Is there Anyone Obama Won't Betray?

Bravo to the boys and girls in the military/intelligence
community who have stood toe-to-to with Obama for jeopardizing the
sources and methods that took out Osama bin Laden.

While the liberal press tries to make hay out of the fact that the folks behind the Special Operations OPSEC Education Fund Inc
have…gotcha!...“Republican” ties, I’m thinking well thank God for
Republicans in the military/intelligence community then. These are
folks, well known to me, who have been at war since 2001, while the rest
of America has been at the mall.

And why aren’t heroes like, [cough, hack] John Kerry- largely a
Gilbert and Sullivan sailor- who was so brave, that he spent four whole
months in Vietnam; why aren’t they speaking out on behalf of service
members?

Oh, that’s right. Democrats lost their moral compass while experimenting with LSD in the late 1960s.

So we should just give them a pass.

The OPSEC group has a serious point, however: It’s bad enough that
Democrats, like John Kerry, describe the Global War on Terror as a
“bumper sticker.” But when the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of
the United States plays politics with intelligence and the lives of our
combat troops, you wonder if its not just LSD flashbacks from the
1960s, but perhaps LSD flash-forwards.

Of course, Obama has no need of drugs per se. When you are the Chosen
One, all you need is yourself. Obama’s self-love is much more powerful
than LSD. &...

For example, the consternation we have seen between the U.S. and
Pakistan for the past year signals the likelihood that at least some
portion of the Pakistani government participated in the tip off that
killed bin Laden.

The public row in the media between the U.S. and Pakistan was staged
by the Pakistanis largely to cover up the fact that the Pakistani
government turned on bin Laden. The fight was staged by us to help cover
up the fact that they knew that we knew that they knew bin Laden was
there for some time.

The average Pakistani revered bin Laden as a hero. So you can
understand why the Pakistani government wouldn’t want to own up to
participating in the operation that took him out.

And the Obama administration has been happy to help advance the
cover, even if it jeopardized American lives and the lives of our
intelligence assets, by giving up a key person who helped us.
Subsequently, Dr. Shakil Afridi, a covert agent operating for the United
States, was sentenced to 33 years in prison in Pakistan for helping the
CIA confirm the whereabouts of bin Laden.

The thought has hardly crossed Obama’s mind that maybe it’s time to
stop supporting a country that supported America’s public enemy number
one for so long. And can you blame him? Dr. Afridi’s Facebook page
only has 38 members. Turning over Dr Afridi to thje Pakistanis was an
easy call for Obama. When has Obama actually cared about 38 votes?

I guess there are just some things that the American people take lying down now- like betrayal of a friend.

Obama has made it quite clear that U.S. intelligence assets and U.S.
military assets are just the chump change in a strategy of world
conquest that largely only exists between the big ears of the One.

Think “Winning.”

Likewise, Obama’s sucked up to China and Russia as well.

A small insertion in a budget item passed last year bans scientific
co-operation between the U.S and our largest creditor, the People’s
Republic of China. This information according to Congressman Frank Wolf.

China, Wolf charges, has also been involved in anti-American activities that have harmed national interests.

“Representative Frank Wolf (R-VA), a long-time critic of the Chinese
government who chairs a House spending committee that oversees several
science agencies,” said Forbes
“inserted the language into the spending legislation to prevent NASA or
OSTP from using federal funds ‘to …collaborate, or coordinate
bilaterally in any way with China or any Chinese-owned company.’”

It’s been an open secret that the Chinese have sponsored a series of
cyber attacks on U.S. interests for the last five years, including DoD
facilities, intelligence centers and even the White House.

Wolf’s own office computers, which contain information about dissident Chinese, have also been hacked from inside China.

Some intelligence types think that in addition to targeting military
secrets, China’s trying dry runs aimed at taking out our command and
control.

But like the Pakistani drama, the Obama administration’s words of
condemnation regarding Chinese spying are mostly meant to keep us
citizens happy.

The Obama administration would never cut off their supply of money by
quibbling with China about espionage and national security.

Why would they? They can’t even stand up to Pakistan or Russia.

Or Syria.

Obama has decided to ignore the prohibition inserted into the budget by Wolf regarding collaboration with the Chinese.

It’s business as usual with China.

There is a growing unease amongst national security types that
foreign policy and national security decisions are being made by the
administration with an eye towards re-election rather than with the best
interest of the United States in mind.

While the same charge can be leveled at any administration, Obama’s
team, notably less than subtle in matters requiring executive ability,
tend to fall back on campaign mode when faced with hard choices.

They pick what’s politically expedient rather than what’s smart, presidential or right.

Hence Robert Gates decision to exit stage right at the Department of
Defense and Hillary Clinton’s decision to exit stage left at the State
Department after the end of the term.

Will there be anyone competent left in Obama’s administration if he were to win a second term?

The operation that got bin Laden isn’t helping the administration in the national security community, either.

Far from it.

Many in the community resent the emphatic “I” used by Obama when announcing the operation.

But that’s not the worst of it.

By changing the story 26 times in a quest for personal glory, devoid
of any personal responsibility, Obama has left the impression that Navy
SEALs killed unarmed women and an unarmed, old man, while the One shot
and killed bin Laden, personally.

No amount of face time with the commander-in-chief can repair that
rift. The chain of command is supposed to support the troops who have
followed their orders.

One can argue the merits of continuing the friendship with Pakistan
and China and Russia, while ignoring their anti-American activities.

But leaving members of the military out to dry, well, that’s just un-American.

Just ask the folks OPSEC.
