During the Bush administration, leaks out of the Pentagon, State Department, and CIA that would undermine national security were routinely praised by the Democrats and mainstream media as patriotic.
Now that leaks are coming out showing just how inept Barack Obama’s foreign policy dithering has become, leakers must be shut down. The administration is insisting that the Pentagon do something about all the meddlesome leaks that show the behind the scenes indecisiveness rapidly becoming the hallmark of this administration’s foreign policy.
The Obama administration is increasingly exasperated by leaks of national-security-related information and is planning a major effort to root out and punish those responsible, top officials said Thursday.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he is “appalled” by a series of leaks surrounding the president’s deliberations about the way forward in Afghanistan and the investigation into last week’s massacre at Fort Hood, Texas.
Maybe this is why the Obama administration has decided to purge Republicans from the civil service.
Hey, these are hardball politicans.

Just because Bush 43 chose to stand there meekly and absorb a beating, doesn’t mean the Obama White House will.

Truth is the first casualty of war and other cliches.
Achance Thursday, November 12th at 6:18PM EST (link)Trouble is statements like that became cliched because they were SO true. The other trouble is that the vast majority of Americans don’t know or care that there’s a war going on.

Of course they really mean treason to their party, not to the country.
To them it is Party first, Power first, everything/everyone else can go hang.
Thesheeple will figure out we are really in a war...

When we rid Washington of the vermin
olddog Friday, November 13th at 6:00PM EST (link)remember to clean out the cabinets and the bureaus, cause vermin run everywhere. Being free, and vigilant, is the repellent for all kinds of pesky critters. STAND TOGETHER, don’t let them divide us. or they win.

Nasty
rubicon01 Saturday, November 14th at 1:57AM EST (link)Lets face it folks, some of our politicians & their cabal of assistants, plan to get extremely nasty. They mean to eviscerate any who stand in their way. They mean to discard years of political pandering & process. In a sense, this is good. However, the real reason is not to clean up government, but to clean house of any who might show opposition.
Its a purge, w/o gunfire. (At least for now)
One thing is certain. Lessons are being learned & perhaps, just perhaps, what goes around, will in fact, come around!
