Thank you for the mention. I was unaware of that.
I wonder how many seconds it would take today, for the full plan to be all over the internet.
We did a very good job of keeping this close to the vest. I’m not convinced our operation wouldn’t have been compromised today.
Reagan did not need approval because the WPA covered his actions anyway, the same for the recent event in Syria. Pres. just did that out of courtesy and to cover his bases. In this day and age its hard to trust anyone. Also it would be pretty stupid arguing a surprise surgical strike out in the open, the President needs a lot of slack in this Information Age.
