And if they were, this dipstick would say so?
Then it must be AXELROD who is the LEAKER!! And he got the info from OBAMA!
Where is the Special Prosecutor? To leak cyber tactics, and drone tactics has put us all in danger.
If Axelhole is telling Steponallofus the leaks aren’t from the WH I guess it’s pretty sure the leaks were from the WH.
I think the authors of all of this work have said that the White House was not the source of this information,” Axelrod told me this morning on “This Week.”
And of course Stephy asked for Axelrod’s sources for that statement.
There are two critical rules about lying.
First, NEVER lie.
Second, if you ever do lie, NEVER stop.
Axelrod lives by the second rule.
Axelrod is an awful liar. He looks sleazy and non-credible. Just another incompetent leftist who thinks he has God given talent. Like telepromter Obama and his nervous tool Eric Holder
The reporter on CNN says he did talk to the O folks and says this
“Sanger contended that how Obama conducts himself in the theater of international military action is key for the public to know, and is a necessary story for the media to report on, regardless of the secrecy associated with national security issues.”
Ax is the target. Jarette and Holder are going to pin this on him to get rid of him.
Actions have consequences, Ax. You attempt to end run the tribal elders and you get busted.
First, I’m sure he IS confident the investigation will clear obama.
Second, why wasn’t the WH screaming to high Heaven the minute these articles were published?
This is a declaration of war against the congressional republicans. Axis-rod has clearly acknowledged the leaks, and these leaks are serious. The witch hunt against GOP reps and staffers will soon begin. Holder’s DOJ lawyers are just hacks designed to intimidate congress by investigation. Boner and the boys need to realize that zero will use these leaks as a crisis, a pretext, to attack the GOP.
The best defense is a good offense, and congress had better ratchet up the pressure on Holder with regards to F&F. They had better start beating the drum for a special prosecutor or else, zero and Holder will eat them for lunch.
How would Axelrod know whether they came from the White House or not? Unless he knows where the leaks came from.
I’ll need a better source....
Didn’t Nixon’s boys say the same?
Beyond the overt use of cyber attacks, Daniel Klaidman of Newsweek says that Obama has been intimately involved with the life-and-death decisions of the vastly-accelerated drone strikes against terror suspects in Pakistan and Yemen.
“It’s extraordinary the extent to which this president has been very deeply and personally involved in these killing decisions - kinetic activity as they call it,” said Klaidman, the author of “Kill or Capture: The War on Terror and the Soul of the Obama Presidency” (Houghton Mifflin). “This is a president who came in to office wanting to wind down the wars of 9/11 to sort of a smaller footprint... he sort of emerges as a sort of shadow warrior using drones, using special operations forces and then in the Iranian context, as David reports, using cyber warfare and espionage, and it’s a way to try to continue to deal with these threats but without full-scale war,” he said.
The culmination of the drone and cyber wars is a new phase in American foreign policy.
“There is an Obama doctrine,” said Sanger, “which is, the country’s tired of these big wars of occupation, of sending 100,000 troops into a country, staying around for four or five years at a cost of a trillion dollars or more, and yet we still have these threats. So the way he has operated has been to try to choose a high tech area where the Unites States has advantage.”
Acclaimed New York Times journalist David Sanger writes news breaking account of President Barack Obama’s national security decisions.
Exclusive new book reveals never-before-told details about a sophisticated
cyber-war program against Iran, a secret committee on Afghanistan called “Afghan Good Enough,” the chaos of the Arab spring, and how an effort to
re-establish American power in the Pacific set the stage for a new era of
tensions with the world’s great rising power, China
