MSNBC just reported that there is some reason to believe that this whole Libya affair was

a coordinated effort. No details yet but the reporter was quoting a source of information (can't remember the guys name). Anyway, I think that this does stink on many levels.

Romney talking out of his ass this morning would have had us in war by midmorning should he have been in the WH.

It's not just a date here...

Abroad, the bbc and other media have suggested the usual suspects.

The us is taking longer.

agree. and Netanyahu coming out with his statement and mofaz statement with him. (this was more of a tie in until we found out the producer may not be real)

Along the lines of Reagan/Republicans dealing with the Ayatollah to influence the 1980 election?

can't pin down the attack exactly local time--if so, that is a compelling fact to add to the Al Q theory.

What protesting mob shows up with guns and RPGs? I think the actual attackers were al Qaeda or similar group. They either incited the mob as a diversion, or took advantage of it on short notice to carry out an already planned attack. Thus, there likely is two groups involved, possibly a third who coordinated the two?

for this. And this time, when they catch them, they should start the prosecutions that are so long overdue.

Who is this guy who appears to not exist now? That is where the investigation should begin. Find out who he is first, then who he is connected to.

past history on how far they are willing to go to get what they want, nothing would be a shock at this point. The timing, right before the election, is definitely suspicious. First thing we need to know is the identity of the instigator of all of this.

..would he?

But it is a possibility that a remnant of al Qaeda or allies of Khadafy or another leader in the Middle East might be behind such an attack? Syria might stand to gain if attention could be focused elsewhere besides their corrupt regime?

However, they may have miscalculated. If the President would dare to send troops into Pakistan to take out Bin Laden, he would not hesitate to go into Libya. My guess is that there are some very tight assholes in Libya right now. They will not sleep well tonight.

a phone call with that individual. I just didn't track on the name.

As for "propaganda," I'm sure if you flip over to Fox that you will find the "news" you are looking for.
