The world has come to one key conclusion–Obama cannot be trusted.

Obama’s Incompetence Endangers America - Larry Johnson/No Quarter

It was no mere coincidence that the Washington Post published a piece co-authored by Bob Woodward, exposing Top Secret details of US drone strikes in Pakistan.

Leaking this information was a deliberate attempt to put the Pakistani Foreign Minister on the defensive. It was a shot from someone on the Obama team at the Pakistani Government to put them on notice that any an every aspect of their secret cooperation with the United States would be exposed if they dared to be too public in their criticism of the Obama Administration.

And all of this comes against the backdrop of a senior NSC staffer being outed and fired for his secret tweeting about the inside baseball of the Obama national security team. This news gives more credibility to the Ulstermann Reports, which have circulated the web over the last five years. In fact, makes me wonder if this guy was in fact Ulstermann. The key revelation from the Jofi tweets concerns Benghazi. He correctly notes that Hillary Clinton carried out a massive cover up of that unmitigated disaster.

These developments are more than juicy grist for comedians and political wonks. It represents a serious decline in American influence, prestige and power in some critical areas of the world.
