Sarah Palin Slams Obama Administration Over Inept Handling of Wikileaks Disaster

“Most disturbing is the way she seems to enjoy causing suffering to other beings.”
–Far Left Fish Rights Group on Sarah Palin
Last week Sarah Palin went to bat on poor sea halibut. Today she clubbed the Obama Administration.
Sarah Palin clubbed the Obama Administration like a sea halibut today over their inept handling of the Wikileaks disaster.
Already we are seeing fallout in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. And, there is much more to come!
From her Facebook Page:
We all applaud the successful thwarting of the Christmas-Tree Bomber and hope our government continues to do all it can to keep us safe. However, the latest round of publications of leaked classified U.S. documents through the shady organization called Wikileaks raises serious questions about the Obama administration’s incompetent handling of this whole fiasco.
First and foremost, what steps were taken to stop Wikileaks director Julian Assange from distributing this highly sensitive classified material especially after he had already published material not once but twice in the previous months? Assange is not a “journalist,” any more than the “editor” of al Qaeda’s new English-language magazine Inspire is a “journalist.” He is an anti-American operative with blood on his hands. His past posting of classified documents revealed the identity of more than 100 Afghan sources to the Taliban. Why was he not pursued with the same urgency we pursue al Qaeda and Taliban leaders?
What if any diplomatic pressure was brought to bear on NATO, EU, and other allies to disrupt Wikileaks’ technical infrastructure? Did we use all the cyber tools at our disposal to permanently dismantle Wikileaks? Were individuals working for Wikileaks on these document leaks investigated? Shouldn’t they at least have had their financial assets frozen just as we do to individuals who provide material support for terrorist organizations?
Most importantly, serious questions must also be asked of the U.S. intelligence system. How was it possible that a 22-year-old Private First Class could get unrestricted access to so much highly sensitive information? And how was it possible that he could copy and distribute these files without anyone noticing that security was compromised?
The White House has now issued orders to federal departments and agencies asking them to take immediate steps to ensure that no more leaks like this happen again. It’s of course important that we do all we can to prevent similar massive document leaks in the future. But why did the White House not publish these orders after the first leak back in July? What explains this strange lack of urgency on their part?
We are at war. American soldiers are in Afghanistan fighting to protect our freedoms. They are serious about keeping America safe. It would be great if they could count on their government being equally serious about that vital task.

Terrific!

That picture cracks me up. Think of those Halibut as LIBTARDS and Sarah is beating them like Baby seals.
Ba da da da da!! I’m lovin’ it.
Tom commented:
That’s pretty pathetic, and it goes a long way in illustrating the lack of dignity conservatives in this country have anymore.
This woman was a vice-presidential candidate and now she’s filming a reality television show (which no one is watching) and leaving political rants on her facebook page.
Conservatives simply have no dignity or self-respect.

in there lies the huge difference, not only between Palin & Obama, but
Bush & Obama, also why Bush is beloved & respected vs whatever the
puff ‘n’ stuff is demanded of our troops towards CIC Obama.. as it was
towards first lady Hillary..

