“It was obama himself who released the info trying to make himself look proactive in retrospect.” BINGO! The Same with Osama. As an old cold warrior(Air Defense Command) during the post cold war era of the 50s and 60s I never witnessed a breach of security to satisfy the political butt of some CIC.
I too was in when US was in the Cold War, although just as a JAG Officer (which I understand is just a cushy job and not a real fighter). Still, that was a sophisticated deathly game, this is a total brawl. And with leaders who are demented.
