BOMBSHELL: Al-Qaeda Infiltrator was Working for Brits not CIA, Cover Blown for Election Year Politics

Just a week ago the establishment media was aflutter with news that a CIA double-agent had thwarted a new type of underwear bomb attack targeting U.S. flights in a plot devised by al-Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula.

But as the week progressed, a developing bombshell story got buried under President Obama’s gay marriage announcement. Not only is the supposed CIA asset not a CIA asset at all, but the entire operation was exposed prematurely and the double-agent’s life was immediately threatened by an intelligence leak that very well may have come out of the White House for political gain.

As the story broke, the establishment media was more than happy to attribute the intelligence coup to the CIA and the Obama administration, describing the mole as a “CIA informant.”

It turns out that wasn’t true. The double-agent hadn’t been recruited and placed by the CIA, but by British intelligence, who also managed the operation. In fact, the Americans had only recently been made aware of the joint British-Saudi effort.

The leaks about the operation from the American side have infuriated British intelligence officials, who had hoped to continue the operation. The leaks not only scuttled the mission but put the life of the asset in jeopardy. Even CIA officials, joining their MI5 and MI6 counterparts, were describing the leaks as “despicable,” attributing them to the Obama administration.

As the stillborn investigation into the leaks continues (stillborn, because if the leaks are in fact traced to the White House, there will be no repercussions), the zeal with which the establishment media trumpeted the supposed CIA coup won’t likely be surpassed by the more important story of how the Obama administration attempted to score political points at the expense of one of the most important intelligence operations since 9/11.

Nor is it likely that the establishment media, particularly the Associated Press stooges who broke the story, will examine its own role as handmaiden to the administration’s scuttling of this sensitive intelligence operation for apparent political gain and betrayal of our foreign intelligence service partners.

If it turns out that Obama or his staff lleaked this for political purposes , I am going to vote against him fifteen times.

Why not?

It isn't like I have to present ID every time.

The important thing is that the bombing was prevented.

Voting for Romney will not prevent his government from doing the same thing, if you assume that they did the wrong thing.

Any story like this will get out if enough people know about it. It does not matter which party is in charge.

Using a vote to "punish" some minor thing like this is like honking in traffic at some idiot who cut you off.

It will teach him nothing, and it will not prevent such behavior from anyone, ever.

  This is no minor thing!

   There are only just so many people who are talented, motivated and placed well to become double agents.

    Wasteing one of them is like killing one of our own regiments.
     Killing the confidence of the potential agent that his secrets will be kept prevents recruitment and retention.

     I am not certain that BHO or his staff is at fault, but IF they are it is in no way minor.