And you know all of this how Tom? Been reading Sarah’s facebook page, or do you just repeat everything you hear?
And if Conservatives are so detestable why come here and have anything to do with them? You know you’re just going to get kicked in the teeth.You bring all of these bad feelings on yourself Tom. Now just who is it with no dignity or self respect? Run along now. You’re bothering me.
OLD FAN commented:
Well we all are stating the obvious, including Mrs. Palin. Connecting her fishing expeditions on a ‘reality tv’ show, are fine comedic relief from the amazing Mr. Hoft.
It is all a disaster, but no one should assume these leaks are solely from the 22 Year Old Private. This is the Democratic Partisan way, which has turned to bite them terribly – leaking prior to embarrass their political enemies.
But frankly, I just don’t see it as “terrific” Mr. Hoft. First off, why did Sarah give credit to the US Government for the failed attack by the “Christmas-Tree Bomber”? Doesn’t she realize Janet Napolitano was wrong, the “system did NOT work” in this case? It is as if Mrs. Palin is not on top of her game still.
Also, and this is regretful, Mrs. Palin’s Celebrity Partisan status will only distract from the horrid Obama Administration and the disastrous Clinton State Department. That is the problem with a Our new Celebrity Icon, as many will see this as only partisan politics – and those who only tend to hype Mrs. Palin’s offering instead of the Team as a whole. Many I encounter, Independents, Republicans, and the horrid Democrats often ask if Sarah even writes these Facebook offerings herself, as they often offer far more substance and articulation than her own offering in various interviews. This remains a problem for Mrs. Palin.
Regardless, one can only agree with much of the offering, even if it is stated far better by so many others. Thankful Sarah is on the right side.
The biggest joke of all is knowing Hillary Clinton sent out a signed order seeking the “DNA” of various Diplomats who are Our Allies – like those from Great Britain. Reminds one of the old “FBI Filegate”. She should certainly know better than to leave such an overt paper trail, which clearly violates the UN agreements and international law.
As much as this fool from WIKI should be treated as a terrorist, the revelations only have embarrassed the Democratic Partisan sophistry even further. Actually confirmed the Bush Administration was truly sound as well.
A real pure irony.
Chisum commented:
Good grief Old Fan/ BROOKLYN. Get over yourself! And please get over your raging case of PDS. Do you honestly think that we can’t see past your transparent attempt to belittle Palin at every opportunity?
You are positively Pavlovian. Jim puts up a Palin thread and there you are.
Mike123 commented:
I love what wikileaks has done. Its exposed so much falsehood and truth, much like sunshine is the best disinfectant. There will be lots of re-prioritization that wouldn’t have happened if the DC elites could have kept their secrets.
NeoKong commented:
You have to wonder the seriousness of the Obama administration to stop these leaks.
I would like people to remember that when the Lockerbie bomber was released from prison because he was “dying” that we were all told how furious Obama was and then later we learn he knew all about it.
How many times have we been deliberately lied to…?
More often then not.
So when you look at this Assange guy and what belief system he has you have to consider that if he wasn’t the boogie man in all this he would probably one of Obama’s czars.
He would fit right in.
If Jeremiah Wright, Van Jones, Anita Dunn, Donald Berwick, Bill Ayers and Marshall Davis were all in a room together they would be happy to see Julian Assange.
He is one of them.

Actually, I would love to see Sir Obama to place his ‘member’ on the handrail and see Sweet Sarah club the living sh*t out of it! I mean really TENDERIZE that little 2″ dingle – give him something to really whine about. Banjo Butt FLOTUS wouldn’t be missing anything anyway!

LOL! I love Sarah Palin!
RefudiateObama2012 commented:
OLD FAN, she was referring to the recent bombing attempt that the FBI stopped, not the Christmas bomber. It is as if you are not on top of your game still.
Friend of USA commented:

Exactly.
As far as we know Obama’s friends and “mentors” were all anti-Americans.
Why would Obama stop another anti-American from doing damage to the USA?
He is the President, he is pretty much untouchable, what has he got to lose ?
Bill Ayers and other crazy people like him tried for years to damage/change the USA from without and failed…but having one powerful ally on the inside is even better.
Obama is sort of a Trojan horse for them.
I could be wrong, but so far very little makes me doubt that Obama is anti-American.
And even if I’m wrong he is still too nonchalant to be taken seriously.

why does Sarah Palin need to do anything, is she VP or something??
and i disagree, the left may hate her, but they can hear her, ergo, many have probably learned more about “the horrid Obama Administration” from her in the past couple of years alone than they ever would have in their lifetime..

Sara is my hero. I caught a 60 lb halibut fishing out of Homer Alaska summer before last. That fish was violent when flipped on to the deck of the boat. A clubbing is necessary to prevent collateral damage. The beating she gave the administration over the poor handing of the document release was excellent… the administration had a known problem with wikileaks since the summer and failed to do squat

OLD FAN commented:
LOL – Now I have “PDS” !
Amazing. So no Conservative can question anything? You dare question the Palin Celebrity and you are demeaned, debased, belittled, etc? It is not conservatism – and makes my point completely.
Get over myself? Please, that is classic. No doubt my humble opinion could be mistaken. But there really are some who believe they are Conservative, who cannot handle any honest insight, or expression, which isn’t “Golly gee – rah, rah, rah – Sarah Palin is the Sun – Our entire World revolves around the Hockey Mom”?
So, anyone who isn’t a Celebrity HYPE pusher, should be burned at the stake!
That sure is a fine Image – Identity Movement, nothing to do with Conservatism. The same nonsense which produced the Miller flop in Alaska, and the O’Donnell fiasco in Delaware – and no, do not aSSume I am not a very conservative fan of the Gateway Pundit. I was intensely against McCain – the Maverick failure.
Long ago, even in the early days of the Freepers, this Celebrity fan fare would produce laughter.
Perhaps someday we can return to the days of WFB, when we focused on basis, objectivity, honesty, reality, facts, etc.

