You two?

Do you really think the US has the right to criticize anyone for cyber espionage after our recent record in this field? You will note I never implied the US doesn't have a right to DEFEND itself from hacking, we just don't have the right to be so internationally self-righteous about it. We're the laughing stock of the world right now.

It's about as stupid, hypocritical and laughable as John Kerry waving his finger in Putin's face and telling him Russia has no right invading another country because it doesn't like its form of government, considering our record in THAT field.

Now get off your patriotic conservative high horse long enough to actually think this over, instead of throwing the flag in our face. Listen carefully, I am only repeating this once.

We obviously have done a pretty good job of setting a trap for these spies, we know their handles, their names, even their military rank, we know what building they work in and the units they belong to. But because of Holder, now the Chinese know that we know, so they will close the gap in their counter intelligence and set to work opening another one. We could have exploited that ignorance by feeding them bogus data, instead, we warned them we were on to them. That is stupid, stupid, stupid. Even a conservative should be able to figure that out, or are you guys still too busy obsessing about Obamacare?

Furthermore, we know who these guys are and who they work for. If we had kept our mouth shut, we could have waited until they traveled to the US to attend some conference or something (these people do upgrade their knowledge base just like our guys do). After we had access to them, THEN we could have arrested them, blackmailed them, turned them, interrogated them or otherwise neutralized them while they were in our custody, and then we could have thrown a trial and let the world see all the evidence we have collected on them and their masters. It would have been an intelligence coup and a propaganda victory.

But noooooooo. We had to give away our hand before we had a chance to call or raise the bet. And if you weren't so eager to do a little liberal baiting of your own, you would have been able to read between the lines and figure out my post was actually being critical of Holder (and I presume Obama, he must have known about this) for moving prematurely on this.

Now there may be reasons why this happened this way that I don't know about. Maybe the Chinese got wise to our counter intelligence activities and we had no choice but to salvage what little we could out of this affair because they had shut down their attempt and knew we were on to them. Maybe Snowden blew our cover. I don't know. But I have no way of knowing if that's the case or not. Until I learn otherwise, I must conclude Holder and Obama mishandled this affair, and that conservatives are so busy jacking off about Benghazi and Hillary's brain they haven't even been able to put it all together yet. You guys should stick to what you're good at, birth certificates. Intelligence doesn't seem to be your forte.

As for Bowser, well, he was always a bit to my left.
