Report: Obama personally approved leaks of Israeli strikes in Syria

President Obama personally approved the leaking by the CIA of information about alleged Israeli strikes on Syria according to a report in the World Tribune.

“This is a decision that could come only from Obama,” a diplomat said. “[T]his reflects his dismay over the Israeli operations, which the president believes could result in a regional war.”

...

The diplomats said Israel has protested the U.S. leaks, which increased tension with Damascus. They said the purported CIA leaks have strained relations with Israel’s intelligence community, particularly the Mossad. The CIA director is John Brennan, regarded as a confidant of Obama.

“The Israelis have also been going to their friends in Congress to stop the leaks,” the diplomat said.

That would be John al-Quds Brennan, who views jihad as a 'legitimate tenet' of Islam.

“The leaks will continue because there is a lot of resentment within the U.S. intelligence community over Israeli assessments regarding such countries as Egypt, Iran and Syria,” the diplomat said.

Maybe Obama wants us to go to war with Syria and Iran... because he thinks we'd lose (God forbid).