Yep, PDS. You have it bad!

albeit easy to mix up, but a mix up all the same..
Christmas Tree Bomber
[The war on Christmas continues. Last year it was the "underpants bomber," this year 19-year-old Mohamed Osman Mohamud, who allegedly planned to blow up a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in Portland, Ore., but was foiled by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force.]
links @ links..
It’s War, not a Crime Spree
[President Obama’s meeting with his top national security advisers does nothing to change the fact that his fundamental approach to terrorism is fatally flawed. We are at war with radical Islamic extremists and treating this threat as a law enforcement issue is dangerous for our nation’s security. That’s what happened in the 1990s and we saw the result on September 11, 2001. This is a war on terror not an “overseas contingency operation.” Acts of terrorism are just that, not “man caused disasters.” The system did not work. Abdulmutallab was a child of privilege radicalized and trained by organized jihadists, not an “isolated extremist” who traveled to a land of “crushing poverty.” He is an enemy of the United States, not just another criminal defendant.]

OLD FAN commented:
RefudiateObama2012 – Thanks. I knew that, I just poorly worded my quickly typed offering.
I should have explained more clearly, to give credit to the “man made disaster’ Administration – Government is only a waste – for all of the structures put into place to stop the Terrorist after 9-11 were largely created, produced, provided by the Bush Administration – and the Republican Majority Leading the Congress at the time. Obama, Holder, Napolitano, etc., had nothing, if little to do with the Oregon effort. Their weakening of the effort, in attempt to put this solely into the hands of the FBI – to make it a pure Law Enforcement issue, returning to the Clinton Administration Malfeasance which enabled the very worst – is part of the problem.
I strongly feel the issue should not be ceded. I think Mrs. Palin might be trying to be polite, but I think the credit is mistaken.
No doubt I phrased it poorly, but Team Obama is a disaster. They have no clue, and should not be given any undue credit for anything.
OLD FAN commented:
LOL !
Chisum with more weak name calling.
Again, terrible in terms of Conservatism. It isn’t Conservative.
It is fashion and fan fare. I liked Mrs. Palin very much when I was made aware of her Governorship in the early days in Alaska via the Anchoress. But the hype is indeed overt.
The name calling is obvious – fashionable fan fare, and rather ugly.
Reminds one of how some treated Karl Rove for some honest insight regarding the “reality tv show” which some could not be honest was indeed a “reality tv show”.
The fashion has grown beyond hype, and is now is becoming a joke.

that, but if she didn’t make mistakes, i wouldn’t trust her for one iota of

[.......recalls that only last year the New York Times ostentatiously declined to publish or post any of the Climategate emails because they had been illegally obtained. Surely readers will recall Times reporter Andrew Revkin's inspiring statement of principle: "The documents appear to have been acquired illegally and contain all manner of private information and statements that were never intended for the public eye, so they won't be posted here."]

The pervert Assange is like the trolls haranguing Sarah Palin a paid operator for George Soros as was revealed by Glen Beck today. Assange the freak’s connection to Soros leavies little doubt wikileaks is another effort by Gyorgy Schwartz the teenage nazi kapo larcenist efforts to destroy American strength asssisted by Barry Sotero . Both Sotero and Soros share the goal of destroy ing the US for his new world order not ulike Ovomit’s he’s just a guy in the neighborhood, Van Jones, Anita Dunn, and all the rest Ovomit’s czar commies.
Just a reminder Chelsea Clinton was marrried at a Soros owned estate in Connecticut so give Hitlary’s words zero credence.

The Obama regime is not serious about stopping the leaks. They are the ones who are providing them with the material. It’s truly astounding to here Peter King and Joe Lieberman attack wiki leaks when the enemy is right there in the White House, State Department, etc. For heavens sake, are they this dense?
I heard tonight on Michael Savage that when the owner of Wikileaks needed funding to start his business, he turned to the OSI(Open Society Institute.) Who is the OSI, none other then George Soros of course, Obama’s puppet master. Obama is the enemy within. We all know that. Either they are this stupid or they are part of it and are covering for him.

Old Fart has finally lost his nerves and exploded his vomit like a fuel-air bomb.
The creep is now producing his rants even on Pajamas Media where he is indulging himself in Palin-bashing.
Nobody knows him there yet but I managed to detect the old worm and give him some clubbing.
I have explained to old moron some two months ago why there is a ZERO possibility of anything resembling the Palin-personality cult.
However the old idiot is like a drug addict addicted to his own prejudices and thus unable to free from them by himself.
Palin’s fans react so impulsively because she has been treated not only by Obama’s propaganda, communo-fascist machine but also by the GOP NOMENKLATURA badly enough and long enough and with an unprecedented dishonesty.
Therefore the good folks says: “Enough is enough!”
So if you have that alcoholic-like urge to spew your venom there is enough space on HufPo, WashPo, DailyKos and thousands other garbage processing sites where you shall feel like at home.
