![]() 1) Gates was ambiguous about describing the date, or 2) There was a big meeting in the Situation Room discussing the raid in Pakistan a week after the events?
You really pick #1? Cheers, Scott. |

![]() In the situation room Sunday (raid day), Gates said there was an agreement NOT TO DISCUSS DETAILS.
2 days later, Biden was off flapping his yap. 2 days after that, Gates was at LeJeune listening to SEALS fearing for their families. What part about that is hard to understand?

![]() The Raid was on May 1. The NY Times said the SEALS were involved on May 2. Biden's speech was on May 3.
http://iwt.mikevital....iwt?postid=45513 Gates's speech was on May 12. http://iwt.mikevital....iwt?postid=45729 HTH. Cheers, Scott. |

![]() Biden saying something was ok, even after his boss said it wasn't, because the NYT did it first.
Ok. got it. Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.

![]() 1) Biden was complementing a Navy admiral who was getting an award. Biden puffed him up with an ambiguous word ("his"). The admiral had nothing to do with the raid. Biden's comments didn't increase any danger to him and didn't "paint a target on his back" (the admiral's own web pages brag about his work in the attacks on Qadaffi. Why doesn't that paint a target on his back?)
2) Did Biden give any "operational details from the effort to take out bin Laden"? No, he didn't. 3) Was Gates criticizing Biden, even implicitly? No, he wasn't. 4) Do you have reading comprehension problems, and develop selective outrage depending on the party that sits in the White House? Apparently... Close enough to 12 yet? - http://iwt.mikevital....iwt?postid=45560 :-/ Cheers, Scott. |

![]() as no matter what the situation, you are an apologist only for this one.
Even if the admiral comment was "over the top"...now it is plainly apparent that there was an executive mandate to NOT GIVE ANY INFO about the raid...which Joe clearly violated. But its ok. Cause the NYT did it first. What ever happened to "I can neither confirm nor deny"...and the ability to compliment someone without naming a specific, very limited, arm of the military? Nope, its ok because its Joe and B.O....but it isn't ok if its GWB, DC and staff. While you attribute that to my pov, that is CLEARLY your POV. Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.

![]() I almost did.
Goggle on 5/1/2011 and you'll find references to Seal Team Six taking out Osama. Goggle on 5/2/2011 and you'll find that Leon sent out an email thanking the Seals. Should Biden have kept his mouth shut....yeah, I can buy that. Arguing that Biden let the cat out of the bag....no friggin' way. But hey, it's a lot more fun to poke fun at Biden than the CIA Director, right? |
