7 Julian Assange is going to get a special visit from a SEAL team real soon now.

PSSST - guys, he's hiding in his mother's basement in Switzerland.

8 Frankly, what's likely to be much more interesting are the cables reporting what other world leaders -- and the worthless poseurs in our own State Department -- think of Osama Obama.

I doubt that anyone is anywhere near as adulatory of the Mohammedan Mouthpiece in private as they are when speaking publicly of him.

9 I'd like to return to an earlier question: Why is Julian Assange still alive? Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure either FDR or Kennedy would have made him room temperature by now.

11 How would liberals react if Saint Barry did do something against Hero Assange?

Geez, one can only imagine the snide, snotty, back biting cables going back and forth from the inner city ghetto appointees.

Remember the look the first klingon was captured on film given to an actual beautiful and graceful first lady?  Imagine what went on behind the scenes:

We already know what Sarkozy thinks of Teh Won. For example:

Sarkozy: “We live in the real world, not the virtual world. And the real world expects us to take decisions.

“President Obama dreams of a world without weapons … but right in front of us two countries are doing the exact opposite.

“Iran since 2005 has flouted five security council resolutions. North Korea has been defying council resolutions since 1993.

“I support the extended hand of the Americans, but what good has proposals for dialogue brought the international community? More uranium enrichment and declarations by the leaders of Iran to wipe a UN member state [Israel] off the map.”

Assange isn't a US  Citizen, but the soldier should be court-martialed and executed post-haste.  And I don't care if the leaks make Obama look bad.  This goes beyond partisanship.

28

Right on, Peaches. I just don't get it. The foreign press was first on the story of the cost of the Mumbai trip. Inaccurately, but still. They wanted to slam the shit out of him for something, anything! Meanwhile our own media is still figuring out if they should replace their kneepads or give their jaws a rest for a bit.

29 Hmmm.  Looks like Barry has made some friends in the State Department these past two years, friends who wanted to let the world see just what a combination of Metternich,  Gromyko, Lord Cecil and Ben Franklin our President is.  Or maybe they just have their knives out for some of his foreign policy Commissars Czars, and assorted other Commie fruitcakes that came high-stepping into Washington's genteel foreign policy establishment some twenty-two months ago.

I'm no defender of the manchild, but this cannot be allowed to occur.  This could potentially damage centries old alliances between other powers.. not just us.  I'm sure we've got 'secret' treaties between other countries on file which could be devestating to the peace of the world if they come out.

This could be an existential threat to many countries and all this liberal mental masturbation has to come to an end.  Its time for the adults to take charge and put an end to this NOW.  How is it even possible that we've allowed this spoiled child molester to release secrets just to get on frontline?  No other country in the history of the world would allow this to happen...

This instance would seem to me, to militate against the repeal of DADT policy.

If one soldier can be shown so fanatically devoted to the cause of a political identity group as to commit treason, I'm not sure that that particular identity group should be recognized, much less given preferential treatment in our armed forces.

And for those who say that our military is more egalitarian and meritocratic than the rest of our society, that's all well and good and may even be valid.

As a civilian, I can't help but notice the "special" pre-schools for Annapolis AA candidates and the most egregious case of Nidal Malik Hasan being constantly promoted (despite deep misgivings by supervisors and peers) until he got to walk into Ft. Hood one day and start shooting the joint up.

Political Correctness is just as powerful in the military (if not more so!) as it is in civilian life.

It includes the most glaring display of missing the obvious:

In an effort to avoid the appearance of profiling (even though every seasoned traveler will tell you to avoid the security line with the Muslims ahead of you), I've been subjected to full searches by agents who recognized me from television. Why me, I asked one of them, a Fox fan, as we discussed whether Sean Hannity was really a nice guy (he is). He pointed out the mark on my boarding pass, which had assigned me randomly for supplementary screening. I've seen elderly ladies singled out for searches because they were traveling on one-way tickets. A waste of time, to be sure, but if it makes the system "seem" fairer, fine with me.

A waste of time, a waste of resources, and therefore a loophole that can allow a terrorist to slip through while the TSA wastes its time on "fairness."  It's astounding that Estrich glosses over this basic fact.

54 #54, my guess is that the real point of such ads is not to directly get a husband to buy their wife a car for Christmas (or vice versa), but just to indirectly suggest that a future purchase would please spouse.

PS: those commercials make me vomit.

I think he's supposed to be popular with the general population of the world, since he hates America as much as they do.  The world leaders of course recognize him as a joke incapable of doing anything properly.  And the International media doesn't have anything really invested in his agenda since they aren't in the country and while he's a fellow traveler to most of them they have no need to prop him up since he doesn't forward their agenda in their countries like he does for the media here.

