Rumsfeld Urges White House to Keep Lid on Bin Laden Intel
fox ^ | 5/8/11 | staff

Posted on 05/08/2011 11:49:07 AM PDT by Nachum

Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on Sunday questioned why the Obama administration is releasing so much information about the operation that resulted in the death of Usama bin Laden and the intelligence behind it.

While Rumsfeld praised President Obama for overseeing and green-lighting the daring raid last weekend, he suggested the White House could be taking a risk in sharing the details it has with the public.

"The more information that goes out about intelligence, the greater the risks to our people and the less likelihood we're going to be able to capture and/or kill some of the people who would result from the intelligence take here," Rumsfeld said on CBS' "Face the Nation."

the Pakistani Army had to be protecting Osama; and because there was no resistance from the Pakistani military we may wonder if osama was being handed over to the seals.

in that case , the only intel we would be getting would be what the paki military wants us to find

in that case the news releases we would be getting are what obama and the Paki Army put together and wants us to believe

This WH crowd has absolutely no wisdom to speak of. Another PC way of putting it - they are common-sense-challenged.

That’s right. Don’t want anyone to figure out that the Bushies killed him back in 2001 and didn’t tell anyone. /lame attempt at sarcasm

“Lets see what we already know;
(1) The attack carrier Vincent is home to Seal Team 6 Where ever its going they’re going with it.
(2) The baffle (Pie plate) on the tail rotor assembly indicates main rotor blades torques hard right.
(3) We told them we know who and where they are (instead of tagging them)
and this ag line says it all”


1. Says who? We know that they send Bin Laden’s body there. Could have been any other ship in the area.
2. Blogs talked about the copter.
3. What makes you think CIA is that stupid? First after capturing the data from Bin Laden every terrorist leader with 2 brain cells knows to move if Bin Laden knew their location. But this is positive because makes them nervous and when nervous they move more, make mistakes. CIA and drones are keeping an eye on things, make no mistakes about it.

Because the group of idiot Marxists in the 1/2 white hut are totally clueless about the real world.

This has been a major subject at war colleges and defense think tanks off and on since WWII. With so much info on wars and tactics that’s made public it’s been argued that we give away our whole play book and suffer for it later. I agree. I don’t need to know everything that goes on, especially with this.

This whole thing is looking like a scam to me. Could this have all been made up?

Was listening to Ollie North the other day. He said basically the same thing. “Wait a week at least or longer to even announce the actual kill of Osama and say nothing about captured Intel at all”.

Now all his lieutenants are scurrying for cover.

Which of the 15 versions of “I killed Osama” does Rummy think the enemy will go for? The whole thing is so botched and convoluted nobody could figure it out.

I am sure the media will attack Rummy for daring to say such a sensible thing. It is sad but someone had to tell Obama and his clown crew of progressive idiots to stfu.

It would have been much more productive to say nothing right away and catch operatives at their safe houses. After all, we were able to find OBL while he was at his safe house and not on the move.

....”they should have not even released news of Osama’s assasination until at least a week or two so they had time to squash some more roaches. As it is all the roaches had plenty of time to get away. Not too smart.”.....

Exactly right...however saying they took computers and other significant sources of information certainly has caused mayheim in the rank and file ....if they were planning anything it’s been on hold now...they’re too busy running away from where they are..and you can bet they will re-plan what was in play.

I also figure none are sleeping well at night.....the fact the copters went in and got out before detection has made them all afraid they are nexxt.

Obama to Rumsfeld: Good. I’ll make sure to go public with every detail I can, except a picture of the corpse.

Yes, but the key is that OBAMA killed OSAMA. That means whenever he’s out on the golf course or jetting around the world on junkets, terrorists can relax knowing that no important anti-terrorist raids can possibly be launched without POTUS in the room to call the shots and make sure those simpleton SEALS or CIA operatives don’t screw things up....

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Thats an easy question to answer.And Rumsfeld knows the amswer, which is why he is asking the question.The intel is bogus, its taqiyya.......Disinformation.

And the whole OBL assassination is a grift using a surgically altered double, now a martyr. Thats why the body was deep sixed by Obama operatives ,into the Arabian Sea before it was even cold.(The generally accepted procedure would have been to hand the body over to our NATO allies for independent , redundant, forensic verification of OBL’s death.)

OBL is somewhere in a remote mansion in the Hindu Kush kicking back, not a care in the world.

Purpose:

1)To allow Obama to claim victory and remove all US troops from the middle East.

2) To help recover Obamas fading poll numbers and get patriotic America to kill itself by supporting Obama.Thats why Obama is making all the adulatory, “ Hail Ceaser” rounds
and keeping the assasination meme alive. Its part of the Obama campaign.

3) To cover the situation in Libya, Obama wants Sub-Saharam Africa to fll to the Muslim Brotherhood, which is why former ally Qadaffi “must go.” Its the paradox of sharia democracy , you see.

Impossible you say? No. Obama has Muslim broptherhood advisors on his White Hut staff, and a whole isolated back channel hierarchy of communications with Pakistan Intel.So many meetings on the golf course.

Excellent post, of course its absolutely believable and hopefully it will double back upon Obama like something out of an old movie called “Capricorn One”

Where NASA faked a manned Earth to Mars mission, the real pilots were kept hidden away at a secure facility, but when the real rocket had an accident upon re-entry which they had to do for real and it was believed that the astronauts were all killed then NASA had a little problem on their hands, they were dead men, but they escaped...

And then it all was exposed.
