Rep. Peter King: National Security Leaks Came From the White House
Fox News ^ | 06/11/2012

Posted on 06/11/2012 5:04:50 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Peter King (R-NY), sat down with Jamie Colby today on America’s News HQ to discuss the investigation into the leaks on counter-terrorism programs. Congressman King said, “This is the most shameful cascade of leaks I’ve ever heard or seen in government. We’re not talking about an incidental leak coming out … We’re talking about leaks involving two of the most sensitive programs in the United States government.”

He said it’s “clear” from those stories published in The New York Times that the information “came from the White House, came right from the National Security Council, came right from the Situation Room.” Rep. King continued, “For the president to say he’s outraged by this … how come he said nothing about it until a few of us, including John McCain, stood up and took him to task for it.”

The congressman pointed out that the intelligence released in the leaks is so sensitive that Attorney General Eric Holder can’t even say what the Department of Justice is investigating. He said President Obama is trying to look like John Wayne and said there’s no need to put American lives at risk in order to build up the president’s image for the election.

If the Democratic administration is guilty of intentionally leaking security for political reasons then the Republican opposition is equally guilty of not aggressively rooting out the corruption. If lives are put on the line due to this breach, then no one is without guilt.

The GOP will never become aggressive as long as the MSM keeps covering for the democrats

The MSM decides what is and what is not news

Until the GOP gets on message and STAYS there every time they are interviewed etc etc nothing will happen

The quote is, “It’s too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards” from 101 Things to Do ‘Till the Revolution by Claire Wolfe.

She wrote that in the mid ‘90s.

It may have been even worse than that. Obama is claiming credit for Stuxnet. Israel disagrees.

“Israeli Mossad agents told Haaretz that Stuxnet was developed by Mossad and not the Bush Administration. The agents also claim the Obama Administration disclosed the program to help Barack Obama’s reelection campaign.”

This weasel of a president will even leak the sensitive intelligence information of a valued ally if it will make him look good.

RE: Been busy lately and missed a bit. What was it that was leaked?

I hasten to add also that the name of double agent who infiltrated the Yemeni Al Qaeda terror cell that prevented a bomb being planted in one of our airlines was LEAKED.

And then there’s the Pakistani doctor who helped us determine where Osama Bin Ladin was via a DNA gathering method while cooperating with us in a fake vaccine program. His name was leaked too. He has now been sentenced to 33 years in prison in Pakistan.

Who is going to cooperate with us after these fiascos?

Even if you voted all them out in one election (a good start to be sure) there’s still the power structure behind them. The DNC/RNC...all committed to maintain their power over all else and they are closed shops.

It’s such a mess I honestly don’t believe it can be fixed short of divine intervention.

Any sane person knows zer0 and his cohorts have been cut off from all intelligence briefings by our allies. Our allies probably cut them off ... near day one. Israel is being used, as is normal. Though believe Israel cut off zer0 after Bibi came to D.C. back about a year ago. This is an opinion. I do not know this opinion to be true.

I mentioned this threat years ago. Think about the anti-americans in the executive branch and what these enemies have full access to: and who will they give and sell this info to once they get the boot?

The “Flamer” worm got turned off this weekend, it vanished according to Symantics, Just wondering if Obama spilling the beans on Stuxnet, was a ploy to prevent Mossad from using Flamer to further delay the Iranian Nuclear program?

I can think of no other excuse for the footdragging and game playing.”

I will provide the short answer: riots on a scale unheard of in your lifetime in every city in the country.

Comparing treasonous traitors with those lacking the power to force the prosecution is beyond the pale. The only way this prosecution would go forward is for 3 good generals to step forward and declare martial law.

Let them riot and put the rioters down. Or should we live in fear of the mob and legislate to their whims? No, it’s not an easy thing to do, but it’s the right thing to do.

” The only way this prosecution would go forward is for 3 good generals to step forward and declare martial law.”

I’m starting to believe there are not 3 good Generals left. If there were, they would be stepping up to the plate after the crap the military has had to deal with between leaks, asinine ROEs and the Osama raid aftermath.

I guess you and I were screaming at the TV at precisely the same time. “MY White House.” The gall of that man!

There’s a reason the “mute” button on our remote is about worn out. An Obama speech is hazardous to my blood pressure.

Since the leak did not come from the White House Per Mr. Obama I would suggest that Representative King request that the New York Times release the source of their information. The New York Times can not do this due to obtaining the information on the basis of confidentiality.

Mr. Obama could have every person working in the White House (including himself) sign a release of confidentiality to the New York Times. If this were done, we would know by the next day who did it.

As destructive as hussein has been to the U.S. so far, it’s nothing compared to his final two months in office if he is unable to steal the election. All secrets given to the enemy and probably start a war too.
