Where’s your proof that any of his assertions are false?

I was largely referring to the claim that he was hired by the Reagan administration as a CIA operative to go agaist the Soviet Union. As for one particularly bit of 'proof' of the insanity of this, we are personally experiencing (today) Obama's selling our national security out to the Russians (and ChiComs).

Oh, so you have ‘No comment’ about Manning’s claim that Obama lied about attending Columbia?

There have been many moles within the Agency and some with knowledge by senior officials that the recruit is a Marxist mole wannabe.

Such undesirables are allowed because they are able to establish credibility with enemy agents and in so doing they provide information to the Agency that would not otherwise be retrievable.

The young pro-Soviet Marxist Obama who was in college would be an acceptible recruit for the Agency because he could with his knowledge of Muslim customs and Marxist ideology be put into the Afghan theatre and be watched.

This is not nonsense. It is more SOP than anyting else.

Your argument is thus:

“Obama was pro-Soviet, THEREFORE he could not be an operative for the CIA.”

The contrapositive of your argument is:

“If Obama was an operative for the CIA, then he was not pro-Soviet”.

And the disjunctive equivalence of your argument is:

“Either Obama was not an operative for the CIA or he was not pro-Soviet”.

And as you assert that Obama was pro-Soviet, you deduce that he was not an operative for the CIA, THEREFORE Manning is out of his mind.

However, each logical version of your argument is invalidated by the counterexample:

“There exists persons who are operatives for the CIA and who are pro-Soviet”.

Hence, none of your argument is true in all circumstances, i.e ...it don’t hold water.
