Computer Nerd Obama Launched Major Cyber War

Our Urkel looking president happens to be a keyboard warrior. As our federal government takes over more control of the Internet, we are learning they started the war that led to the restrictions of more Internet freedom. For it is Obama launching nasty computer viruses from the Oval Office, and you know there will be blow back. Unfortunately, the blow back has started from within with a series of cyber security bills that gives our government more power over the Internet as they turned happy hours surfing into the battlefield.

A prominent U.S. newspaper says U.S. President Barack Obama has been orchestrating secret, sophisticated cyber attacks on Iran's main nuclear facility.

The New York Times cited anonymous sources close to the program who said the order – given just after Mr. Obama took office – triggered a major expansion of America's cyberweapons program.

The Times reported the cyber attack program was begun under former president George W. Bush, who encouraged Mr. Obama to keep it going, and the new president did so.

The main instrument of attack was a computer virus that later became known as Stuxnet. It was infiltrated into the closed computer network that operates much of Iran's main nuclear enrichment facility at Natanz.

The Iranian network had no access to the Internet, The Times reported, and the virus was introduced in a way that is still secret. The account said the U.S. National Security Agency collaborated with Israel on the program.

The virus collected information on how critical Iranian control systems operated, then began a campaign of sabotage – repeatedly starting and stopping the centrifuges Iran was believed to be using to produce weapons-grade uranium, in a way that destroyed the delicate equipment.

I have mixed emotions about this. The federal government obviously is helping turn the Internet into a battlefield and in return more restrictions are being placed on our freedoms. At the same time, if it keeps foreign countries from developing weapon systems, can it really be that bad? I ask you, if Obama has this power, could he use it to target those who stand against him politically on domestic soil. When you look at the reality of this, it would make Watergate look like a neighborhood burglary considering the power this gives Obama. Just something to think about.

 It goes along with the lines of giving Obama power to assassinate without due process. We know these types of powers handed to the wrong people can cause great tyranny.
