WaPo: Obama admin considered attacking AQ in north Africa before Benghazi attack « Hot Air: "This curious story comes from unnamed US officials to the Washington Post, but it’s difficult to understand who’s leaking it and why.  The story itself — that the Obama administration considered launching attacks against al-Qaeda in north Africa — may be intended to shore up Barack Obama’s standing on terrorism and national security, which has taken body blows since the 9/11 anniversary attack in Benghazi that killed four Americans, including the first US Ambassador murdered in the line of duty since 1979.  However, the acknowledgment that the White House knew of the terrorist danger growing in north Africa raises even more questions about Benghazi."
