"Barack Obama: Drone Warrior" and other self-enhancing security leaks by this administration

Charles Krauthammer  "The article could have been titled “Barack Obama: Drone Warrior.” Great detail on how Obama personally runs the assassination campaign. On-the-record quotes from the highest officials. This was no leak. This was a White House press release."
"Why? To portray Obama as tough guy. And why now? Because in crisis after recent crisis, Obama has looked particularly weak: standing helplessly by as thousands are massacred in Syria; being played by Iran in nuclear negotiations, now reeling with the collapse of the latest round in Baghdad; being treated with contempt by Vladimir Putin, who blocks any action on Syria or Iran and adds personal insult by standing up Obama at the latter’s G-8 and NATO summits."
Liberals claim the Obama presidency has earned America respect around the world. Really? See how Obama and Hillary are pictured in this Israeli cartoon below:
Jerusalem Post Still think Clinton will be more respected than Obama?
...."One capture could potentially make us safer than 10 killings. But because of the moral incoherence of Obama’s war on terror, there are practically no captures anymore. What would be the point? There’s nowhere for the CIA to interrogate. And what would they learn even if they did, Obama having decreed a new regime of kid-gloves, name-rank-and-serial-number interrogation?"


Leak of the day; egregious and criminal: Obama Order Sped Up Wave of Cyberattacks Against Iran  Read this article for yourself and see how much intelligence was given up to our enemies by this man whom voters have placed in charge of America's safety; all to enhance his own image.

UK Guardian: Leaks on Obama's security record give ammunition to left and right
"Mike Rogers, the Republican intelligence committee chairman in the House of Representatives, last month said that administration leaks revealing details of a failed plot out of Yemen to blow up a US-bound plane, exposed by an informant, jeopardised a continuing intelligence operation."


Salon: A White House obsessed with secrecy and punishing whistleblowers loves classifed disclosures that glorify Obama  "So exposing classified national security information is an act of criminal evil when done by a whistleblower to expose high-level error or abuse, or to a court trying to assess the legality of the President’s actions. But it is an act of great nobility when done to venerate the President as a strong and tough warrior. That’s the manipulative, propagandistic game-playing this administration exploits with its secrecy powers and whistleblower prosecutions."
