Unreal - this fucker is drugged and doing chooms again

The White House blew the cover of the top CIA agent in Afghanistan on Sunday, when the person’s name was included on a list given to reporters during a visit to the country by President Barack Obama.
The name was then emailed by the White House press office to a distribution list of more than 6,000 recipients, mostly members of the US media.
The agent in question, listed as chief of station, would be a top manager of CIA activity in Afghanistan, including intelligence collection and a drone-warfare programme under which unmanned aerial vehicles mount cross-border attacks into Pakistan.
The name appeared on a list of attendees requested by White House officials for the president’s visit to Bagram air base to mark Memorial Day, the national day of tribute to fallen service members. The list of 15 people was drawn up by the military, written into a routine press report and sent to Washington. The Obama press office then sent the list, unredacted, to the larger group.
The mistake did not come to light until the reporter who had filed from Afghanistan, the veteran Washington Post correspondent Scott Wilson, looked more closely at what he had sent and noticed the name and title.
“I drew it to their attention before they had noticed what had happened,” Wilson said on Monday, hours after returning from the 33-hour trip overseas.
“I asked the press official that was with us on the trip if they knew that the station chief had been identified in the list. That person said that they did not know that, but that because the list was provided by military, they assumed it was OK. By this time the list was out.
“Soon after, I think that they talked to their bosses, and realised that it was not OK. And they tried to figure out what to do about this, if there was a way to kind of un-ring the bell.”
The name was left off of a subsequent report filed from Bagram.
The White House declined to comment on Monday on the disclosure. It was unclear whether or how the disclosure would affect US intelligence operations in Afghanistan. An internet search for the name turned up no results.
It is extremely rare for a US intelligence operative to be outed by the US government. In 2003, someone inside the George W Bush administration exposed the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame, a month after her husband, the diplomat Joe Wilson, had publicly questioned the administration’s case for the Iraq war. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, former chief of staff to then-vice-president Dick Cheney, was convicted of obstruction of justice and perjury in connection with the case.
Members of the CIA's operations arm, called the National Clandestine Service, are typically given cover identities to protect both them and sources they have recruited abroad. A station chief, who manages all CIA operations in a country, is often a senior officer whose true name is known to the host nation and other intelligence agencies. The term "station chief" is sensitive enough, however, that former officers usually are not allowed to use it in their resumés in connection with specific countries, even after their covers have been lifted.
Because the Afghanistan station chief is known to Afghan officials and lives in a heavily guarded compound, he may be able to continue in his job. In 2010 the CIA station chief in Pakistan, Jonathan Bank, was evacuated after local newspapers published his name in connection with a lawsuit, and he was threatened.
Wilson said time pressure, a high level of activity tied to the president’s visit and the relative inexperience of the military officers involved could have contributed to the mistake.
“My impression is these were very junior people trying to follow an order, that they don't fully understand or get the ramifications of,” he said.
“There were a number of misunderstandings and mistakes, including my own failure to review the list before including it in my email, in my pool report.
“I wish I had, I regret it.”

LOL and the libfags making excuses for this

This is pretty bad but only a certified idiot would start a thread blaming the president for this.
That person would have to be so fucking stupid as to think the the president personally works in the White House Press office and prepared and emailed out this list
It is almost impossible to imagine someone being that stupid
well ...... almost impossible

No I blame the idiots he hired...so what...yeah it is his fault.

No I blame the idiots he hired...so what...yeah it is his fault.
so you must think Obama hires everyone who works in the White House Press Office
Look on the bright side
It could have been much worse
Imagine if someone directly in the Executive Office had outed a CIA agent solely for a political vendetta and then a scapegoat was convicted and then had his sentence commuted by Obama
Can you imagine that happening?

It's all Bush's fault!

Incompetent "President" incompetent staff.

Yeah so incompetent he won reelection shoving his schlong up every conservative's ass repeatedly then he tea bagged the tea baggers.

According to getbig, the majority of the nation is conservative, but somehow they're tricked by a liberal media that nobody watches.
People have a hard time accepting the sad truth - obama is the prez because 51% of the people in this country are liberals, supporting amnesty, obamacare, welfare, and all the other things obama supports. It sucks, totally, but until people stop wasting energy blaming media - and start working to convince their liberal buddies to adopt conservative principles, nothing will change. It's like blaming TV commercials because so many ppl are fat - just own the fact that 51% of americans like fast food.

