I don't think he was worthy of praise before he was exposed. (which was a pretty small exposure since the vast majority of FReepers have never heard about it)
I think it is far more important to take notice of how much effort the 0bama administration has put into trying to intimidate him and why. I already listed the phalanx of high level officials, led by 0bieWon himself, who have taken a medium-strength MSM agenda and turned it into a high-profile international story.
If the safety of the troops were really his concern he wouldn't have done that. But now the same tactic is being used to stifle opposition to the 19 Martyr's Mosque. I don't see that as coincidence.
I agree with you there.
