Coming up on Hannity right now.

Ollie North on with Sean. "This administration has to learn how to keep their mouth shut".

Yes...all done in the name of The Children.

It would be hilarious if it weren’t so darned serious.

The Soros media will be blaming the Republicans for leaking out the secrets of the raid tomorrow. Republcians will stutter and hide. McCain will agree with his friends across the aisle and denounce the blabbing Tea Party extremists. Meghan will strip off her top on CNN in protest.

Your point sounds like a good one, and I’m glad you pinged me to your post. Otoh, I wonder if you perchance have me confused with someone else? I just went back and read my own post, and there’s nothing about a ‘building’ in it.

Oops. I guess you were quoting from some source other than my post, and using it to answer my question. Thanks; you input really does help out.

If Gates had any honor, he’d resign immediately, call a press conference, and say this in front of cameras. That he hasn’t done so diminishes him and what he has to say.

Good post!

We too!

I hope we can make it through the next two years intact...to even have a chance.

I thought this from the outset. The first SEAL or family member killed will bleed on Joe Biden’s hands.

I don’t believe there was ever any plan within the Admin to keep the raid a secret. Did Gates really say there was? If so, he is either misleading people or REALLY naive.

But why would anyone think so anyway? Bush didn’t keep it secret when they apprehended KSM and Ramzi bin al Shibh. Should he have kept the apprehension of Saddam secret?

He was huddled in the corner, in the black befitting a mullah.

That's his golf shirt and windbreaker. I wouldn't be surprised if the rookie Hussein left spike marks in the hardwood floors.

Small chance it would be kept secret with a few dozen executive branch personnel being updated as the mission took place, and who knows how many others knew about it.

Outstanding synopsis of liberalism and its failings, thank you.

Panetta, H. Clinton, Gates, and even Biden and Daley deserve the credit for pushing this mission despite Val Jarret and her puppet, the guy on the little chair. Panetta and Clinton already had to publicly backpedal on the situation room photo. Wonder what threats were made?

LOL.

I think we’re about to see Chicago “mafia” vs. Arkansas “mafia”. The team with the gonads were Clintonistas. Not sure if Biden is, but he went along with them.

Biden still can’t believe getting into the house near the WH was as simple as selling your soul.