There is no way that I can foresee that this country will ever get back to conservative principles. Free shit will ALWAYS get the votes. the more poor people there are, the better the democrats will do. if you can't accept that, you're stupid. PERIOD.
The problem with welfare programs and handouts is that once you start them. There is no going back. The easiest platform to run on is against the guy who wants "to take money from the poor". Welfare programs very rarely if ever shrink. They either stagnate or become a big bloated mess. They are all a big bloated mess.

I think we CAN go back - it just has to be gradual and consistent. Yes, you cannot kick 20 million people off welfare tomorrow. But you CAN reduce them by 5% a year and limit new signups. In ten years, things shift to the right as people become employed and move to being repubs.
-
I think we're done.....we're about to commit cultural suicide with the next wave of immigrants. Its not the same as the 1900's or before. The folks leaving those countries were leaving well established culturally advanced nations. Latin America is a 3rd world shithole.....I really don't want that here.

sorry don't see it happening. just look a the rhetoric on this board for the minimum wage increase. the people who were for it believed that the democrats wanted to raise the minimum wage out of their concern for poor people. they took the opposition of the Republicans to be the fact that "they don't care about poor people".
and that is what the lowest common denominator will always believe. just ask any lib on here why they believe there is opposition to raising minimum wage.

Yeah so incompetent he won reelection shoving his schlong up every conservative's ass repeatedly then he tea bagged the tea baggers.
Weather you hate him or not the guy is pretty smart
Just because he won by lying, cheating and stealing doesn't mean he's competent in his job. He's one of the, if not THE most inept politicians of our time.
-

again, that's underestimating him. He got obamacare passed. He has borrowed trillions. If you define competent as "getting the shit done that you want to get done", then yes, he's doing that just fine.
He's incompetent at achieving conservative goals, yes. He's incompetent at upholding Constitution and balancing budget and fixing healthcare system. BUT when it comes to getting his own lib agenda passed, he's succeeded in a lot of it.

Actually he's probably the most competent politician in the modern era, except for maybe Bill Clinton.
Look at all the crap going against him in 2010-2012, yet whether he lied or not, (which is ignorant to think OB is special at it), all the out lash, the economy, "the great candidate Romney was", etc....
HE STILL WON!
And its because of people just like yourself, still spewing your hate, your birther BS, or whatever it is making yourselves look like fools, that will get us another 16 years of dem crap.
Thanks

they had scott brown 41. 'obamacare is dead', was the cry heard on the boards.
then this 'dummy' found a way to shove it down our throats, then convince a nice conservative like John Roberts to uphold it.
So while I find him to be disgusting, lying, illegal alien, and a socialist, I don't use words like "stupid" or "incompetent".

The reason America suffers from Obama is... um...
Repubs were fooled by a known liar like Obama?
You're not helping the GOP look any better here. After years in office, they STILL believed obama? WTF?

lol, i am starting to think you voted him.
And those other peeps you just mentioned, they don't have obsession issues. They are reasonable, not insane, not obsessed, not selling out their integrity for hate. They articulate the reasons they are against something with out trolling or going into homo laced incoherent rages. Its wasn't them who ruined it for the GOP.
It was people like you.

Ok Obama voter - tell me exactly what the GOP could have done to stop obamacare? List it
-
Ok Obama voter - tell me exactly what the GOP could have done to stop obamacare? List it
1) Create a better healthcare plan so that obama never had a chance
2) If you arrive in 2009 and you haven't done #1, at least educate americans on how you suddenly realized it's important, and use every waking breath to talk about your own alternative plan. Don't submit 120 of those "make a point" bills about wedge issues - submit a BETTER healthcare plan 120 times instead.
3) GO ON msnbc and CNN 24/7, not just FOX news who is nice to you, and whose viewers are already decided on how they'll vote in the 2032 elections. Stop hiding in conservative media and go to where the libs spend their day, and CONVERT them to your plan.
THAT is how. They hid on FOX mostly, and told us going hungry is better than eating a poop sandwich. Maybe they should have delivered america a better sandwich offering, every single week quite publicly. Then people would have said "Hey, maybe I want the "Freedom health plan" or whatever name they come up with for it. They had some scab bill parts here and there, but let's all admit it - the 2010-2011 congressional years were all about symbolic wedge issue bills.
-

Good stuff, I would also add:
- WIN more congressional and Senate seats in 2008, 2010.
- Abolish the tea party
- Take the money and start a campaign to EXPOSE the ACA in 2008-2010
- Stop serving up unelectable candidates that stupid shit like "lets get rid of medicare or SocSec"
- Squash the whiney little angry birther bitches that post stupid hate shit all day long.
- Distance themselves a little from likes of people like Mike Savage
If they had done much of this there would be a good chance we would have got actual cost reform.

