Ripped from the headlines: #Obama attacks #Yemen over #Norway

Breaking: President Obama announced he has sent Predator Drone attacks against Yemen, Pakistan and Somalia, and threatened the same against Syria, due to "Muslim extremist terrorists" being behind the Norway attacks, per the "terrorism expert" Will McCants. Informed that McCants had been decisively refuted on this claim, Obama said, "You go to war with the army you have, including unknown knowns and unknown unknowns." He then promised to officially surrender to John Boehner and Eric Cantor in contrition.

Yes, the second sentence is a bit too snarky to be true, and the third one way too much so.

The first one? Let's say that Anders Breivik had not been immediately fingered as the Oslo/camp suspect, but that the "Muslim terrorist" claim floated out there without any fingering of an actual suspect.

How likely would Obama's first action be? I could seriously give it at least 10 percent probability.
