It is important to note that the time period reflected in the documents is January 2004 to December 2009. The war in Afghanistan was under-resourced for many years. ... On Dec. 1, 2009, President Obama announced a new strategy and new resources for Afghanistan and Pakistan precisely because of the grave situation.

So the period covered by the leaked documents coincides perfectly with Dear Leader's announcement of his new strategy in Afghanistan. It covers the Bush years plus Obama's first year. But it conveniently stops at the point when Obama announces the new strategy.

Shades of Daniel Ellsberg. This has already been done long ago. Hardly original. Treasonous? Sure. But the results will be the same. The leakers will be turned into modern day heroes of the revolution.

After reading this quote, I have to wonder what is really going on:

“The period of time covered in these documents (January 2004-December 2009) is before the President announced his new strategy. Some of the disconcerting things reported are exactly why the President ordered a three month policy review and a change in strategy.”

Ya know, I wonder if any of these publications have any loved ones in the military.

I wonder if they might change their ways if they got a call from an Officer at some Army fort asking if they have heard from their son....after an IED attack. Or a call from another Military guy in Washington D.C. asking about your kids contact information.

I've been through it.

These people make me sick. That's okay, They made me find FR!

I was just over at wikileaks browsing through the data and came across the CIA's log of enhanced interrogation techniques (EIT) briefings. I don't know if this was available publicly before, but anyhow...For all the caterwalling Pelosi was doing about torture, and how she didn't know (like we believed a word of that), the document shows that she was briefed on 9/4/02.

Treason!

Off with their heads!

....of course it will never happen!

I’d bet the farm the administration is in on this. But to what end? To change the subject or to set the stage for a withdrawal? (ie Getting us out of a royal mess Bush put us in.)

These are classified documents. Just wait until all of our medical records are in the hands of the government.

[dtrpscout]

Summary executions all around.

We need more parents of the military in the White House.

[PGalt]

BTTT!

How did they get them?

The Messiah needed an excuse to control the Internet. So he has created one.

Who is WikeLeaks and why do they have top secret documents?
Someone should be has criminal charges brought against the person(s) who provided the documents. As far as WikiLeaks and the media are concerned we could only hope one day they get what coming to them. They would sell their own children for a story. No honor or morals!

Of course we can expect the current Administration to BLAME BUSH. How could they be responsible for anything? Worthless bunch of Bast@@ds.

In a statement to Der Spiegel, Obama National Security Council spokesman Ben Rhodes blamed President George W. Bush:

Purely a reflex action for a liberal, like blinking.

Nazi Gestapo: 1 officer per 2000 citizens.
Soviet KGB: 1 agent per 583 citizens.
GDR Stasi: 1 agent per 166 citizens.
US National Security: 1 top secret clearance per 362 citizens.
We have learned nothing from history.

[Fresh Wind]

Why aren’t they leaking documents that originated after Obomba’s “new strategy” went into effect?

[Rockitz]

Rahm sees another opportunity to do something that he couldn’t otherwise do. Just watch- Zero will use this as an excuse to sieze control of the internet. I wouldn’t be surprised if the administration was behind the leak.
