Bill Whittle: "Turncoat Nation"

One of our favorite conservatives, Bill Whittle, is back again with his takes on Obama and his Chicago-style politics, some of the gangsters in his administration and his campaign team, and a couple of the “usual progressive suspects.”

 

I could not have said it better myself...  I will say, however, mine would have included a lot more "colorful" language.

U.S. officials: Russian Submarine Sailed in Gulf of Mexico Undetected for Weeks

For those readers too young to remember the so-called cold war between the Soviet Union and the United States of America or the Cuban Missile Crisis in October, 1962, you may be wondering, using the vernacular of VP Biden, “what’s the big F-ing deal with a Russian submarine entering the Gulf of Mexico?”

The Washington Free Beacon reported on August 14 that a Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine armed with long-range cruise missiles operated undetected in the Gulf of Mexico for several weeks.

Now who do you suppose might have invited our Russian friends to play with their nuclear-powered attack submarines in the United States’ backyard?

But first, let's recap a couple a few of the facts:

A Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine armed with long-range cruise missiles operated undetected in the Gulf of Mexico for several weeks and its travel in U.S. strategic waters was only confirmed after it left the region.  Where was the U.S. Coast Guard?  That's a pretty big fish to go undeteced for weeks.

What about the Department of Homeland Security?  Where was Janet Napolitano at some frat house party?

Below is A file photo taken in Brest harbor, western France, on September 21, 2004, showing the Vepr Russian nuclear submarine of the Project 971 Shchuka-B type, or Akula-class (Shark) by NATO classification, the same type as the Nerpa Russian nuclear submarine.

For all of you cynics out there, I am—of course—aware that Obama has "reset" U.S. relations with this one-time enemy.  And I am keenly aware that Obama has discussed campaign strategy with Russia’s former President Dmitry Medvedev several months ago, right before Medvedev left office.

The risk of another war with Georgia, a former Soviet Union satellite is certainly not “bloody likely.”

Then again, it isn’t as though Russia, under its current president, Vladimir Putin is yuckin’ it up with many  sworn enemies of the United States and our closest ally in the Middle East.

Dishonorable Disclosures Carry Life and Death Consequences

"When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen; and we shall most sincerely rejoice with you in the happy hour when the establishment of American Liberty, upon the most firm and solid foundations shall enable us to return to our Private Stations in the bosom of a free, peacefully and happy Country.”

George Washington in address to the New York Legislature, June 26, 1775 

(Above) Obama, Biden and members of the national security team watch in the Situation Room of the White House on May 1, 2011, as “Operation Geronimo" unfolds.

This morning, OPSECTeam released a video with hopes of stopping narcissistic politicians, including Barrack  Obama and others from politically capitalizing on U.S. national security operations and secrets.

This honorable group comprised of Intelligence and Special Operations forces is furious and frustrated at how this president and those in positions of authority in his adminitration have exploited their service for political advantage. Countless leaks, interviews and decisions by the Obama Administration and other government officials have undermined the success of our Intelligence and Special Operations forces and put future missions and personnel at risk.  This latest Obama administration scandal is not the first time Obama and his dishonorable, virtueless minions have turned a blind eye on our country’s front line security forces.

The unwarranted and dangerous public disclosure of Special Forces Operations is so serious -- that for the first time ever -- former operators have agreed to risk their reputations and go 'on the record' in a special documentary titled "Dishonorable Disclosures." Its goal is to educate America about serious breaches of security and prevent them from ever happening again.
