BOMBSHELL: Al-Qaeda Infiltrator was not CIA, Cover Blown for Election Year Politics
P.J. Tatler ^ | 5/15/2012 | Patrick Poole

Posted on 05/15/2012 9:36:45 AM PDT by wildbill

Just a week ago the establishment media was aflutter with news that a CIA double-agent had thwarted a new type of underwear bomb attack targeting U.S. flights in a plot devised by al-Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula.

But as the week progressed, a developing bombshell story got buried under President Obama’s gay marriage announcement. Not only is the supposed CIA asset not a CIA asset at all, but the entire operation was exposed prematurely and the double-agent’s life was immediately threatened by an intelligence leak that very well may have come out of the White House for political gain.

As the story broke, the establishment media was more than happy to attribute the intelligence coup to the CIA and the Obama administration, describing the mole as a “CIA informant.”

It turns out that wasn’t true. The double-agent hadn’t been recruited and placed by the CIA, but by British intelligence, who also managed the operation. In fact, the Americans had only recently been made aware of the joint British-Saudi effort.

Hey, come on - killing an important double-agent for the sake of a few days political gain is a variation on the Chicago Way. Too bad the MSM are such suck ups that they won't condemn him for it...

You know...maybe Obama wasn’t all that happy that the bomber was caught and decided to try to cut the chain of info (which must have happened) and score political points off it meanwhile. But maybe Obama thinks that with another attack he can say “don’t change horses in the middle of the stream” and get re-elected that way. Remember Bill Clinton wishing 911 had happened on his watch so Clinton could have reaped the glory from pulling us together?

Impossible for me to imagine that American lives matter more to Obama than his own election.

Aiding and abetting the enemy by revealing ally intelligence. I don't care if it was done for political purposes, ignorance is NOT a defense. Whoever did this needs to go down; even especially if it was Obama.

This is why other folks’ intelligence agencies won’t talk to us any more. They lose too many assets to “leaks.”

If the media actually reported accurately all the incompetent and disgustingly self-serving political crap that this President and this administration have done and continue to do, Obama would have a hard time winning Illinois let alone reelection. They never vetted him, have ignored a ton of disturbing inconsistencies and lies, and they are doing everything they can to prop this guy up. They are despicable.

The Fourth Estate is a Fifth Column.

Was surprised why everyone was happy to learn the most recent terrorist plot was gonna be carried out by a CIA agent. News like like might cause a man to drink. Kinda glad to see it turn out false.
