Lets Get Real:

It would be a nightmare for the Obama legacy if in its term in Office the influence of IS extended from Iraq via Syria to Lebanon.   The air power alone plan of the Oval is not working, a incursion by IS in to Lebanon would bring Iran in to the mix, while the Oval is trying to get a nuclear deal with the Tehran and keep the US Senate from passing new sanctions on Iran.   The US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs any day soon will be back in the Oval Office to tell the President that more US ground troops will be needed in Iraq and special forces for Syria.   The bombing of IS has not stopped them from gaining ground, the US is sending million dollar missiles to take down trucks or groups of terrorists.    There is a limit on this and its value, the US needs ground troops in the Middle East. 

US bugged North Korea - North Korean Crisis

Lets Get Real:

The Obama Administration needs to come down hard on those that leak the above information, they are damaging US national security.   It seems someone at the NSA thinks they should cover to the NSA, as to show the NSA knew about the Sony cyber attack but did not think that it required the action of the NSA, what producers and film actors think through email is hardly a matter of national security, but that is not the point, if after the Sony the North Koreans could go after other computer mainframes that control nuclear power, hospitals etc.    The US NSA should be their not only to defend US national security but also the security of the US economy.
