White House mistakenly identifies CIA chief in Afghanistan

It's starting to look that the trip to Afghanistan was just a damage control trip over that the VA was cooking the books under Obama's watch.

Obama is just trying to convince the American people that he likes the U.S. military, he would never use the military for social engineering or allow drag queens to entertain the troops on air force bases or that he trust those serving under his command and would never order the U.S. Marines to hold umbrellas or remove the bolts from their rifles.



I had not seen that aspect...

Thanks
 
Sorry but calls for accountability from the likes you people have to be taken with a grain of salt.

You understand I'm sure.

Given the credibility issues the Left has you can't really expect us to take anything you say seriously.
I see you have thought your line of argument through.....


Why then did you first assume I did not say there should be accountability......then ask if I thought there should be.....and finally.......not believe it when you get an answer?

It seems as though your whole line was totally pointless.....or......you just could not get your "gotcha".

Your line looks really bad either way.....but then it always does.
 
Because if they did, we would have heard about it. But since we didn't, it didn't happen.
Uh....no, it doesn't work like tht in the world of spooks.

Anyone who worked with her would have been viewed as CIA.
 
So then don't respond to that guy's posts....
I can do what I like, and I like pointing out REALLY dumb errors like......yours
You have it all figured out, and categorized as NO BIG DEAL anyway.
Again, I'm willing to bet that those resposible will be delt with.

So far, no takers.
 
On what? More wind and solar subsidies?

among other things, yes. i support hiring people to build roads and bridges, renewable energy power generation, more nuclear power plants, and a vastly upgraded electrical grid.

there's stuff that desperately needs done and a lot of people desperately trying to get into or stay in the middle class. it just makes good sense.
 
:roll: Good grief.

Watch it, J-mac, I have copies of PM's from Gimmesometruth laced with four letter words and name calling due to challenging him/her. He/She doesn't like being challenged.
 
Right wing media? Why is it every time that any issue is raised about Obama that the liberals/progressives in this forum resort to attacks on Bush and pointing out that Bush was reported to have done the same thing as Obama? If you truly disliked Bush that much and was against everything he did then why are you supporting Obama reportedly doing the same thing?

Yeah Conservative. :2wave: I was wondering when the Washington Post turned into the Right wing media.....did they have an epiphany? :lol:
 
How about this. The outing of Valerie Plame was wrong and the person responsible should have been fired. Unfortunately, Armitage resigned before Fitzgerald released the investigation. The outing of the CIA Section Chief in Afghanistan was wrong and the person responsible should be fired. Seems to sum it up rather nicely.

If you think the Plame affair ended at Armitage, you don't know the history at all.

Sounds good.

Wow, you think Verax was referring to the WAPO article in the OP?

Wow? What do you mean by wow? Was your mind blown or something? You mean from my statement to Conservative......something like that would cause you to get so jumpy, and cause sheer amazement?

Lets see he said that on Page 6. Uhm what others links were really put up other than the OP at that point? Tell you what.....go take a look at the first 6 pages I read. Then get back to me.....let me know all those Right wing sources that are linked up, okay? I'll wait before reading any further, alright?

Yes...WOW....you still have no concept of context. Verax in this post:


I think my IQ dropped about 25 points reading this thread. The partisan hacks in this thread... you guys have completely lost touch with reality. You are so utterly brainwashed by right-wing media you are living in a fantasy world.
...was NOT referring to the WAPO article in the OP or RW'ers reading it.

But you certainly assumed such when you posted:

Yeah Conservative. :2wave: I was wondering when the Washington Post turned into the Right wing media.....did they have an epiphany? :lol:


And just to compound your total screw-up....the WAPO editorial dept has loooooonnnnngggg been known as VERY CONSERVATIVE.....even more so now.

Verax was, I believe, referring to wingers denying how bad the Plame affair was.

Like I said, the issue was the brainwashing over the Plame affair was what Verax was referring to, perhaps you should have read further than page 6:

More straw men, I don't support Obama in everything he does. American brought up Valerie Plame playing the victim card on the first page before anyone even said anything. You guys do this in every thread, you lay down every card before anyone even responds and then spend pages throwing a fit about every unfair meme you can muster. It's ludicrous.

Yes, Wow you are in Sheer amazement.....okay, I can live with that. But you will let me know .....if you get ready to go over the edge, Right?

Again I read the first 6 pages and that's where I read up to and came in.....I didn't see all those Right wing sources/media. Or were you trying to say there was a bunch there? Ya sure you don't want to check back and double check? See that's just the point.....I didn't assume. Theres nothing there until later in the thread. Which really it wouldn't even be worth commenting about media at that point.

That's not what I heard was going on with their editorial dept.....allegedly they said Centrists. But then ever since 2008 liberals and their bloggers were tapping their Op-eds which have been pro Obama. Which now after Obama.....they may go back to their Neo Conservative ways. That which you say is Very Conservative. :roll:

You just keep on proving that understanding the CONTEXT of Verax's post is an impossibility.....a complete impossibility. Even AFTER I post his response to Con clearly explaining what "brainwashing" he is referring to, you STILL cannot get it. You cannot review it, understand it.....even when I repost it for you, clearly showing what was being said.

This is so pathetic, I am so sorry I tried to help you.

Carry on as usual, nothing to see here.

Sorry I can't help it you don't understand his post doesn't add up with what I had read up to that point. But don't worry.....it will settle-in once that sheer amazement tones down a bit. Just sayin. :)
 
Comment:

The incompetent Obama White House throws another person under the bus. This isn't the first time that the Obama White House has outed out someone, they outed out a British intelligence informant for political gain back in 2012. Not to mention >"The identities of at least three CIA station chiefs in Pakistan have been exposed in recent years. In one case, a CIA officer became a target of death threats after his cover was blown, forcing the agency to rush him out of the country."<

White House mistakenly identifies CIA chief in Afghanistan

>" The CIA’s top officer in Kabul was exposed Saturday by the White House when his name was inadvertently included on a list provided to news organizations of senior U.S. officials participating in President Obama’s surprise visit with U.S. troops.

The White House recognized the mistake and quickly issued a revised list that did not include the individual, who had been identified on the initial release as the “Chief of Station” in Kabul, a designation used by the CIA for its highest-ranking spy in a country.

The disclosure marked a rare instance in which a CIA officer working overseas had his cover — the secrecy meant to protect his actual identity — pierced by his own government..."<

This makes it very hard for them to now fill the position was with any operative.

I seriously doubt it, but lets hope this is some sort of subterfuge.
 
Well going by those first 6 pages......I did. So again it has no bearing at that point. Just sayin! ;)
It is completely understandable up to that point, and beyond.....IF YOU UNDERSTOOD WHAT HE IS SAYING IN THE FIRST PLACE.

It is one thing to not understand on first pass, but after it has been explained multiple times.....something else entirely is going on.
