Former Biden White House adviser Susan Rice went on MSNBC to proclaim the Trump Administration's Signal group chat on the Houthi air strike "the biggest national security debacle that any national security advisor can remember. The pure laziness, malpractice, recklessness of the Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, the Director of National Intelligence, the CIA Director and others is bizarre."
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth questioned Rice's remarks, saying "I think most normal people would consider the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 the biggest national security debacle. Over 2,400 people were killed by a massive Japanese air attack. This included 2,000+ Navy personnel, 100+ Marines, 200+ Army troops, and nearly 70 civilians. Seven warships were sunk. This was followed by a long and brutal war in which more than 400,000 American military personnel were killed."
"Our Signal group chat suffered one minor glitch--Jeffrey Goldberg, the vile editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine, was mistakenly included," Hegseth said. "The air strikes on the Houthi terrorists that have been attacking shipping in the Red Sea were successful. No American lives or aircraft were lost."
Rice pointed out "as terrible as the attack on Pearl Harbor might have been it was instrumental for getting the United States into the war that defeated the Nazis. FDR's maneuvering that got Japan to fire the first shot overcame America's reluctance to enter any foreign wars. Given the successful outcome of WWII that maneuvering cannot be called a debacle. We don't yet know the full repercussions of the Signal chat. So, for now, I stand by my assessment that it is our nation's greatest security debacle."
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich) called the airstrike on the Houthis "unwarranted. They have not be found guilty in any court of law. Trump's goons have essentially murdered presumed innocent men. I will be filing impeachment papers so Trump and his goons can be removed from office and turned over to the International Court of Justice where they will be prosecuted and punished for their crimes against humanity."
In related news, American Oversight filed a lawsuit against John Ratcliffe, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and others for violating the Presidential Records Act. Judge James Boasberg, Chief Judge of the US District Court for the District of Columbia, has demanded that "the Trump Administration must obtain my permission for any further actions against the Houthis or other alleged enemies. From this day forward, until I have been provided with irrefutable evidence that it is necessary no new military missions may be undertaken."
Hello Hillary. You are still number 1 in security breaches.
Oh I can think of think of a few, Afghan soldiers who died in “withdrawal “Benghazi, or sleeping with Chinese agent, or Chinese agent as your driver, hitlarys private servers, and the entire 4 years of xiden
These fools have learned nothing and that is good
Yup, gotta protect the communists at all costs. That is, after all, how it turned out in Europe.
I knew the rats would overplay this and they did not disappoint
Democrats don’t have to worry about being infiltrated as Trump was.
Democrats help our enemies as a function of policy.
I thought this was going to be about how disastrous the Obama/Biden Administrations were.
“so Trump and his goons can be removed from office and turned over to the International Court of Justice”. Who are the judges on the ‘International Court of Justice’?
Rice and the Rosenbergs are intellectual kin.
I accidentally hit the number for one of the leftist news networks today and thought it was a documentary on Watergate but it was just wall to wall coverage of the new “scandal.”
News broadcasters must have been sedated to get the words out while shaking with fear over democracy hanging by a thread.
Turned it off within 10 seconds.
True.
Can we also now say about the Atlantic guy getting the message “At this time what difference does it make?”
Guess not.
Difference.
Hillary’s decisions allowed people to die. She didn’t care.
The Atlantic guy reading a message did not cause anyone to die. No one of our side died in the attack on the Houthi positions.
“. . . the Trump Administration must obtain my permission for any further actions against the Houthis or other alleged enemies. From this day forward, until I have been provided with irrefutable evidence that it is necessary no new military missions may be undertaken.”
