Obama State Dept. Official: ‘This One-Off Action Can Have Unbelievably Horrific Consequences’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SHERMAN: “Well, I wish I knew what all the now what’s were. I quite agree with what they’ve said. There will be terrible, terrible reprisals. They will likely happen in the Middle East, but they could happen really anywhere in the world, and as both of these journalists have pointed out, we have people all over the world that could become targets. And of course our military and Iraq are targets. Our embassy in Baghdad is target. Lebanon is a likely place to be targeted. In a situation like this, Lawrence, what usually happens is if there’s a small group in the White House with all of the Pentagon, the intelligence community, the State Department meeting very quietly, they send out a classified note or briefing to key embassies to have a regional security meeting, to get ready to figure out how they’re going to defend themselves, whether there are authorized departures so families can leave embassies.”
