Did Obama Tell Left-Wing Journalist About Most Closely Guarded U.S. Secrets? Read Between The Lines
Wash Times ^ | Gertz

Posted on 10/17/2010 9:00:24 AM PDT by MindBender26

First, read the article from Bill Gertz in the Wash Times:

"A new book Bob Woodward reveals some of the CIA's holy-of-holies secrets: Details of covert action programs that must be approved personally by the president.

Mr. Woodward, in "Obama's Wars," describes a Dec. 9, 2008, meeting between President-elect Obama and then-CIA Director Michael V. Hayden and then-Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell. The briefing was on a detailed listing of some of the "14 highly classified covert actions," Mr. Woodward wrote.

At the top of the list was the Bush administration's program to "conduct clandestine, lethal counterterrorism operations and other programs to stop terrorists worldwide" in more than 60 nations. One program goal was to stop al Qaeda from using a nuclear weapon or spreading a biological warfare agent.

Other covert actions were directed at stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons; deterring North Korea from building more; conducting anti-arms proliferation activities around the world; and launching lethal CIA operations in Afghanistan, like deadly drone attacks and the 3,000-person CIA unit called Counterterrorism Pursuit Teams.

In Iraq, CIA covert action involves both lethal and political operations.

Also, CIA was paying "tens of millions" to several foreign intelligence services, including Jordan's General Intelligence Department.

Covert actions mentioned in the briefing included a program to stop genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan and a CIA program to provide the Turkish government with intelligence and other support to prevent the northern Iraq-based Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) from setting up an enclave in Turkey.

Disclosure of the programs raised eyebrows among several high-ranking national security officials because covert action — political, military and intelligence operations that are designed to hide the U.S. role in carrying them out — are among the most closely guarded secrets."

Read between the lines here.

Woodard’s book was based on his extensive interviews with Obama, so Obama obviously told the author about the most closely held US secrets. He knew Woodward would publish them, thereby killing the programs. In addition, public knowledge of this gets Americans killed.

If he told Woodward, he obviously told others too.

Obama is a traitor!

Remember that NASA’s #1 mission is now to “Develop better relations with Muslim countries!”

“Obama is a traitor!”

Yes he is. And the evidence portraying Obama as a traitor is not matched by any evidence to the contrary.

The only information supporting the assumption that Obama is not a traitor is the fact that the president isn’t supposed to be a traitor.

You mean you don’t think Woodward’s investigative skills uncovered this? /sarc

This is exactly why it is said that if Obama tried to get a job with the CIA, he couldn’t get a security clearance.

It may be just a matter of semantics, but I feel compelled to point this out. Traitor implies a willingness and affirmation of loyalty through some means that documents such. In the run-up to his misguided selection by an ill-informed electorate (all, conveniently, guided by a traitorous MSM) nothing was EVER asked of him about loyalty to this country, willingness to keep it safe, and all of the other standard oaths a true American might willingly profess.

Nothing like this occurred, nothing at all. America was diseased - needed fixing. He pandered to the most selfish instincts of our worst so-called Americans. His background, his heritage, nor his motives were EVER questioned - all of this 'validated' by the MSM with the overstamp of "an Historic event - a Black Man, post-racial, is elected".

His education, his political doings, his mentors, his upbringing (at least the true one), his BIRTHRIGHT, and his Religion have all been hidden from us.

So, in this literal sense, he really couldn't be considered as a traitor - just a plain enemy.

[For those of you who might say, well, "he affirmed his loyalty in the Oath of Office", I say that 'oath' was botched and had to be redone. An audio recording of this wasn't produced (or at least disseminated) to my knowledge - so it does not exist as far as I am concerned]

“Obama is a traitor”—I concluded that long ago, but here’s more proof to add to the mountain of evidence.

Please do not concentrate on 1/10 of 1% of the issue.

He plays for the other team, period!

Let e get this straight:

Obama couldn't get a security clearance today if he had to. Perhaps he got his first security clearance after winning the presidential election of 2008.

Clinton couldn't have gotten a security clearance either because of various activities as a student. He did get his first security clearance after the 1992 presidential elections.

So; all democratic presidents for the last 30 years, a generation if you will, have been deemed illegible to have access to national security issues until they became legible for residency at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Do we live in a great country or what?

What did they say during the public oath (at the inauguration) that needed correction in private?

It took 3-4 years to fully recover from the abomination that was the Carter administration. It also took one of the best presidents who ever held the office to get it done.

It will take 3-4 decades to recover from the obama administration if we can at all and I don't see anyone, anywhere up to even a part of that job as yet.

America was a great country until it committed suicide.

Covert actions mentioned in the briefing included a program to stop genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan and a CIA program to provide the Turkish government with intelligence and other support to prevent the northern Iraq-based Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) from setting up an enclave in Turkey.

I'd be happy to see both of these idiotic programs scrubbed.

Let Africans kill Africans, and let Turks kill Turks.

Both activities make the world a better place.

My first thought, on realizing that Obama had been elected in November 2008, ‘now all our enemies will know all our secrets’. The true Manchurian candidate.
