White House gave Kathryn Bigelow access to SEAL Team 6 commander, CIA 'vault'
Entertainment Weekly ^ | 5/23/12 | Hillary Busis

Posted on 05/23/2012 10:46:02 AM PDT by Nachum

In January, the Pentagon began investigating whether the White House had shared classified information with Kathryn Bigelow, director of an upcoming film about the search for Osama bin Laden. Now, conservative watchdog organization Judicial Watch has obtained records that reveal President Obama’s Defense Department did provide Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal access to high-level information and resources — including a “planner, Operator and Commander” of the Navy SEAL team that successfully captured and killed bin Laden last year. A Department of Defense meeting

so the movie is scheduled for December. Nice. after the election. Not free advertising for his campaign.
Oh wait. One second. They will advertise the movie? On the air? On the internet? scenes showing the amazing stress Obama was under? So people will see clips before they vote?
Damn. Just damn.

Doesn’t affect my decision to not vote for Romney and Obama.

Clinton’s people let the Chicoms have some missile guidance and nuclear secrets that were damaging. Clinton was eventually impeached and we are still here.

I want Romney to lose because we can fight Obama and bring impeachment against him. We can’t so easily fight a democrat in republican clothing RINO who took over our party.

I want Romney to lose and the GOPe eradicated. I want the TP numbers in the house to increase and elect a Speaker that is one of them.

I want the GOP to take the Senate with the GOP-TP in control.

I want Sheriff Joe to bring a full court press of heroic prosecution against Obama and DNC leading to Obama’s impeachment AND CONVICTION in the Senate or to Obama’s resignation.

I want there to be a constitutional crisis as to the question of whether Biden or the TP Speaker should be sworn in as President until a special election is held in 2014.

I want the TP Speaker to be President.

No way will conservatives settle for Romney no matter the scare tactics and propaganda pushed by his ring of cronies.

Romney will lose and conservatives will be better for it albeit still engaged in a long term war. We will still be herein 2013 when Obama faces our wrath.

Don’t know about you but I am ready to fight whereas those who capitulate to Romney are laying down. I am not afraid of Obama. In fact Obama is the perfect adversary to go up against. No matter what he does he faces impeachment and voter wrath. He will be impeached.

No. Two wrongs do not make a right. If you can show a historical instance where it has, I’d like to see it. It is the responsibility of the current Republicans in congress to hold him to the law/constitution.

If none such will step up to do the job, they are every bit as responsible and America as we knew it is already lost.
Electing another just like them will not logically improve matters. Further, it is stupidity at it’s highest level to expect that by electing a person with a record mirroring ‘the problem’ that you will get improvement or solution. You get more problems.

My turn. Would the founding fathers, have elected a man whose politics/actions run contrary to the very Constitution they conceived? Since the mere concept flies in the face of reason, perhaps you should reconsider your own ‘logic’ which equally flies in the face of reason.

But it’s your vote. Use it as you will.

FRiend, Romney is not yet the candidate,
and does not deserve to be the candidate,
and should not be the candidate.

My turn.

Fair is fair.

Would the founding fathers, have elected a man whose politics/actions run contrary to the very Constitution they conceived?

No, FRiend. They would not. Being a Texan, I am far less tolerant than most who will allow their liberties to be taken from them without a fight. Many times since Obama was elected, I looked around me to see who was ready to march on Washington D.C. I saw very few.

I do not have much confidence that the current generation of Americans understands what freedom is. They have always been free. They know nothing else. My grandparents, who were married in 1936, raised me differently from anyone else I know who is my age (42). They taught me to trust in the Lord first. They taught me the value of a dollar. They taught me that a hard day's labor is its own reward. They taught me that your word is worth more than money or power.

I can't allow Obama to be re-elected. I must do everything within my power to stop it. Since my fellow Americans are not ready to march on Washington to physically remove some of the traitors who sit in power, I feel I must give Romney a chance. If he loses, I will reassess my options.

I will not tell you that your vote is a vote for Obama. That would be disingenuous. I respect your decision. You do what you must do.

Just to clarify my position, I ‘get’ why people will vote for MR. I get that Obama is the ultimate disaster and they are banking on less of a disaster...which I’ll give you he is. Let me explain my overall position by way of an example I used before on FR and hopefully it will help you understand my and perhaps others position better. Short version...

For a number of years I was Senior Ed at Off-Road.com. we were heavily into land use issues for obvious reasons and were quite vocal, even garnering network and major media coverage. Our thing was to go at the eco nuts full bore, giving no quarter. It made us lots of friends in the public and industry and just as many enemies. We had some successes of note but our biggest problem proved to be our own readership. you see, many of them were the very same go-along/get along types that infest the Republican party and much of America.

The end result was that rather than stand up to the Sierra/BLM et all, they chose to ‘get along’ and instead of standing for what they KNEW to be right, they chose the ‘lesser evil’ of compromise with the greens.

The very same tracts of land that they ‘compromised’ a bit of closure on 13ish years ago are totally closed today.

Bottom line: That compromise with evil cost them everything. As will compromise with the Liberal Republican win today. History is one tape loop of events. Hopefully the above will help you get a better idea of why I believe as I do.

No explanation necessary. I was where you are about a month or so ago. I understand your reasoning.

> “Many times since Obama was elected, I looked around me to see who was ready to march on Washington D.C. I saw very few.”

I guess those near 2 million that Glen Beck led onto the Mall 2 years back don’t count.

