and refuse to yield the government to The Forces Of Evil in the face of an election-that-they-could-not-steal. |

| #5 I'm thinking scale here. A few missiles here, a drone zap there. It isn't enough. He'd have to launch something on the scale of Kosovo, and we'd see that coming. |

| #4 YAHOO NEWS > ROMNEY AND OBAMA NOW IN DEAD HEAT. The Romney surge isn't, as it looks once again like Mittens is having great difficulties breaking out absolutely positively categorically undeniably ...@etc. decisively from the statistical MOE. |

| #3 A full tilt military strike would alienate too much of B-HO's base. It would also require decision-making, something he is not known for. He might drone-zap a few guys, but that won't win him any points from anyone who wasn't already in the bag. Some nice opportunities for grand speechifying though. |

| #2 The problem I have with all this "strike" Libya, and/or Iran and the "Circle the Wagons" to rally around our President: In this anti-war feelings within our American populace now... I'm just not understanding this -- this is the same populace that is to rally around Obama because he lobs a few missiles, but yet, when we have an American Ambassador for the first time since 1979, and three other Americans murdered ... there is just no "Rally Around the Flag" coming out. |

| #1 I know many of the 'burgers here have speculated that teh 0ne would be feckless enough to order a strike just to get votes. Articles like this are not out of the realm of possibility for someone as morally bankrupt as Obama. |
