Morning everyone………A warm 113 degrees yesterday and a less warm 111 degrees today in the great desert Southwest….(what’s two degrees among friends). A very good day to stay in under the A/C and play on the computer….Went shopping with the Mrs. yesterday and was not a good day to buy ice cream….anyway, where is Sarah and what is she doing? Glad to see Chuck jr checking on us and I hope Bestbud’s spirits are lifted with the knowledge that so many people are praying for him and his family…..NEWS FLASH……unemployment rises…8.2% I would say that number is closer to 10%…..Someone please tell me how they can count people that are looking for work and those not looking for work?  Impossible.. When I collected unemployment back in 2008, I filed on-line and no one every ask me about work or if I had stopped looking for work. I was looking, but no one asked. Well that’s it for now….everyone have a great day and weekend ….

Crueladev, thanks for the news round up and prayers for Bestbud.

The latest bone-headed move by the Obama administration?

US officials leak claims of credit for Stuxnet in partnership with Israel
http://hotair.com/archives/2012/06/01/us-claims-credit-for-stuxnet-in-partnership-with-israel/

In an effort to enhance Obama’s foreign policy credentials, US officials leaked this claim to the NYT, playing up Obama’s role.

So, where is the outrage by Ed Morrissey over at Hotair? Oh sure, he is upset that the NYT article downplays Bush’s role and believes the leak is designed to give Obama cover over the failed negotiations with Iran concerning it’s nuclear program.

The real problem? What the heck is the Obama administration thinking in leaking any details about classified operations of this nature?

For political reasons, we have seen:

- A Saudi double agent outed;

- a Pakistani Doctor who helped us in the fight against Al Qaeda jailed for 33 years for “treason;” and

- now, acknowledgement of a highly classified effort to thwart Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

In addition, we have found that Obama has taken an obsessive interest in “Kill Shots,” exposing for everyone to see that Obama is a dangerous, disturbed and weak leader.

Dangerous because rather than capturing terrorists for intelligence purposes he has decided to simply kill them. Yes, sometimes that is necessary, but an across the board policy? This policy also reflects his attitude towards his political opponents. No interest in finding solutions, just destroy them, and the socialist keep screaming about bi-partisanship. Right.

Disturbed, because like LBJ before him during the Vietnam war, he has become obsessed with micro-managing the effort against al Qaeda.

Weak and lacking in leadership skills, because his micro-managing of this effort shows that he is unable to delegate to those better suited to carry out this fight.

While the Iranians may well have surmised the role of the United States and Israel in this operation, the leaking of this information provides confirmation and justifies the Iranians taking retaliatory action. The likely result? Innocent lives being lost. When people are killed, will the NYT acknowledge that Obama has blood on his hands for authorizing the leak, as well as themselves for printing the report?

Why would any individual or nation want to co-operate with us, knowing that the operation may be leaked to assuage Obama’s political ambitions?

Talk about a direct threat to national security.
