Talked to a recently retired Marine Pilot today. Outside of his anger in what Obama is doing to the Military, we discussed the aftermath of the OBL operation.

He is in disbelief of the idiots in the Administration giving out all of the information that was captured from OBN’s McMansion.

Biden starts it off outing Seal Team Six as the people who did the deed, and now the rest of the idiots can't help themselves divulging sensitive information.

Good thing these guys weren't around in WWII after we cracked the Japanese Codes.

Incidents *could* have happened under President Bush, but they would have not been broadcast to the whole planet. There may have been many happenings, but President Bush knew why and when to keep his mouth shut.

This administration’s lips flap so much they’ll cool off the globally warmed earth.

I said the following on another thread, and am repeating it here because, for once, I hope conservatives raise their voices in unison to demand Robert Gates' resignation.

If Robert Gates had any honor, he would have resigned last Tuesday, then immediately held a press conference, and told the American public that he strongly opposed the administration's making operational details of the raid public. He would have had a much bigger audience, and what he said would have had far more impact. Frankly, he took the coward's way out while keeping his cushy job. Plus his admission comes after his 60 Minutes appearance when he called Obama "gutsy." That's what sticks in the public mind, not his wimpy admission (complete with nervous laughter) about the broken deal to keep operational details classified.

“Whose lame brain idea was it to bring CAMS into a firefight?”

Probably somebody who doesn’t know what he is doing, like the SEAL Team commander. /s

I’m just surprised that the president hasn’t staged a photo op with their children and identified what schools they attend.

I heard a news item on FNC a few days ago that some group of well intentioned people delivered a folded flag to one of the SEAL’s family. It was meant as a thank you. But when they delivered the flag to the home it alarmed the family and they feared the worse had happened to their SEAL. The family and SEAL were outed and identified. FNC has failed to follow up on that report, which is a good thing. How this group knew the SEAL was involved in the raid I do knot know.

You are kidding yourself if you think “all” the operational details have leaked. What do you know about how the lights went out and the cell phones stopped working?

How dare the SEALS speak out. Next thing we know the military will be demanding that they get to vote.

Nothing is out of bounds when getting 0bama Bin Lying re-elected.

That pretty much says it all concerning this event and all others we shall see occurring in the months ahead. Heck, I can't even watch a on-line movie without seeing Obama Campaign banners..."Are you In"....They are putting him out there everywhere...at nausea!

It’s their only goal in the game. They don’t see scoring many more, so they’re milking it!

"You guys in the press have done a good job, but stop for God's sake, stop."

Mr. Babbin, you don't understand. The press aren't doing this for their country, or for the Seals. They are doing it for their leader, Obama. They will keep it up as long as it helps their leader - they don't give a damn what the Seals want.

Yes yes, for goodness sake lets not ask any more questions. Now that we know the story originally put out was total BS, for maters of national security and for the safety of our navy Seals we must not question anything about this operation. Trust in Obama. Trust in Obama.

Wondering how (and why) a body could be flown by helicopter 200+ miles to Afghanistan, be unloaded, DNA tested, photographed, etc, reloaded, flown by helicopter 800-1000 miles to a US ship, have a religious ceremony performed, and then dumped into the ocean...ALL IN 8 HOURS...surely could put Navy Seals in danger. Its national security dontcha know. Stop asking questions! Trust in Obama.

The helmet cam thing isn’t exactly a secret. Its fairly common knowledge that they are generally used.

Barry and Slow-Joe need to stop spiking the football!

I think they have gone beyond simply spiking the football now.

They are doing the "endzone boogie" and showing the playbook to the stadium can see how clever they are (despite the fact that is isn't really Obama/Biden playbook, it is the real American playbook that they happened to be using).....

.....The opposing team and its coaches are taking notes.

Obama has been doing this because he is in political trouble and must grasp at straws. Bush would not even mentioned anything, period.

Always makes me sick when BO visits troops and they are smiling big and taking his picture and trying to shake his hand like they are so thrilled to be in his prescense.

Add to that his stating they would release photos then taking it back. There wouldn’t have been as much uproar had he never said they would release photos.

This whole thing has been handled poorly.
