U.S. diplomatic secrets revealed
Politico ^ | 11/28/10 | GLENN THRUSH

Posted on 11/28/2010 12:25:21 PM PST by ColdOne

WikiLeaks has dropped a bombshell cache of US diplomatic cables, ripping the cloak off scores of secret deals – including clandestine North Korean support for Iran and the Obama administration’s failed attempt to remove nuclear material from Pakistan.

The disclosures – more than a quarter-million candid, back-channel cables that include brutal candid assessments of world leaders and previous undisclosed details of nuclear and antiterrorism activity – represent the most embarrassing and potentially damaging disclosure of American diplomatic material in decades.

And all Obama could do was beg that it not be released.

Now that’s Chicago street politics!

So now we know. The losers in our government proved themselves to be well losers. It is just sad they take so much of our money to enrich themselves at our expense.

It’s fairly certain these leaks are causing the deaths of our operatives so I don’t see the problem with dealing with this as we would any other act of war.

A real president (Ike, LBJ, Nixon, Reagan, Truman) would’ve “eliminated” this problem in it’s crib. The fact that this guy hasn’t tells me he wants it to weaken the United States and is secretly happy about it, if not complicit.

It's just fine.

All we need is a few more dollars printed, a bit more respect shown overseas, an electric moped with air conditioning, higher definition scanners in the airports, and a wider throne in the White House for the first lady.

We see definite improvement nationally.

If the White House's motive were to protect America against all enemies, they would have dealt with this very quickly quite some time ago. But we have a sitting President that shares the goals of our enemies. The deaths of our operatives are looked upon with favor by this regime.

Hold on for a tick.

The DHS had no problem shutting down movie and porno sharing websites. They did this going entirely outside the rule of law, without due process. They did 70+ websites in 72 hours.

But somehow, this ONE website, they JUST COULDN'T DO A THING ABOUT.

Whatever.
