October Surprise? Nah. Just incompetence.

OBAMUNISM, The Party, October Surprise Gone Bad? “ Was the attack on Benghazi an "October Surprise" gone bad? Friday, October 19, 2012 11:09:15 AM · by Jeff Head JEFFHEAD.COM ^ | 19 October 2012 | Jeff Head This Free Republic post intrigued me.  What "October surprise" would have come with success?   Mr. JeffHead's article doesn't answer the question, nor seem even to attempt to.  Still, this observation seems to me quite valid. “ Could it be, that President Obama's slight and slap in the face Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu helped embolden these enemies? When the President of the United States indicates he does not have time for the Israeli Prime Minister who is facing an Iranian enemy who has promised to destroy Israel and is rapidly advancing in their aims to get nuclear weapons...when that allied prime Minister requests an audience with the president of the United States over these weighty matters Netanyahu is told that Obama does not have time for him? ” I'd say it's a near certainty.  What U.S. Presidents say, matter.  Or used to, anyway.  Remember how Saddam tried to feel out the Bush administration's stance on his conflict with Kuwait?  And US Ambassador April Glaspie conveyed the message to Saddam that the US 'had no opinion' on Iraq's future intentions with regard to Kuwait?  Saddam took that to mean he could invade Kuwait, willy-nilly.  You know the rest of that story. The only other "surprise" outcome I can think of requires the belief that Obama is the anti-Christ and was trying to trigger WWII by serving up Israel to Islamos. Ahem. ”
