The World War Two-era motto “Loose lips sink ships” was meant to save lives and prevent harm to America. It is also an admonition that Barack Obama, Commander-in-Chief, has been wilfully contravening for years when it comes to America’s overseas opponents.
Ever since he became President Barack Obama has worked to weaken America’s posture toward our adversaries. Some of these have been obvious: eviscerating American armed forces, betraying ally relationships built up over decades, and empowering foes such as Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood. Others have flown under the radar screen but, like the diminishing fleet of stealth fighters in the Air Force, can nevertheless be devastating.
These deliberate steps began early.
Within a few months of Barack Obama’s inauguration, his administration made public detailed interrogation memos describing the techniques used by the Central Intelligence Agency to gather information from terrorists. Those methods were among the Bush administration’s most closely guarded secrets. Barack Obama ordered the release of these secrets despite pleas from then-CIA director, Leon Panetta:
The documents were released with minimal redactions, indicating that President Obama sided against current and former C.I.A. officials who for weeks had pressed the White House to withhold details about specific interrogation techniques. Leon E. Panetta, the C.I.A. director, had argued that revealing such information set a dangerous precedent for future disclosures of intelligence sources and methods.
Terrorists would know what to expect should they be captured by other nations that see the utility of such tactics, or by American forces led by a different President. A Navy Seal once told me that he and others volunteered to be water-boarded so they would be prepared for such interrogation should they be captured. If it was considered training by Navy Seals it would also be considered preparation by terrorists who, after all, are prepared...

Valerie Jarrett is the president. Barry plays golf, watches sports and gives speeches.
Trading 5 Taliban commanders for 1 deserter and traitor to America was the icing on the cake. Doing so without giving Congress ANY chance to stop it was a crime of the highest order. Congress’ silence on this highly illegal act is just as sickening.
Agreed, but unfortunately 0bama has the title and was sickeningly reelected.
Bump.

Washington lobbied London in 2009 for permission to supply Moscow with detailed data about the performance of UK missiles. The UK refused, but the US agreed to hand over [to Putin] the serial numbers of Trident missiles it transfers to Britain.
Professor Malcolm Chalmers said: “This appears to be significant because while the UK has announced how many missiles it possesses, there has been no way for the Russians to verify this. Over time, the unique identifiers will provide them with another data point to gauge the size of the British arsenal.”
Duncan Lennox, editor of Jane’s Strategic Weapons Systems, said: “They want to find out whether Britain has more missiles than we say we have, and having the unique identifiers might help them.”

I've never heard anyone even attempt to explain this betrayal. Unless the whole idea was to undermine our ally, why would you hand over the SERIAL NUMBERS of Britain's secret nuclear weapons?
Like you I can’t see any other reason than it was to undermine Great Britain, 0bama is no friend of theirs and I’ve read he hates them for the treatment his fathers family got from them in Kenya.
I don’t know if that’s actually true.
“Obama’s Loose Lips”?
Isn’t that racist?
I’d bet the turkey would say......yes.
I am just a poor wayfaring stranger...