Oh, you mean passing a major policy on recess when without the right knowing and on vacation? Sounds like a pussy move to because he knows it wouldn't have passed if they hadn't been on vacation. He's a major piece of shit.

I dont think he cares. he passed the lib bullshit he wanted to pass. Sure, he did it like a punk and sure, he had to 'sneak', but in the end, he'll look back and brag about delivering socialized medicine for all to the USA.
I do question... why doesnt every president just wait til every recess and pass anything he wants? Surely it's not just the 'dignity' of the prez that has prevented this.

Again, it says more about things in general in this country than it does about him, unless you want to give him credit for voter fraud.
The US has become a nation of too many mindless, celebrity-obsessed idiots who want free stuff and want to be told what they want to hear and even be told what to do. Obama is a charismatic celebrity figure and a good speaker and campaigner - I give him that. But his campaigns and speeches offer little or no substance, and only appeal to those who think and act with their emotions.
The media protects and promotes him as though they were his PR firm. He would not be able to pull all this off twice without them - even when you take out the white guilters and those who vote for him because of his race.
Actually he's probably the most competent politician in the modern era, except for maybe Bill Clinton.

And yet no one on the other side is smart enough to figure out how to beat him with those conditions.
A big part of the problem is the other side's continued arrogance in calling OB dumb, incompetent while he has repeatedly beat them.
He should have been a 1 termer.

We ran Mccain....he wasn't going to win...no repub was going to. Then we ran Romney who had to fight the conservatives to get them to see him as a conservative...he was not. he should have strangled Obama in the debates but he didn't. It doesn't matter Obama may be great at speeches and campaigns but little else. Oh wait he is a master...absolute master of destroying the greatest experiment in self government the world has ever known. We're rapidly becoming a 3rd world shithole.

Yeah...why the fuck is my electric bill 200 plus a month...why is gas $3.25 or more. Why did we just loose two more wars with no end in sight for their causes. Why do we have to subsidize half the population with our tax dollars with the potential to overrun the country with millions more. Why does the world ignore Obama and the US now more then ever......things are not fine.

I don't know if my electric bill is cheaper because i just conserve better, but mine is like 50% less than it was 2 years ago. We all knew in 2008 we weren't gonna see $2.10 gas prices ever again. But don't worry, if it was a GOP pres, peeps would be saying he doesn't control the gas prices and the EPA won't let them off shore drill.
The thing is, the GOP hasn't come up with answer that solves these problems that can get elected.
What we have seen is whole lots of petty cry baby bitching like we see from SC.
Until some real leadership evolves, the GOP will continue to lose.
I want someone who can get something done AND get elected.
-
Based on what things look like now...Congress will be republican...vote a repub in 2016 and things will get done. But they have to compromise where its needed and roll back spending unilaterally if necessary. There are bones to be given, especially on social issues.

you can't help it
and we all have to put up with it while you compulsively troll this board 24/7 reminding us all just how fucked up you are

your posts are mostly nonsense (like this one attempting to blame Obama for a fuck up in the White House Press office) and the remainder are just an endless and truly pathetic display of your closeted gay self and your yearning to be with a black man and of course your anger and self loathing over being a closet queen

sure thing Nancy
you're clearly in deep denial (that's part of the reason for your projection of anger)
you have no idea how flaming you appear to everyone else
The only possible redeemable quality about o-twink is that he s half black and gay.
You sound so totally not gay in this post
Twink please - every plan of O-Twink had taxes going up on those at 250k

You blame every bad thing on him. I can just see you walking Brooklyn cursing OB under your breath as the traffic light takes to long to turn green ........or when your girlfriend refuses to have sex with you when you insist she wears a OB mask. lol
No one can deny this little midget is truly lost in the throes of Jungle Fever every day.
No other straight man on Planet Earth does as much gay talk as our little board twink.