You seem not to understand that with either Obama or Romney there will be an enemy in the Whitehouse that will attempt to rob Americans of their freedom. The problem is capitulation on the part of those who have not carefully thought through it, they are willing “to give Romney a chance”. That’s loser talk.

Remember independents were willing “to give Obama a chance”.

Don’t give anyone ‘a chance’. Hitler was given a ‘chance’; that’s fact. Know with certainty by examining the record whether a candidate’s words match past performance. Romney can look you straight in the eye and lie through his teeth. And he knows he is telling lies but he doesn’t care.

He wants your vote and will say exactly what you want to hear; he will be all things to all people for a vote. He will tell you not to listen to others about him because they are misinformed but his record shows what he really is. He’s not in the game for you or most Americans. Just like Obama he is in it for power and for his cronies.

Like Soros himself said there isn’t much difference between Obama and Romney. Failed President Carter said he would be happy to have Romney as his President.

The bottomline is:

If Obama wins you have a chance to fight.
If Romney wins you lose with little chance to fight.

Here’s the game winning strategy:

* Do not vote for either Obama or Romney.

* Vote for TP conservatives wherever they are on the ballot.

* After Obama wins reelection support every effort to bring impeachment against him. For example, Fast & Furious, Sheriff Arpaio, Black Panthers, corrupt cronyism.

* Continue to vote for TP conservatives in the off-year election of 2014.

* Speak out to your family, friends and neighbors that the GOPe must be eradicated and TP conservatives must take back the GOP.

Not that I would put it past this administration to do just that, I was mearly thinking of the GUILT one would feel after the fact of just doing his job and the deaths that resulted but were necessary to insure the freedom of the country.

I am a soldier that took the oath just like these brave fallen.

Forgive me for being SO naive, and only thinking like one of the troops on the ground doing his best for God and country.

You are right. The Son-of-a BITCH OBAMA probly had it planned all along.

What happened to SCI and Top Secret and need to know??!!?? I had the DOJ crawl up my ass with a microscope to get my SCI/TS clearance.

I can only imagine the charges you or me would be facing if we had allowed this kind of access to a secure facility to a person without proper clearance.

Well, what did Bush 43 actually do to reign in the awful beauracracy that destroys the VA Hospital system? Nothing.

So I don’t think Romney will do anything to truly help our veterans either.

And Bush turned Afghanistan and Iraq into political positions like the Dems did in during Vietnam. The ROE in both campaigns were inadequate.

And with a GOP Congress did he increase the size of the military? No. Increase services for veterans? No.

But Bush was far better for the military than Gore or Kerry even with his weaknesses. So I’m not going to ever think Mitt Romney will be different.

What on earth makes you think you would EVER be able to impeach AND convict Obama? We couldn't even convict Clinton after his impeachment, even though there was plenty of evidence to do so. It was just IGNORED by the Democrats in the Senate, and there wasn't anything we could do, other than try to defeat the Dems the next time around.

With Obama it would be even WORSE, because the media and Democrats would immediately, and continually, accuse the Republicans of trying to impeach Obama only because he's black. Doesn't matter that it's not true, it will be pervasive, and will only serve to make the average American, who doesn't pay the slightest attention to politics, sympathetic to Obama, which is the OPPOSITE of what we want.

I just want Obama GONE, so we don't have to fight with him, or about him, anymore.

Trent Lott was a spineless RINO that would not bring the Senate to vote on conviction.

Although Clinton was clearly guilty of obstruction of justice, the underlying scandal was a sordid affair of sex, oral sex with a young intern. Although disgraceful as it was it did not move the electorate to a state of rage of demanding his ouster.

With Obama it is different. Fast & Furious left Americans dead and thousands of innocent Mexicans dead in its wake. This is far above the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors.

And the gravity of Sheriff Arpaio’s investigation is fatal to Obama if the Sheriff is successful. Already his investigation has contributed credibility to Obama’s fraud.

Yes there will be counter charges of racism but they will not stick. These crimes are high crimes and will move the electorate to critical mass in calling for his ouster.

Once the MSM is proven derelict in the eyes of independents and conservatives, the democrats will capitulate and their unity broken.

That’s the war plan.

But with Romney there is no plan to stop this liberal liar from completing the Obama agenda. They are cut from the same cloth and are aiming for the same goal which is statism.

Anyone who votes for Romney for the purpose of ABO is a fool. It is analogous to picking your poison for how you will die.

I repeat:
If Obama wins, you have a chance to fight.
If Romney wins, you lose with little chance to fight.

The principled conservative voter will not check either Obama or Romney but will vote TP conservative everywhere on their ballot.

The outcome will be the same. Obama MIGHT be impeached in the House, but the Democrats will again IGNORE the evidence and fail to convict in the Senate.

Even though Trent was a linguini-spined RINO, bringing it up for a vote was meaningless, because the evidence was never viewed by most of the Senate. They had no desire to convict Pres. Clinton, and will have even LESS desire to convict Barack Obama.

With Senators getting primaried, with dead people on the ground from F&F, with clear proof of fraud in the Whitehouse, it will be difficult for any politician to avoid the questions.

With Clinton it was about sex and using Whitehouse personnel to cover up the truth. This disgrace does not even begin to compare with F&F and forged documents.

The only hope for Senators who want to sweep all this under the rug is for the public to not be informed and so far the state run media is keeping the public in the dark.
