Israeli officials who were placed at risk by the Obama administration’s leaks about the Stuxnet virus are disputing American claims that the cyber-weapon was jointly developed by the U.S. and Israel. Rather, they say, Israeli intelligence first started developing cyberspace warfare against Iran, only convincing the U.S.–with some difficulty–to join in. The Israelis allege that President Barack Obama claimed credit for Stuxnet to boost his re-election campaign.
…
The Obama administration’s pattern of leaks to mainstream media outlets–of which the Stuxnet virus is only one example–prompted bipartisan outrage from Congress and the appointment of two special prosecutors. While the leaks jeopardized U.S. national security–allegedly for the political purpose of burnishing President Obama’s image as commander-in-chief–they may also have been exaggerated, if the new reports from Israel are accurate.

I”m having trouble deciding which is more despicable in a president,
being fast and loose with national security or
being a totally dishonest, lying, self-promoting sack of sh*t 24/7.
Looks like National Security Advisor Tom Donilon is the designated fall guy,
but he’s too important to throw under the bus.
Besides, he’s probably been counseled, so nothing will change.

Uhbama does both, so feel free to hate him all the time.
I do.
Might want to add:
being the biggest fucking foreign relations disaster with America’s close allies ever
I am dying to see what turns up in the leak investigation, although I suspect this will be a case of the foxes investigating who pillaged the henhouse. Let’s hope for some *really* aggressive congressional hearings –> pre-election if at all possible. I think the entire nation needs to know what a complete sack of shit the First Weasel and the den of little weasels he brought with him really are.
By the way, were’s even a tenth the outrage in the press that characterized the Valerie Plame tempest-in-a-teapot?
SCOAMF Choom.
What does it take to piss off John McCain? Whatever it is, Obama has it in Hearts.
^ Too bad he didn’t find it in the last election.
In hearts???
Don’t you mean in SPADES.
I’m frustrated that, while the Prez’s job approval ratings are in the toilet, his personal approval ratings are still north of 50%. This guy has repeatedly shown himself to be an extremely self-absorbed “legend in his own mind” who surrounds himself with fawning, incompetent yes-men (and women). He has the temerity to make bold-faced false assertions – “the private sector is doing just fine” and “spending under my administration has increased the least of any other administration in the past 30 years”. I think that the reason that he’s still held in high regard by nearly half this nation is that many of these people still believe in that “hopey-changey” something-for-nothing, “I want my free sh!t” bullcrap that he and his administration are still spewing.
Leak investigation by the DoJ???????? Come on we’re going to find out what??????????? where????? when????? who???? ya right. Ask the fox who ate the hens in the hen house. Not from HIS White House???? Hope and Change / Leaks and Lies how about that instead of Forward-s–
It’s two, TWO, two dinks in one!”
More disgraceful news:
Israel skips counterterrorism meeting
“The Israeli business daily Globes reported Monday that Israel was not invited to the [US-sponsored] meeting because of objections by Turkey, while Israel’s Foreign Ministry told the Times of Israel that it is “not estranged” from the forum.”
. . . .
“In May, Turkey blocked Israel’s participation in the NATO summit in Chicago.”
Obama, of course, has no clue about how important Israel is in that part of the world.
Obama, of course, has no clue
about how important Israel is in that part of the world.at all.“Clues? I don’t have to show you any stinkin’ clues!!”

Doug, Obama is so bad he violated the laws of grammar and logic.
It is possible for him to be more despicable on security than for being a lying sack of shit and vice-versa at the same time.
