Stunning... oh my.

CNN sucks ass. Should ATT acquire it, punish ATT.

>>From the same asshole who gave that scum a muzzie burial at sea. Should have put his head on a pike, bathed it in pig’s blood and used it decorate the US embassy.

Remember, the week leading up to the “bin laden raid” in 2011, Donald Trump was beating obama over the head with his birth certificate. 2012 election was just around the corner, time to play the osama card.
That Sunday we hear of this so called raid to start a new news week, after which bin laden’s body within 16 hours was supposevley buried at sea.. What a Hollywood production

If he has a high opinion of Brennan; an admitted communist, a proven liar, a muslim, a certifiable lunatic and a traitor, well, I have serious issues with his judgement.

I've been told that he sold his soul to Barry O and The Witch.

Once she lost his future was dust.

Right. The mere concept is absurd. You have no Constitutionally protected right to spew classified information to CNN, on CNN, or anywhere else.

The President would have been derelict not to strip Brennan’s clearance. He was blabbing to the media and sounding increasingly mentally ill.

Only the left is in high dudgeon about this. Normal Americans are trying to understand how anyone gets to keep their clearances after they leave their jobs.

McRaven is a disgraceful political hack, like too many flag ranked officers. Colin Powell comes to mind.

From From Wikipedia it says, "William Harry McRaven (born November 6, 1955) is a retired United States Navy admiral who last served as the ninth commander of the United States Special Operations Command from August 8, 2011, to August 28, 2014. From 2015 to 2018, he was the chancellor of The University of Texas System."

While thanking him for his service to our country, by his simply being the chancellor of the Peoples Republic of Austin's Teasip's herd, make me suspect his objectivity where Brennan or any politics is concerned. He's left and loony to the max--

My dear old Pappy spoke of serving with World War Two Medal of Honor awardee "Commando" Kelly: "If we were in combat, I'd want him on my flank but out of action he was simply a thug that you could not trust."

Heroics on the battlefield is one thing. Being a good guy you can trust with your values with is another. I would give this Harry a salute while I turn my back to shame him for backing such scumbag a like John Brennan.

our military is being rapidly transformed into a anti-Christian, socialist welfare state. Officers at this level are often political yes men. The same ones who architect bombing runs on empty fields since WWII. How many times did we let laden go, so this could be properly architected for political power?

Someone’s big mouth in the OBL raid enabled the Pakistanis to arrest the Pakistani doctor who helped us find OBL. Poor guy is still in jail is he not?

Wonder who that was?

Typical top brass that doesn't put feet in the arena - "oversees" a mission where he sends real men out to do a job which makes him look good....

I remember when I retired and had all sorts of accolades for the accomplishments of my area be bandied about - I thanked them for the kind words then asked them to please acknowledge the folks who did the heavy lifting as all i did was help pave the road and keep obstructions from hindering their efforts. Most successful leaders are just effective secretaries who tend to the needs of the folks that do the actual work.

POTUS has a canny way of flushing out the Deep State rats. Sadly, some wear the military uniform, which proves the the infestation is very bad.

Brennan can continue flapping his foul yap on CNN or MSNBC, or getting his drivel published in the NYT all he wants. He hasn’t been muzzled. He doesn’t need, nor does he deserve to have a security clearance of any kind to be a talking head or scribbler.

As Commander in Chief President Trump can order this Admiral to command a fleet of canoes on a remote Alaskan river.

His job is to salute and say "Yes Sir!" Not trash his boss.
