In times of dictatorship, telling the truth is a Revolutionary Act.

[RC one]

It seems that a decade of war hasn’t taught our politicians anything about war.

The American Public is too stupid to understand....

There is almost no way the PRC could seize even one of the Senkaku Islands without also seizing 5 nearby islands which are....

1. 100% uncontested Japanese territory

2. Have 5 airfields, one adequate for the Il-76

3. Are home to over 50,000 Japanese citizens

Bonus:

Some analysts strongly think the PRC would also take OKINAWA.

You know what THAT means...

[clintonh8r]

We can’t have military officers running around telling the truth!

[Crapgame]

Well we can’t have Naval Intelligence officers speaking the truth...I mean that might get the Chinese bent out of shape...

Used to work there. This isn't the sort of thing someone in CAPT Fanell's position lets slip idly, and either he's a complete fool or he said it for a reason. I would bet against "fool".

And so he Embarrassed The Boss, which is never a good thing for your career. Unless, of course, The Boss isn't really all that embarrassed, or your career isn't necessarily the most important thing at stake. Somebody just sent somebody else a message.

~A senior Navy intelligence officer has been removed from his position due to comments made regarding aggressive Chinese military movements that ran counter to the Pentagon’s talking points on the issue, according to the Navy Times.~

You have to admit that Obama is not a complete commie so far.

If this guy was a Soviet intelligence officer issuing ‘provacative’ comments regarding aggressive German military movements in May, 1941, he would have been shot by Stalin before June.

This one took off lightly.

He obviously didn’t get the memo that Global Warming is the Navy’s real threat.

Capt. James Fanell, the truth has set you free.

[Jimmy Valentine]

What is next for Obama. Put the whole Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor?

[AppyPappy]

The Chinese will not risk a confrontation with anyone except maybe India or Vietnam.

They are making too much money.

[a fool in paradise]

Obama’s political purge of the US military continues. Homofascism will reign.

[zzwhale]

obama needs a pearl harbor..... one way or the other..