We ran Mccain....he wasn't going to win...no repub was going to.
Mccain LED the polls right before the RNC. Then he chose palin, lost the lead, and never regained it.
But yes, the nation grew tired of obama's bullshit after he was decimated by Hilary and barely won the nomination. He was NOT a good choice, and many swing voters realized it. However, when 60% of TOTAL voters declared on voting day thaat palin wasn't even qualified to be veep (fox moffit edison polling), people realized.... voters were just choosing the lesser of 2 evils. And obama was less inept that palin, they believed. It cannot be argued. 60%. baffling.
in 2012, romney was just a caricature of a candidate. Spray tanning himself orange to speak to spanish tv univision? WTF? He was the least mentally ill in a field of radicals, let's be honest.

don't forget his statement that the "fundamentals of the economy are strong" and then about a week later he he shuts down his campaign to go back to Washington to save the country from financial meltdown and then did nothing to actually help.
McCain suspended his campaign on Sept 24th and the Couric Palin interview airs on the 24th and 25th
After that the McCain campaign was dead man walking and we all know the outcome

HAHAHA these two midgets have taken an ass thrashing on this thread.
About as bad as the ass raping of the GOP that Obama has done for eight years.

HAHAHA this little twit still showing up for more ass kicking.
Flaming little nelly like you just can't handle reality.

And yet no one on the other side is smart enough to figure out how to beat him with those conditions.
A big part of the problem is the other side's continued arrogance in calling OB dumb, incompetent while he has repeatedly beat them.
He should have been a 1 termer.
I agree that the other side constantly screws it up, and have said so. But I think it's for different reasons than them attacking him. If anything, I think they've been far too soft on him, particularly during campaigns. I think those running the campaigns have a lot to do with that.
They also need to learn to appeal to people's emotions and dumb down the big picture facts they need people to understand - particularly the low information voters. And stay away from wedge issues like abortion, religion, gay marriage, etc as much as possible.

They can't do that because then they would have absolutely nothing to pander to their base with.

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: You put them all together, and you have a crisis of competence. This administration had a lot of ideological opponents, including me, many others, but it was mostly on their goals, radical, expanding the government, intruding into people's lives. Then you get to a point where you get three factors, as you say, the most important underlying all of it is the economy.
The recession lasted 18 months. The so-called recovery has been on for five years. We now have a quarter of contraction. You compare it with the Reagan recovery, the average for the six years after his recession was a growth of over 4%. Here, it is between 1% and 2%. So we have high unemployment, chronic sort of discontent, and that underlies everything.
You add onto that the fiasco of Obamacare, self-inflicted. They can't even put a web site together for half-a-billion-dollars and then you add the VA crisis, which isn't only incompetence, but a kind of banality, a whiff of corruption and there's a moral component.
People can understand abusing the IRS for political [reasons] and all of that, but these are veterans. These are people everybody wants to honor and take care of. So add them all together and Shinseki is a dead man. What you heard today was an invitation for a resignation. And I think he's gone by the weekend.

I like KRAUTHAMMER because he isn't some stuffy douche in a stuffy suit, speaking for the interests of rich old bald dudes who don't give a shit about us normal worker bee peons. He's one of us, baby.

: " Thursday’s CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone challenged Richard Engel, NBC’s chief foreign correspondent, to name a country where U.S. relations have improved since Barack Obama took office more than 5 years ago. After hemming and hawing, Engel admitted that he was unable to do so."
The media realizes they lose all credibility if they don't criticize the record of this president. His foreign policy is in shambles. Domestically? We are 1/2 way toward a recession with the first quarter of 2014 now revised downward to negative growth.

I disagree.
Their "base" will understand the need for fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, fewer regs, shrinking the govt, etc. Many people who are Republican / Independent or who vote that way are not religious, are for or indifferent about gay marriage, etc.
I myself am not religious and not opposed to gay marriage. As a financial advisor who has advised wealthy gay clients, gay marriage often makes sense from a financial / legal point of view. And I believe 2 people who want to wed should be allowed to, regardless of why or what genders they are.
And I personally know many Dems who are devoutly religious, pro-life, even anti-gay, etc. They're Dem because they're a union or govt worker, and because their parents and grandparents were Dem 50+ years ago when the Dems were a different party - before LBJ, civil rights, etc.
