1. Make that "allegedly tied"

That's all we know.

2. I question the wisdom behind "leaking" this type of information to the press.......

However, the eradication of those who were responsible for the attack would certainly seem to seal the fate of the election, if it were to be conducted before Nov. 6th.

I like to think of it as the "real October surprise". Imagine how it would glare in the face of the R man accusing President Obama of picking his nose during security briefings (his edition of "The October Surprise&quot .

Upon edit for syntax.

3. This is either crap or an intentional leak designed to cause some other effect.

Cause I can't believe we would be that stupid to broadcast an attack ahead of time otherwise.

4. Spot On! Just think about how those responsible for risking their lives......

....in this risky endeavor would feel if they knew that their president, who they are serving, was selling their lives down the river for a cheap shot at a political gain.

I also wonder about the "integrity" (and I use the term loosely) of the "journalists" who would sprint to be the first to publish news of this risky operation. Could they be needlessly killing our armed forces for the sake of a scoop?

I hope with all of my heart that the "leak" was intentional, and for some other purpose than to pump up the masses.
