In what is being described as the largest release of secret U.S. military documents ever, the whistle-blowing web site WikiLeaks has released a trove of classified reports about the war in Iraq, including a secret U.S. government tally that puts the Iraqi death toll between 109,000 and 285,000, according to news sources that received advanced copies of the documents.

On the contrary, I said that early on. That this was intentional. If it were truly national security at issue, it would have never been allowed to happen. Not even Obama is that stupid.
So Presidents never get shot, our soldiers never get attacked unless we want them to, our homeland never gets attacked unless we allow it. Ooooookaaaaayyyy.
Yeah!

How is that possible?

“Ending?”
BUMP!
SMASH!
STOMP!
SMEAR!
DESTROY!
PULVERIZE!
NUKE!!
I’m game.
Why are we supposed to believe this is all true?
Which is why I'm thinking this is a government-sponsored data leak. Either it's intentionally skewed data, or it's a Bolshevik plot (won't say who might be behind it, but I bet you can guess) to undermine our nation's strength.
“Holder/Obama want it leaked. Too bad for them they did not think through the timing. “
If it were really a security issue it would not have been allowed to be leaked.
These are factual statements. But they would be met with a shrug of the shoulders by our political class . The fact is that the preservation of the Constitution and our national security have no meaning to these people.
The reaction to our Defense establishment to the Fort Hood Massacre was that the “real tragedy” was the possible harm that would come to “diversity” (not the deaths of service members, their families, and civilian workers). Our politicians and the media probably feel that the people at Wanky Leaks just serve to enrich this diversity, just as long as things don’t spin out of control too fast.
Our “leaders” have allowed habeas corpus rights for foreign combatants, in a departure from more than 200 years of precedence. Miranda rights have been read to prisoners in Afghanistan.
On the domestic “front”, our State Dept submitted a report to the UN a couple of weeks ago crediting itself with meeting the UN’s Human Rights standards by opposing Arizona’s intention of enforcing Federal immigration laws at its borders.
That’s where it’s going, IMHO. Not that Obama or the rest of our government class wants sudden military defeat or a total implosion of our economy tomorrow. Above all they are about control, and that requires some patience.
Hey, that’s a pretty good kill ratio.
Probably. He only lets it show when he’s by himself playing with his Bush and Reagan action figures.
These LEAKS were allowed. They have known for weeks that they were coming and they could have gone after the leakers at any time they chose. This namby-pamby weakling of a president was probably afraid of what the polls in Europe would have shown. So our “leadership” sat here and chose to do nothing. The blood is on their hands as much as the leaker.

This lets you know where the security of the US has been reduced to a level where we don’t even consider taking the group out.
If One secret about Israel would have been leaked by this cowardly group, they would be gone, “TODAY”.
> this will come as a disappointment to the libs who
> constantly claimed at least 600K iraqis were killed...
Yes, and let us not forget who perpetrated the overwhelming preponderance of the killing.

Same old crap.
The leaks could not have happened and printed without obama’s approval. How is it that obama can have a full time staff working at concealing his birth and education records but not able to keep top secret information off the internet. For some reason he wants to make America look evil . This only helps the radical Muslims.
“WikiLeaks: At Least 100,000 Iraqis Reportedly Killed During War”
Seems kind of low. We need bigger bombs.
“When will people in the media ask why Prine AL Waleed the Saudi Kings nephew, is a major shareholder in ........News Corp/Fox News”
Not that I like him owning ANY of Fox News, but I thought his share was around 7% which is not exactly being a “major shareholder” if true.
