[Iran Press TV] US Senator John Maverick McCain ... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution... has accused the White House of leaking details of a cyber attack and other secret operations against Iran in order to increase his chances in the upcoming elections.
"Again we see these leaks to the media about ongoing operations, which is incredibly disturbing. Doesn't this give some benefit to our adversaries?" McCain told news hounds in Singapore on Saturday.
The New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... reported on Friday that Obama secretly ordered a cyber attack with the Stuxnet computer virus against Iran to sabotage the country's nuclear energy program "from his first months in office."
"Mr. Obama decided to accelerate the attacks - begun in the Bush administration and code-named Olympic Games - even after an element of the program accidentally became public in the summer of 2010 because of a programming error," the report added.
"We know the leaks have to come from the administration. And so we're at the point where perhaps we need an investigation," said McCain, who was defeated by Obama in the 2008 presidential election.
"So this is kind of a pattern in order to hype the national security credentials of the president and every administration does it. But I think this administration has taken it to a new level."
In July 2010, media reports claimed that Stuxnet had targeted industrial computers around the globe, with Iran being the main target of the attack. They said the country's Bushehr nuclear power plant was at the center of the cyber attack.
However, those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things... Iranian experts detected the virus in time, averting any damage to the country's industrial sites and resources.

Lefty Glen Greenwald has something similar on Salon where he accuses Obama of prosecuting leaks while also orchestrating them.

"US Navy Seals removed one threat to the Security of America. It is now up to the American Voter to remove the other."

Although he denies being present, I saw a photo of Axelrod in the National Security Council meeting--Congressman accusing Axelrod as the conduit to the NYSlimes. Awaiting video of a good brawl while the popcorn is in the microwave...

I agree with you Darth.
Sometimes he really gets it - like here "So this is kind of a pattern in order to hype the national security credentials of the president and every administration does it. But I think this administration has taken it to a new level."
We lose assets and element of surprise every time Obama opens his cake hole.

I'll give Obama credit for no energy or immigration policy (other than a leaky border), a p!ss poor economy, companies the Feds invested in that went bust, Fast and Furious, no transparency, for being the most divisive President in history, dishonest, being a narcissist who can't stay out of the limelight at the cost of leaking secrets,...did I miss anything?

IF YOU DON'T LIKE MITT, HERE'S SOMETHING TO CONSIDER
Columnist Andrew McCarthy gives us what probably is the most important question regarding the upcoming presidential election .
Mitt wins the nomination, I will nthusiastically support his candidacy. For my friends who have hesitation on that score, Id just ask you to keep four things in mind:
1.. Justice Scalia just turned 78
2.. Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year
3.. Justice Breyer will be 76 in August
4.. Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago.
We wish them all well, of course, but the brute fact is that whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come.
If you dont think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, I think youre smokin something weird
So for anybody who is thinking of not voting because your favorite didnt get nominated, or writing in a candidate who can't win...
