Full title was too long: "Robert Gates: We Had Agreed We Wouldnt Release Details About the Operation Against OBL But 'That All Fell Apart'"
To: newzjunkey
I really am beginning to hate this administration. Prayers for those who carried out the mission and their families.

And Panetta insisting the SEALs made the kill decision all on their own. They, the SEALs turned off their cameras for 25 min.
This administration has turned this kill into the butt of jokes around the world. Deadly results will be realized everywhere.
This is O’s brand of brilliance. This from the man the left said is so smart taking the presidency was a step down?
God help us.

After the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan.....These idiots believe Americans can’t handle seeing the pictures of this idiot? Give me a break. These guys need to be run out of our government.

The only thing that distinguishes this operation from Desert 1 is the fact that none of our guys got killed. Other than that it’s a complete cluster****.

My guess: these leaks came from the WH to help make Lt. Commando 0bam Bam look like the military action hero toy doll that Nancy Pelosi knows he is.

Real title;
“Robert Gates: We Had Agreed We Wouldnt Release Details About the Operation Against OBL But ‘That All Fell Apart’” because of Ubama’s Big Mouth.”
To: proud American in Canada
I really am beginning to hate this administration.
I agree. It is absolutely disgusting what is being allowed.
We need a leader that says release details and that's your @ss. This administration is an abomination. God will certainly have a say so for the decisions made during this time. Putting people's lives at stake who have defended our country - already putting their lives at stake is hideous and heinous.

There’s an old saying that two people can keep a secret only if one of them is dead.

To: newzjunkey
I'm thinking the Seals should go
"full Valerie Plame" on the jacka**es in the WH - 0bama and Biden. And this time it would be for the actual leaking of covert operatives' identities.
Can you say Intelligence Identities Protection Act (IIPA)? Paging Patrick Fitzgerald. Please pick up the white courtesy phone in the lobby.
Fitzmas anyone?
To: newzjunkey
Meh...what's a few innocent family members of SEALs safety? We're talking about POLL numbers - THAT's what's important.
As Biden would say..."this is a big f*****g deal!"
Obama is an embarassment - to national security, to patriotic Americans...to anyone that holds liberty near and dear...

I've never agreed with this policy. Terrorists have never struck within the U.S. against operators or family members as specific revenge, and they're not hard to find. You could shoot random people in North Carolina and have a 50/50 chance of hitting someone involved in the GWOT.
I used to joke with my commander about updating my Facebook page with operations I've been on, different objectives, etc. Why hide? That's good advertising. OPSEC be damned, let the terrorists know what they're in store for if they come knocking. Fear of consequences is the only deterrent that they understand.
(Obviously, most people don't feel that way, and I respect the rights of those wishing to remain anonymous to do so, etc, etc.)
