Obama's "National Security Leaks"
 

I can't help but be amused by the GOP and their Faux News lapdogs bitching and moaning about national security leaks by the administration. What were the leaks??? We were involved in drone attacks in Yemen and Stuxnet in Iran. Well no shit, Sherlock. :cool:

The world was acutely aware from the get-go that it was our drones blowing up assholes in the deserts of Yemen and the mountains of Pakistan and Kaspersky (the computer security firm in Russia), among others, pointed out the smoking guns in the Stuxnet code that pointed to us and Israel. Who else had the means and motive?:confused:

The real issue here is that Obama is getting credit for national security successes and the GOP feels that its turf is being trampled upon (somehow they view themselves as the party of national security, notwithstanding the debacles of the Dubya adminstration (9/11, Tora Bora, Iraq ...)). Then of course you have the Dubya administration leaking disinformation to Judith Miller of the NYTimes (who now works for Faux, as no one else would hire someone so easily duped) who writes an article that Cheney later that week cites as proof of Iraq's WMD program. Brilliant.:eek:

What a bunch of disingenuous, dishonest @ssholes.

..and the Robert Novak/Valerie Plame bs too.


What I don't understand finnbow, [begin sarcasm] is why a person would think that anyone who hates America as much as BHO would lift a finger to defend it. Clearly, any current national defense successes are the work of Republicans who manage to get a small inkling of power squeezed through the blockade against Patriotism that the So************************t machinery of the current administration is hell bent on, God bless them. [/end sarcasm]

Seriously though, Obama is the most Hawkish (and effective) Presidents in recent history when it comes to military operations, regardless of party.

No worries mate, Axelrod said they didn't come from the White House. So disingenuous dishonest assholes will have nowhere to hide.

I'm not sure how either of these things (drones, Stuxnet) could be characterized as leaks to begin with. Most sentient beings (this leaves out a significant portion of the GOP) knew full well who was behind these things.

Obama has been very aggresive prosecuting leaks when it suits him.

Pete

Or is it that he is prosecuting leaks that are actually leaks? Is it a leak if someone in the administration leaks that the sun rises in the east (e.g., we're killing terrorists with drones)?

He's been aggressive doing a lot of things when it suits him.

You shouldn't talk that way about DiFi:

See? That's the sort of infantile amygdaloid crap that underlies all of your posts and why it's really impossible to take you in the least bit seriously.

See? That just exemplifies that liberals have absolutely no sense of humor! :p
