An Iranian official disclosed new details Thursday concerning the reporting exposure of a U.S. spy ring in the Islamic Republic, saying that Tehran arrested 12 CIA agents...

The Iranian official's comments come after current and former U.S. officials said on Monday that dozens of spies working for the CIA were captured recently in Lebanon and Iran, as well as after Iran's claim earlier this year that it had intercepted a major spy ring.

Hussein's ex-CIA chief, Leon Panetta, is now the SecDef. Now that Hussein has ruined the CIA's intelligence capabilities in the Middle East, his stooge is set to screw up the Defense Department.

Add to that Hussein's ruination of our friendship with Egypt and his work to give Al Qaeda some room to maneuver in Libya, it isn't difficult to see he is the worst occupant of the Oval Office ever.

Hussein “failure?”

Who do you think sent Iran the names?!

[American Constitutionalist]

: ( Iran says arrests 12 CIA agents...(Another Hussein Era FAILURE)

Needless to say, EPIC FAILURE !!!


And tell us why they went after and persecuted Scooter Libby again ?

[RetiredArmy]

Probably should check the White House emails to see if anyone over there was warned about these mean spies. This administration is the biggest failure, larger than Jimmy Carter, yet these fools hanging around this pimp in the White House think he is the greatest president ever. He has accomplished absolutely NOTHING positive for this nation. But, he sure has done enough damage to tear it down to the roots.

Either Omoslem ratted them out, or Pelosi did.

In her spare time, she plots against CIA.

And when they get lazy, Biden “accidentally on purpose” has a few gin-tonics and blabs the intel.

By the time Obama is done I expect him to publish the names, addresses and phone numbers of anyone who has ever aided any of the United States intelligence services.

Klinton got Mubaric beat 32 to 12 so far.

[SandRat]

To be expected of the Obaminist.

[InterceptPoint]

I repeat:

Find one CIA spy and you may have very good local counter intelligence. Find 12 CIA spies and you have a mole in either the CIA or the State Department.

This looks like a mole to me.

So, will Obama follow the Cain doctrine of exchanging all of the GITMO war prisoners for the release of the CIA agents?

Wait, I think Cain tried to clean up that assertion, I think, it’s difficult to remember the details because........ “got a lot swirling around in my head.”

They don't call the Democrats " RATS " for nothing.. they ratted out the C.I.A.

[Gator113]

release of the CIA agents?= release of the CIA agents, should they be captured?

[OldNavyVet]

I've heard of "Contempt of Congress" being a legal charge.

... but not Contempt of The President.

Might I suggest that we'll hear it soon?

[vetvetdoug]

Has everyone forgotten that Hillary Clinton's personal aide is the daughter and brother to the higher ups in Hamas? Yes, Anthony Weiner’s wife. A direct connection from the State Department to the ones that are being outed as we speak.

[ozzymandus]

I didn’t think Obama’s CIA had 12 agents in the world, much less 12 in Iran.

“Smart Power” or “Leading From Behind”. Take your pick.

Years ago I thought Pat Moynihan was berserk when he wanted to abolish the CIA. But he was right. It has become an unaccountable bureaucracy bumbling from one catastrophic failure to the next. And no one pays a price because their only business is to tell the president exactly what he wants to hear.

If you read up on this episode, the stupidity is sickening. As bad as a few years ago when the ever so PC agency's female COS in Afghanistan got all those people blown up. But no one will pay a price. Except for the poor fools who trusted the USA.

[Diogenesis]

CIA/DOD -> Sec. State —> Huma -> Hamas -> Mullahs

Nothing to see HERE, America.

Move along.

Hezbollah hacked into the billing phone records and somehow identified CIA used numbers and tied them back to the agents. In the rush to get new humint sources in the ME, the CIA abandon the caution of correct craft and used the phone system.
