That's very old news and was exposed as bunk perpetuated by traitorous have-beens. The mullahs and their puppets broadcast the same myths.
"That's very old news and was exposed as bunk perpetuated by traitorous have-beens"
I know it's old news but who exposed it as bunk? I'd like to know.
Hersh again. What more needs to be said?
If real military leaders feel this way, why would they tell this reporter? It would seem like this would be classified.
But what the hell . Nothing is classified any more
I did.
If Seymour Hersh wrote it you can figure it's half made up and the other half is his leftest opinion.
Seymor Hersch is trying to run the government again through lies and deception.
I know that Sy Hersy is a liar, and a leftist psychopath, but I do believe that we have more than a few of these chamberlain appeasement types wearing military uniforms over at the Pentagon.
According to an earlier rash of anti-American, pro-Islamist opinion, that trash came from The New Yorker in January of 2005.
Well, since Seymour Hersh's security clearance clears him to view and discuss exactly JACK SQUAT about our military planning, this rubbish can be dismissed out of hand. We all know he's another thumb sucking liberal fabricating 'anonynous' sources in an effort to weaken the US response to islamic barbarity.
Vote for Seymour Hirshinsky for Commandant in Chief!

Statement from Pentagon Spokesman Lawrence DiRita on Latest Seymour Hersh Article
The Iranian regime’s apparent nuclear ambitions and its demonstrated support for terrorist organizations is a global challenge that deserves much more serious treatment than Seymour Hersh provides in the New Yorker article titled “The Coming Wars.”
Mr. Hersh’s article is so riddled with errors of fundamental fact that the credibility of his entire piece is destroyed.
Mr. Hersh’s source(s) feed him with rumor, innuendo, and assertions about meetings that never happened, programs that do not exist, and statements by officials that were never made.
A sampling from this article alone includes:
The post-election meeting he describes between the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff did not happen.
The only civilians in the chain-of-command are the President and the Secretary of Defense, despite Mr. Hersh’s confident assertion that the chain of command now includes two Department policy officials. His assertion is outrageous, and constitutionally specious.
Arrangements Mr. Hersh alleges between Under Secretary Douglas Feith and Israel, government or non-government, do not exist. Here, Mr. Hersh is building on links created by the soft bigotry of some conspiracy theorists. This reflects poorly on Mr. Hersh and the New Yorker.
Mr. Hersh cannot even keep track of his own wanderings. At one point in his article, he makes the outlandish assertion that the military operations he describes are so secret that the operations are being kept secret even from U.S. military Combatant Commanders. Mr. Hersh later states, though, that the locus of this super-secret activity is at the U.S. Central Command headquarters, evidently without the knowledge of the commander if Mr. Hersh is to be believed.
By his own admission, Mr. Hersh evidently is working on an “alternative history” novel. He is well along in that work, given the high quality of “alternative present” that he has developed in several recent articles.
Mr. Hersh’s preference for single, anonymous, unofficial sources for his most fantastic claims makes it difficult to parse his discussion of Defense Department operations.
Finally, the views and policies Mr. Hersh ascribes to Secretary Rumsfeld, Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz, Under Secretary Feith, and other Department of Defense officials do not reflect their public or private comments or administration policy.

No it's not click on the picture of Hersh.
Right.
We can pound the same targets indefinitely. Take satellite images... then make the rubble bounce if necessary.
If these "commanders" are that clueless, we need to replace them with real warriors.
Get rid of all the Clinton Fruit officers!
