Embassy Closings...
So, you guys think this is the result of good intel or just an overreaction based on what happened in Benghazi? Either way, maybe we learned from Benghazi so hopefully this move saves lives.

Benghazi? Haven't you heard the HMFWIC has declared Benghazi a phony scandal. When his TelePrompter tells him what to say he can't be wrong.

We are being manipulated so we will freely give away our privacy. President Obama (Black Bush) learned well. The saber rattling and elevated terror threat levels beg the question. CHANGE?

Which is why I think this is a CYA issue for the administration. It may be the smart move based on intel, but probably more of a "Another Benghazi would be bad for business" type thing.

Not sure if you're serious with this, but I think it's potentially more accurate than you think.

Having said that I would rather them close them and not need to then not close them when they should have.

What concerns me is the leak about how we were listening to calls between AQ leaders in Pakistan and Yemen. That's a huge leak that never should have occurred. It only hurts us.

How very libertarian of you.

You really don't expect Hillary to reel in the NSA, do you?

I agree on the leak. Wonder if it was "leaked" to make folks aware the NSA techniques are actually productive?

I don't expect anyone to relinquish power (and certainly not Mrs. Clinton)

You're asking a question that none of us has any capability to answer correctly. It's like Feynman's example of surveying the kingdom asking how long is the emporer's nose.

I just think that it's amazing that only 11 months ago Al-Qaeda was "on the run" and "on their heels" but today we are hiding from them. Maybe they, Al-Qaeda, was just afraid of the re-election campaign. I know I was!

It could be a reaction to Obama's "on the run" and "on their heels" statements. "OBL is dead, GM is alive". might have fanned the flames of Al-Qaeda. I'm sure at the least it was used as a recruitment tool.

Staining Obama's hands with more blood.

Nope. I expect them to watch tea baggers like you closely. One misstep and bam, you are in the Homeland Security concentration camps! 05-stirthepot

Supposedly AQAP has developed a process that turns clothes into a Bomb and it's undetectable at checkpoints.

Oh, NSA guys, this is just a little joke based on all the tea bagging morons on this board continually calling me a terrorist.
