 Loose lips Their Lives, Their Fortunes, and Their Sacred Honor: Spec Ops Warriors Stand Tall By Russ Vaughn ...[T]he Axelrod/Plouffe bubble factory, correctly believing that a large part of their Democrat Party is inherently anti-military, has chosen the hang-tough Kerry Gambit: deny, discredit, and dishonor. For those of you unfamiliar with what I'm referring to, the White House handling of the mission to capture or kill Osama bin Laden back in 2011 has created a huge amount of displeasure and dissent within the multi-service special operations community, as well as within the overall military and veterans' communities. The president's quick rush to grab the glory with his I,I,I, me, me, me speech left a lot of active and former members of the military stone, frosty cold. As any general or admiral could tell you, top commanders, especially commanders-in-chief, do not rush to claim the glory. All credit goes to the warriors who carried out the missions, not the politicians and staff weenies involved in the upper-level planning. Such a rush to snatch credit from the jaws of victory is unseemly and undignified to those who serve to protect this nation -- and especially so when the unseemly, undignified grabber of glory happens to be the commander of all our military forces, a position which demands dignity, gravitas, and a true understanding of the Warrior Code. Bush, a fighter pilot, had it; Clinton, a draft-dodger, did not; the guy there now and his Chicago advisers don't have the slightest clue. But worse, in the eyes of those frontline and behind-the-lines warriors who have now posted their displeasure is the total disregard by this White House for operational security. The unseemly haste with which the Obama spin machine jumped in to blare to the world that Osama had been killed was a grievous intelligence error. In their eagerness to seize credit, the politicians in the White House deprived our nation and our forces of the intelligence that would normally flow from the capture of a terrorist headquarters: all the information contained there about our enemy's forces, their structure, their distribution/locations, their communications networks, and their finances. With one simple White House press release, all that hard-fought-for intelligence was lost. Forever. In claiming the glory, Obama insured that all that intel was end-of-story... www.americanthinker.com Basically, spec-ops would have (and wanted to) keep the taking down of bin Laden quiet so they could quietly run down the line, taking out the bad guys that captured bin Laden intel led them to. Instead, BO and his handlers crow loudly about it seeking personal adulation and gain. Even now, they jealously see any criticism by military personnel of their self-aggrandizement as an attempt to steal some of the 'glory' away from BO. Their mean-spirited and self-serving pettiness is on full display. |

Got lost in that website .. Bookmarked it. BO has a big ego and thin skin. He's been exposed to those who can see. We may see him crack if Mitt is prepared in the debates. That's a longshot. The pimp can preach! Mitts kinda whitebread boring. I hope he's been waiting for the moment to go off. Not likely IMO. BO is a disgrace, the worst Pres. in my lifetime ... Jimmy was bad, but Barry passed him in his first year. |
