Obama's war against his own military: a brief but critical list:

 From the UK Guardian because the American press did not want you to know:

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. 

Editor's notes:  Understand that this Administration indicts itself on charges of "gross incompetence," over and over again, almost on a daily basis.  This(the story, above) is, yet,  another sad example of this suicidal phenomena.   

If you are keeping score,  as am I,  you can add this bit of inexcusably pathetic idiocy to a growing list that includes: 

1.  Announcing a surge in Afghanistan while telling the enemy when that surge would be withdrawn.  

2.  Using network news to announce the effects and identities of  personnel used in an under-cover CIA work in Yemen,  resulting in the deaths of a number of American allied forces involved in a clandestine network of spies who had been working (unknown) in the terrorist networks coming out of Yemen.  As a result,  lives were lost and the "program" was shut down.  

3.  Installing a "catch and release" policy in Afghanistan,  giving our forces only 72 hours to transfer a captive,  from the battlefield to an approved prison site  (there are no more than 3 such facilities in the country),  or release them without their weapons,  back into the terrorist fighting force. 

4. Running to the closest microphone and announcing both the death of an irrelevant bin Laden and identifying the special forces unit making that kill.  AS A RESULT,  the enemy was able to plot and carry out a revenge attack,  12 weeks later,  killing 32 Navy Seals aboard a military personnel transport copter,   17 of which were members of Navy Seal Team Six,  the unit exposed by Joe The Blow Biden,  the morning after the killing.

Update:  You can read more on this criminal assault against our own forces,  here.  Admittedly,  the reference is quite partisan,  but it is the only source I could find,  quickly,  that presented the truth of this disaster . . .  a disaster initiated by the self-absorbed Joe Biden,  as he announced the new campaign slogan for 2012,  and sentenced 32 soldiers to their deaths,  in that announcement.  

5.  Hoping to announce a "negotiated peace" as an opportunity to give Obama the opportunity to claim "victory,"  when,  in fact,  Obama's negotiated peace is not the result of a military victory,  at all  . . . . .   just words on a paper that, to date,  the Taliban has refused sign.  

We, as a nation,  are being led down the path of "peace at any price,"   for the sake of an undefined and illiterate foreign policy that is convoluted in its lack of definition,  and without direction in its application of some sense of esoteric allegiance to the notion of "fairness to all of mankind."

"Fairness" does not win wars nor protects the populace of any nation  . . . .   never has and never will.  War is hell,  and unless war is fought as an expression of that fact,  it should not enlist our sons to be used as sacrificial pawns.  Democrats believe our youth-filled armies should be the first to die,  in any battle,  and wage war with that premise in mind.  Bush was the first to move away from that criminal nonsense,  and the Left has hated him,  since.  

The late and great news caster,  Paul Harvey,  once built a news cast around his argument that,  the United States,  no longer had to see its soldiers die,  in mass,  in any war,  if only we would use our advanced weaponry to win a war in short order and without friendly deaths.  THAT should be the first priority of any war strategy, but,  sadly,  with Democrat leadership in place,  such is not the case.

One would think that that a "peacenik"  should never to the Commander in Chief,  but,  even that bit of wisdom,  is lost on a Progressive mindset that sees our winning a war, as an act of gross unfairness,  in and of itself.