I doubt that this will hurt him in the eyes of the European socialist press and socialist leaders. They'd hump any commie, living or dead, and he's the biggest commie we've ever had. Beyond that, I don't see anything he can do to disenfranchise the 39% that still think he's just fab. As for me, I thought he was a commie asshole before he got elected and I don't see anything that's going to change there either. The only possible surprise is if he has the hots for Sarkozy's wife, but there's a better chance he's got the hots for Sarkozy.

The president doesn't decide what State does. It's their leak, not his. We'll see what they're trying to do when we see what they released.

Assuage may not be a US citizen but that doesn't mean someone can't and shouldn't get to him.  Where exactly is he a citizen of. If they are an ally let them jail him and shut down his operation.  If they aren't punch his ticket for him.  It may be too late to stop the leaks but it would send a strong message to whoever else might think it is a good idea to start making decisions for the USA.  This guy is our enemy.  This isn't a freedom of speach issue.  We look weak and when we look weak people on both sides die.

90 You just know this outfit has some really stupid shit written down.

91 Bear with me on this one. Yeah, this is a tin foil hat post. And no, I don't believe this will happen. Call it a "what if" scenario. A worst case, way out there, what if scenario. Suppose, just suppose, that B.H.O is so incensed by the release, that it causes him so much damage, that he declares a state of emergency, demands all manner of emergency power to contain leaks. These emergency powers gradually expand over time, in the interests of security of course. Two years from now, he imposes new restrictions upon us before the election, curiously when it becomes obvious that his 10% approval rating will translate into him being voted out of office. These new restrictions effectively prevent a viable and fair election, and he refuses to relinquish power on the 20th of Jan 2013. Or an "event" occurs that prevents an orderly transition. Something happens. He stays past his "sell by date". Yeah, I know, it couldn't happen. Then again, our media will never fall in love with an empty suit, with no discernible history, with no experience, hidden backers, and a profoundly un-American world view. They would never let him assume the mantle of president, as they would know that he is profoundly unsuited to the task. No... wait ... they did this ... So maybe that far out ridiculous scenario ... no ... couldn't be. Not possible.

92 OT but Philly-area Morons, 1210AM WPHT is going "full moderate" and dumping Beck and Hannity on January 3rd.  Only Rush will survive the purge.

Those 3 golden hours make that station's nut every week.

For me, I tend not to listen to the "big" AM station in my town (which also carries Beck and Hannity) unless it's during Limbaugh hours.

I'm lucky though, in my market, I have another AM talker (mostly Salem) and more recently an FM which has really funny local rabble rousing in addition to some "2nd tier" shows which I find I like much more than the biggies.

(I tend to drive around a lot for my work.)

Examples include Jerry Doyle, Boortz and Levin (I rarely listen to him anymore now that he's on at 7:00 PM my time.  I just so associate listening to radio with being at work that I just won't do it, once I get home.)

I remember the first Tea Party in my city which was heavily promo'd by the "new" FM talk station in my town.  Morning "shock-talker", only person I'd ever heard analyze local city council politics on the air made a big splash early on and was very funny, to boot.

Later on that day, a "local institution", a very familiar radio voice took to the stage and blinked at the crowd in confusion.  He mumbled something or other about 20+ years of covering politics, urged moderation above all else and said that this might possibly be a good idea if no one goes too far and then BOOMED out the call letters of the station and introduced a tape recording of Rush Limbaugh's CPAC speech.

At that moment I was hit by an almost electric bolt of pathos, when I realized:

Dude.  The only reason you have a show in this town, is because you are the lead in to Limbaugh.

That's sad.

He was eventually replaced.

Financed his own broadcast (LOL!) for a while and has been picked up by the local Salem affiliated station but as much as I love Dennis Prager, I just don't see Mr. Prager kicking many listener ears back down into the earlier AM time-slot!

102 <sub><sup>97 Bear with me on this one. Yeah, this is a tin foil hat post. And no, I don't believe this will happen. Call it a "what if" scenario. A worst case, way out there, what if scenario.

Suppose, just suppose, that B.H.O is so incensed by the release, that it causes him so much damage, that he declares a state of emergency, demands all manner of emergency power to contain leaks. These emergency powers gradually expand over time, in the interests of security of course.

