From the assault on Bin Laden’s hideout to, today, Stuxnet, there’s no success in the War on Terror the Obama administration won’t take public credit for — even if doing so means leaking what should be classified information to its media allies in order to help them frame the narratives.
Notes Wiliam Jacobson:
I guess you could say this is just good investigative journalism … if you just landed here from Mars and didn’t know that part of the Obama campaign strategy was to tout how tough he has been.
The Times says that its reporting is based on interviews with American, European and Israeli officials, but is it merely coincidence that this report comes so soon after the drone report, or not long after unprecedented access was provided to Hollywood movie makers and NBC news to details and persons involved in the bin Laden raid?
The administration so clearly is leaking these details for political purposes that one has to wonder how much damage we have done to our national security in order to get Obama reelected.
And that’s not even the worst of it. A film based on the Stuxnet is rumored already in the works in which a virtual Obama enters the digital world and does battle with the evil Iranian Mullahs and their cohort bent on completing a cyber-doomsday weapon.
With Obama to be played by Jeff Bridges. Naturally.
At least, that’s what my sources are telling me. Developing…

Your sources crack me up.
Unsourced, I’m only now beginning to get an insight into what I hadn’t been able to grasp before: the reason for those stories that appeared a year or so ago that “the Obama administration was harshly cracking down on ‘leaking’ in a manner never before seen.”
It was all for later cover.
Oron!
David Warner does have some resemblance to Romney.
A film based on the Stuxnet is rumored already in the works in which a virtual Obama enters the digital world and does battle with the evil Iranian Mullahs and their cohort bent on completing a cyber-doomsday weapon.
For plot details, check out the “NanoZim” episode of Invader Zim, Season 1, Episode 2B:
Dib sneaks into Zim’s base, takes incriminating pictures of Zim without his disguise on, and puts them on a floppy disk. Zim discovers Dib and shrinks to microscopic size to enter Dib’s body via microscopic submarine. Zim accesses Dib’s nervous system, giving him control of Dib’s arms, and makes him crush the floppy disk. Dib reveals he has a copy of the disk hidden in his house, so Zim travels to Dib’s brain to wipe the memory of where the disk copy is hidden, and, as an added bonus, damage Dib’s brain to the point where he will never be a threat again. Dib then swallows a mini-submarine (a creation of his dad’s) and begins to fight Zim.
Michelle is no Cindy Morgan however.
Everything is politicized with this clown. Getting re-elected is Job One. Job Only One.
There can be Only One.
FTFY.
And here I was remembering President Bush telling us how there would be silent victories none would hear of in the GWOT…. oh, wait…
I guess if Biden suddenly turns up in Chiba City, we’ll know what’s going on…
A successful attack/compromise does bring on a nearly irresistible urge to brag in newbies.
The smart one resist it.
Remembering the incessant wailing from the Left about Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuush politicizing national security, DOJ, wars, etc … ?

You can totally read Tron: Legacy as a polemic against the current administration if you put Obama in the slot as CLU.
It’s actually almost scarily accurate, given the brainwashing of innocents into soldiers for the cause and all.
WHI will play the part of Tron. But get a better ending.
