A Superpower's View of the World (Liberals Open Pandora's Box)
Der Spiegel ^ | 11/29/10 | SPIEGEL Staff

Posted on 11/29/2010 9:12:28 AM PST by Typical_Whitey

251,000 State Department documents, many of them secret embassy reports from around the world, show how the US seeks to safeguard its influence around the world. It is nothing short of a political meltdown for US foreign policy.

“The funny thing is, to hear these dimmocrat foreign policy wonks talk in private, you’d think they were Republicans!”

They are just as much in the business of selling an appeasing side, in public, to foreigners - while they believe something else in private, as they are selling themselves to the domestic masses yearning for a new entitlement, while they insure the legislation for it greases enough of their own business, sectarian and political interests. The Dims are two faced in all they do because it’s all about power while they pretend its about selfless “public service”.

I wonder how many deals with foreigners for Billary will be scuttled by the leaks (Billary - the corrupt dynamic duo that peddles themselves - for some kind of compensation, now or later - as a single geopolitical influence selling enterprise).

I read somewhere on the internet earlier today or was it sunday, that Wikileaks consulted with THEWHITEHOUSE and OBAMA encouraged them not to release some records and yetWikkileaks released some records that Odumbo did not want leaked. ODUMBO is the source of all the leaks - it is part of his plan

It might not be the same guy, but I think you’re on the right track.

I worked for the airlines prior to 9/11 (retired now).

The guys who worked for the onboard kitchens didn’t speak English...the cleaners were also foreign...we had our suitcases and handbooks stolen from a “secured” area for months/years prior to 9/11.

Stolen items included our handbooks which contained layouts of planes, codes for every “secured” door in every city throughout the world, information where the cockpit keys were kept on every plane...

Made me sick to realize how easy it was to pull off the 9/11 attack after years of their planning..

And here the Netherlands employed a radical Muslim to work with defense information.

What is everyone thinking? ARGH!

That new diplomacy (Obama/Hillary Clinton) soft power isn’t working out so they thought they would kick-start the re-set button since they have failed so miserably. By releasing the documents, this administration hopes to show the world how bad America is, and by the token show how noble this administration has been. Go figure, a win-win for those who hate America and they can enhance their political standing at the expense of their political opposition, e.g., the military and conservatives.

Sandy “pants and socks” Berger, for one. But somehow I don’t think it was him. And admittedly 250k is a big number to carry in your underwear.

Der Speigel sez Wikileaks
"show how the US seeks to safeguard its influence around the world"
which is a little spin-doctor-y way of saying, hey lib jackoffs, how's it feel to be on the receiving end? And this wasn't a hijacking / mass murder one-two-three-four punch, just a little look inside the hand of cards. Own petard kind of thing. Thanks Seadog Bytes! Glad you have emerged from hibernation. ;')

Seems to me that others, such as Gates, should be held accountable for this as well.

Can’t prove it, but my gut feeling is that 0bama did this, like Clinton declassified all the nuke bomb secrets. Somehow someone way up in the power tree thinks this is a good idea.

Yep, it smells like another layaway payment on that Nobel Peace Prize to me.

Bradley Manning was recruted by George Soros.

This was planned years in advance.
