  • It, as always, never Obama's fault...well unless something someone else does goes right. Then it is all Obama.

    I think there is good and bad with the Snowden leak, i put it 85 good 15 bad...maybe less bad than that. The federal government under Obama is a terrorist organization. The Founders specifically created this country to escape the tyranny of their government. The government is always a threat to our liberty and must be kept in check. Our government is out of control now. The Obama regime considers over half the country a greater threat than they do islamic terrorists. That is a fact. All things consider I consider Snowden exposing the domestic spying of the Obama regime as a hero and patriot.

  • More likely the cause of the attacks in Paris is because France has 4.7 million Muslims living in the country. That's nearly 10 percent of the population. Snowden sure as hell didn't tell France to alter their demographics.

  • One more point. If a real C in C had been making war on ISIS for the past 18 months, using all the might of the US military without PC ROE, does anyone think ISIS would have the ability to do much of anything? They would have long ago been vanquished. If there is blame for Paris from the US side, it falls on Obama and his PC, confident ignorant way of handling our military and foreign policy.

    • I agree and gave you a TU but the goddamn Euro's ought to have put some skin in the game instead of standing around twisting their hankies while the US did all the dirty work. Say what you want about Putin, but if ISIS tried that shit with Russia, they would quickly run out of virgin goats or whatever in paradise.

      • Thanks. Yes I agree the EU should pull their weight in this thing. But I hardly blame them for not wanting to follow the half-assed plans of Obama to do the job. A real leader would have goaded them into action and had a real plan and vanquished the ISIS bastards in short order. After 18 months of US actions, ISIS was still able to strike as it wished, evidence of the sorry, puny efforts Obama really put into the ISIS strikes.

  • Who to trust? The government who says Snowden is a traitor, or Snowden who exposed some illegal and operational activities of the government? I know for sure, as do the posters here, that the government under BHO is a lie factory. Definitely cannot trust what this government says to be true. So I believe any attempt to tie Snowden to Paris is CYA for government's incompetence or just bad policy toward ISIS. He's been out of the loop for quite a while, but the government hacks hope he is a good fall guy to use in their CYA operation.

    As for Snowden, I tend to think as Racer X does above.

  • Snowden exposed the fact that Quagmire's NSA was spying on everybody without a warrant, words from the Qur'an reduce the scrutiny.

  • Unfortunately, only the CIA knows for sure. Personally, I would think any chain of causation to be too tenuous this far down the road. And, we've been hearing just in the last few weeks how terrorists are using game consoles and self-burning texts to communicate now; I find it hard to believe they wouldn't have migrated to stuff like that by now anyway.

  • If something Snowden leaked can be tied to the attacks in Paris let the French take care of him. If he leaked anything that can be tied to an attack in our country then we can charge him and hang him if convicted of treason.

  • I didn't know Blowden personally, but I know people who did. I work in the same building he did. Live, literally, around the corner from where he lived. NO one has anything good to say about him. He was Pajama boy with a clearance. He was a whinny little girly-man who did nothing but bitch and complain. He was a douche. I do believe he holds some blame for Paris. Let's put it this way: he lied about things in his personal life. What makes you think he's telling the truth about what he "revealed"?

    • HMMM, I don't understand all the animosity to your post Strina.
      One would think that someone with the info you have would be appreciated. I guess there's just no explanation.

    • Sorry StrinaM! Meant to give you a thumbs up! Big finger...small type face. I whole heartedly agree with the assessments of those of you in the business. People need to understand how expensive and difficult setting up a live Intel feed is and just how precarious a thing it is. Think of it as a bit like making the world's most complicated house of cards and you are about to take a selfie with it, to show your friends, and your pain in the ass little brother comes into your room and takes a handful of the cards. All that work -- shot to hell, all that time spent putting all those cards in just the right order -- gone forever, all the people you were trying to impress now think you're a lazy shiftless a-hole and you want to kill the little rat shit, but Mom and Dad won't let you. You just have to bide your time and wait for your chance to push him in front of the school bus, while no one is looking. People like Snowden are pretenders, not heroes. I applaud the fact that he brought some dirty underhanded crap to light, just not the way he did it. He damaged our ability to keep tabs on our enemies, here and abroad. Billions of taxpayer dollars and decades of careful preparation were pissed away in the blink of an eye and many people think this guy is some kind of virtuous heroe. We may never know the extent of the damage Snowden caused. I'll stop short of calling him a traitor, but I don't think of him as a national treasure, not yet...the jury is still out on young Mr. Snowden.

      • Enemies? No, it is the regime that Snowden exposed that is the enemy, the entity slowly smothering the country under it to death in its parasitic embrace.

        An enemy effectively allied to ISIL and Al-Quaida, allied with their sponsores too, that is trying to import millions of moslem "refugees" so that more jihad attacks will occure or worst.
        Some dirty? More like a major pillar of the totalitarian police state they intend to establish and the drone campaign is another one...
        With all these preparations pilling up, they are just not going to leave power peacefully because of things like elections, protests and the will of the peasantry.

  • If we're going to hang Snowden, our idiot President, Vice President, Secretary of State and former Secretary of State and former Speaker of the House and former and current Majority Leaders in the Senate should be standing right next to them on the gallows. Along with several hundred Congress critters. Time for the return of the guillotine?

    • You post beat me to it. As long as we have a rope and a gallows right there, we might as well put it to good use. In fact, if we did them in order, the rope and gallows would be worn out long before we got to Snowden.
