Moderate hero Obama is mad that the truth got out.

Indeed so.


"The White House responded swiftly and sharply to publication Sunday evening of more than 91,000 secret documents painting a bleak picture of the Afghanistan war, calling the leak “irresponsible” and saying that the source – the whistleblower website WikiLeaks — “opposes U.S. policy in Afghanistan.”

The administration seems to have a candor problem if this is even remotely true. Not good. The biggest mistakes administrations often make, is hiding the ball. When caught, sometimes administrations don't recover. That is one of the things that put down that pathological liar, LBJ, and of course Nixon.

Obama seems determined to make all of the mistakes of the previous administration, because that's the moderate hero way. Obama just didn't like that Bush was President because it meant that Obama wasn't President.

Translation:  Obama and Bushie are nearly identical in foreign affairs.  Very true.

Really?  What does this mean?

"The documents posted by Wikileaks reportedly cover a period of time from January 2004 to December 2009. On December 1, 2009, President Obama announced a new strategy with a substantial increase in resources for Afghanistan, and increased focus on al Qaeda and Taliban safe-havens in Pakistan, precisely because of the grave situation that had developed over several years."

Again, blame Bush and contradict his own National Security Advisor:

"On Monday, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs dismissed the reports, saying they represent a disjointed series of snapshots of the war effort from 2004 to 2009 — before Obama announced his new strategy that relies on increased deployments and an attempt to stand up Afghan civilian and military authorities."
