But, of course, that doesn't mean a damn thing, does it? If Obama's name is attached to it, why it simply MUST be true! :roll eyes:

I've never seen anything like this. Not even when Nixon was in the White House and everybody hated him.
GREAT post stillkit. (And very true.)

Michelle Bachmann is on the Intelligence Committee and has high level clearance to information like this. Seems to me she would be a likely candidate for a leak of this kind......lots of incentive for someone who puts party goals above all else.

Agreed! I once read her described as a "bomb thrower". Now that meant figuratively, but she's nuts!

WH says "No" to independent probe of leaks.

Seems they don't want an independent investigation. They'll take care of matters themselves.
And it's still up in the air whether or not the WH will cooperate with congressional investigations.

If there's a mole in the WH then the WH needs to let independent investigations happen.

Obama spokesman:
President Barack Obama opposes the appointment of a special counsel to investigate whether vital national security secrets were improperly disclosed in a wave of news reports detailing sensitive operations, the White House said Thursday.
..
Carney also declined to say whether the administration would cooperate with congressional investigations into the disclosures. The Senate and House Intelligence Committees have said they will be looking into the matter.

But, this is serious.

Giving out national security secrets for political gain is treasonous.


Nothing is beneath this administration. Yeah, Obama lies to the people of America. We're all used to that.

But putting soldiers in danger to look like a puffed up Liberal is BS.


If this administration cares about America, they will keep the mouths shut.

Obama is the Supervisor -- he is the one who should be held responsible.

So it's the other side then ?
Seems the WH may be thinking differently as they are saying "No" to an independent investigation. The WH also said they don't know if they will cooperate with either the Senate or House investigation committees.

Sounds a little like Fast & Furious eh ?
And Executive privilege lets them keep their dirty secrets secret.

The only leaks are the ones which have been favorable to Obama. No, this is coming from the White House and possibly even the Oval Office.

Outed a CIA operative? Didn't you ever learn that Plame wasn't outed since she had been in the States for some time and nearly everybody knew about her. You really did take the words of the left leaners that were, as you people say, debunked over and over.
