It will be interesting to find out if any information on who leaked the national security<\/a> information on the Stuxnet<\/a> virus is revealed by the special counsel, but whatever further information is released, the Israelis have decided to tell their side of the story.<\/p>\n

Breitbart.com<\/a>\u00a0is reporting today that Israel<\/a> intelligence claims that it first developed the Stuxnet virus and that President Obama joined in later after Israel had some difficulty convincing him to do so. The Israelis are accusing President Obama of claiming credit for the Stuxnet virus in order to increase his chances of re-election.<\/p>\n

In IsraelSpy.com<\/a>\u00a0Yossi Melman reports:<\/p>\n

The Israeli officials actually told me a different version. They\u00a0said that it was Israeli intelligence<\/a> that began, a few years\u00a0earlier, a cyberspace campaign to damage and slow down\u00a0Iran\u2019s nuclear intentions. And only later they managed to\u00a0convince the USA to consider a joint operation \u2014 which, at the\u00a0time, was unheard of. Even friendly nations are hesitant to\u00a0share their technological and intelligence resources against a\u00a0common enemy. In our book, Spies Against Armageddon<\/em>, we will reveal much more about\u00a0the special strategic relations and cooperation between the CIA and the\u00a0Mossad and the importance given by the Aman (military\u00a0intelligence) to cyberspace warfare.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet my Israeli sources understand the sensitivity and the timing\u00a0of the issue and are not going to be dragged into a battle over taking\u00a0credit. \u201cWe know that it is the presidential election season,\u201d one Israeli added,\u00a0\u201dand don\u2019t want to spoil the party for President Obama and\u00a0his officials, who shared in a twisted and manipulated way some\u00a0of the behind-the-scenes secrets of the success of cyberwar.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is interesting on a couple of levels–Israel would have more motivation to develop a virus to slow down Iran’s nuclear program–it is a nearer threat to Israel than it is to America, and also Israel has no reason to actually support the re-election of Barack Obama<\/a>–he has not always treated them well.<\/p>\n

Wouldn’t it be ironic if some of the leaks the White House was being investigated for turned out to be untrue to begin with?<\/p>\n