Two years from now, he imposes new restrictions upon us before the election, curiously when it becomes obvious that his 10% approval rating will translate into him being voted out of office. These new restrictions effectively prevent a viable and fair election, and he refuses to relinquish power on the 20th of Jan 2013. Or an "event" occurs that prevents an orderly transition. Something happens. He stays past his "sell by date".

Yeah, I know, it couldn't happen.

Then again, our media will never fall in love with an empty suit, with no discernible history, with no experience, hidden backers, and a profoundly un-American world view. They would never let him assume the mantle of president, as they would know that he is profoundly unsuited to the task.

No... wait ... they did this ...

So maybe that far out ridiculous scenario ... no ... couldn't be. Not possible. Posted by: John Galt</sup></sub>

Cannot happen. His term ends on 1/20/2013, no ifs, ands, or buts. At 12 noon, if there is no election, whoever is Speaker of the House will become President. This reminds me back in 2000 with the "recounts" in Florida and Billy Jeff saying he would stick around as President until it was decided. He was pretty much informed his ass becomes ex-President at noon on January 20th, no matter what.

"Looks like Barry has made some friends in the State Department these past two years, friends who wanted to let the world see just what a combination of Metternich,  Gromyko, Lord Cecil and Ben Franklin our President is."

Hillary!

104 With his popularity flagging at home, one of his remaining political strengths has been his high standing abroad...

If his countrymen don't like him, then whether the Europeans, Russians, or the Chinese like him or not matters little.

105

If you'll allow me a serious moment... who here doesn't think the NSA or other security agency could pull the plug on Wikileaks sever or any other that would publish these documents? In truth, Obey wants the leaks to happen.

Now then.. back to the frivolity.

106 This could also be a way for Obama to exert control over the Internet, for national security reasons.

107 Like Obi-Won gives a rat's posterior about US interests?  I don't think he even cares much about his own image given that he's probably got the puppet golden parachute waiting for him when his time's up.  He's going to go off to some dinky island and golf his life away.  His main objective is to bring us down. 

108 52 Oh, for the love of crap.

109 97 John Galt Alternatively, the leaks don't bother him since they damage U.S. foreign relations.

110 I don't listen to the talk shows on PHT anyway...for half of the year, they're broadcasting the Phillies games anyway. I stick to the satellite, and for my Rush fix, I go online and listen there. Smerconish is a major-league dick, I do remember hearing him taunt Giuliani about how he (Smerconish) was going to vote for Obama...because Lord Zero promised to attack Pakistan. Rudy may be the most solid conservative but he basically ripped Smerconish a new one for that. Haven't listened since.

111 45 years of cables are going to be released.

112 52 - I would imagine you can get Rush and Hannity in Philly on ABC 770 out of New York. I can pick that up in the car here in CT and almost the whole way into Boston when I drive up that way.

113 Can't say that I'm too broken up about Hannity going....his heart's in the right place but he doesn't argue his position well and spouts too many cliches.

114 The question lost in all this is where did he get all of the papers he is going to release. He unfortunately isn't the only problem. How does one go about getting 1,000,000 papers from the state department, maybe we have a few traitors in our midst? This large number of papers can't have just waltzed out the door via Sandy Berger, no we have a very large and dangerous problem that needs fixing and fast.

115 we can only hope

116 Dems may show Barak what the underside of the bus looks like if this proves true.

>> John Frum @ #49: I'm no defender of the manchild, but this cannot be allowed to occur.  This could potentially damage centries old alliances between other powers.. not just us. 

It'll be fine. They still have that RESET button, right?

>> #49: I'm sure we've got 'secret' treaties between other countries on file which could be devestating to the peace of the world if they come out.

If you're referring to Blue Öyster Cult's 1974 release Secret Treaties, it can only be a good thing if all the world's leaders have it.

118 Unfortunately, the 'dirt' being disclosed on Obama thru this leaked embassy communications traffic is a relatively inconsequential consideration. The real damage is on the crypto-analysis side.  These leaked messages are 'plaintext'. Countries such Russia, China, India, Israel, France, Pakistan, Germany, etc., etc. will now go to their hard drives and pull up the encrypted copy of those messages - which they will be able to figure out in a matter of seconds.

You now have the encrypted version to compare with the plaintex version, and literally millions of messages to compare for frequency analysis.  This potentially could be an absolute nightmare for the U.S.

119 This is mean and I hope all Americans ignore this. This is nothing but a scam to destroy president obama. These people should go to jail forever. We the people of Brattleboro do not support this and think this is disgusting  !!!!

120 An upstart?

121

I don't think they can execute the leaking soldier because we are not in a declared war

 

Uh, I think they can.

122 Solid point @125.
