1. CIA aidng the rebels?
Israeli ,   Haifa   (08.02.12)
Aren't they Muslim Brotherhood? And didn't Obama support the Muslim Brotherhood to get into power in Egypt? We are being surrounded by the Muslim Brotherhood with the help of the United States. What does that say?
2. News?
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (08.02.12)
Iran is a critical threat to American interests, but like any Arab-firster Obama preferred to dismantle Israel and abandon America. When he finally had no choice but work for America, Obama realized that the only way to weaken Iran was to overthrow Assad. Although it is both illegal and morally reprehensible to incite a civil war that so far has led to 20000 dead (about half innocent civilians from both sides), Obama is acting according to American realpolitik. History will remember Obama as the man who was so blinded with hatred for Israel and the Jews, that he killed tens of thousands of innocents.

5. # 1 What it says....
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (08.02.12)
It says who need a congress when you have a president that just writes executive orders to get whatever he wants. Congress has given up control and made themselves obsolete. They even let Obama block their investigation of Eric Holder who was running guns to Mexican drug lords. We don't have a president anymore we have a king.
6. I Think Instead Of PULISHING Secret
(08.02.12)
Exc Order, They Should Just YELLED THIS FROM THE ROOF TOPS?
7. Weren't the same talkbackers complaining last week...
Dan ,   NYC   (08.02.12)
...that Obama wasn't doing anything to stop Assad? Yes, yes they were. Now, of course, they're complaining that Obama is doing SOMETHING to stop Assad. The silly hatred for Obama from many on this site is hilarious to watch. The previous talkbacks border on paranoia, especially the ridiculous "Israel Israeli" and her belief that Obama is the driving force behind the civil war in Syria. Special mention goes to the arse-licking Eaglebeak and her poor understanding of the US Constitution.
8. Everytime I see that man sign something...makes me cringe.
Ypip ,   Canada   (08.02.12)
9. If it's such a damn secret,why is the WH leaking it for all
CJ ,   USA   (08.02.12)
to hear?? The answer is because the Pres. would NEVER do anything against muslims, save to kill OBL only to try to boost his ratings for the up coming elections. BHO could care less about Assad killing his people. He will do nothing militarily to stop Iran or any other muslim tyrant! Nor will he do anything to help Israel. Sure he talks big, but as far as actions---the guy shows up missing all the time. He celebrates ramadan, and bows to muslim leaders. Enough said. You can take a muslim out of his country, but you can't take the country out of a muslim. November can't come quick enough to run the muslim out of OUR WH!!!!!!!
10. Hillary Clinton Admits US and Al-Qaeda On Same Side in Syria
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (08.02.12)
Hillary Clinton Admits US and Al-Qaeda On Same Side in Syria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmNRcDexVcY The Christians in Syria live in daily fear and terror. Christians are specifically targeted, attacked and murdered by U.S. backed Al-Qaeda and other U.S. backed rebels in Syria. There is NO-ONE to help the Christians. G-D help them! The Free World's people should be very worried that in country after country, the U.S. constantly takes the side of, and supports hard-line Islamists and Muslim terrorist organizations.
11. Obama-Clinton Intensely HATE Secular Governments
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (08.02.12)
The Obama-Clinton administration has been supporting the rebels for quite some time. By now it is obvious to the whole world that the U.S. is adamantly opposed to secular governments. The ONLY governments they want to rule are hard-line, Islamist governments based on strict, Islamic sharia law. Hillary Clinton : We created Al-Qaeda http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dqn0bm4E9yw What kind of people create a barbaric Muslim terrorist organization?

Nobody is going to lick yours because your head is in the way.
13. Obama's Secret
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (08.02.12)
The leaks to the media of the "secret" program are probably being written now by Obama's campaign people.
