Is this stuff happening because 0bama is much more hawkish than we think?
Or is it happening because 0bama is a weak commander-in-chief and the generals are running rough-shod over him?
..a US General looking to early retirement.
Betcha 0bama had directed the General to blab so he can get credit before the election.
It is happening because 0 has no qualms about giving our military information away MUCH to our DETRIMENT..
or it’s disinformation. I just find it hard to believe we could put undetected boots on the ground in the most tightly controlled place on earth. Maybe we’re just trying to get the NK’s running all over the place on a wild goose chase.
In a just America, this guy would be thrown in Leavenworth, and the key melted down to be used again.
The "loose lips" are entirely intentional.
The Japanese have done exactly the same mind games, knowing that the North Koreans will go to extremes to eliminate such putative clandestine activities.
Indeed, Japanese authorities have alluded to their extensive network of spies in North Korea. (The best part was their reference to the "警察庁 controllers" of these spies; the North Koreans probably expended many man-years trying to find and eliminate these agents.)
Nice part about the tunnels is you just pump in the gas and it stays there as the rats suffocate.
Ooops too late. If they have internet service they now know the commandos are there.
the false flag attack
NK and/or Iranian nukes
he told us to be careful, didn’t he?
Is Obama looking for a "absolutely necessary" war by tweaking the Norks tail?
What U.S. officer, and why isn't he in irons awaiting court martial and execution?
Psychological warfare is fun.
It gives the paranoids something to worry about. It keeps the Commies on their toes.
It leads to mutual suspicion and finger pointing and firing squads. It’s good for morale (ours, not theirs).
Hey Tiger hear anything????
The Bamster looking for more election mojo via leaks?
60 years to build tunnels with slave labor! hmm. Most of South Korea may sitting on top of explosives?
I think I’d start clearing out the tunmels I knew of that were inside/under south Korea, and just start working the way back. Then demolish them and anytime you hear them trying to dig out and rebuild, just blow em up/again.
I truly doubt that the general said anything that was not complete disinformation.
“...have been parachuting”. Highly unlikely and not the preferred mode of entry into NKor.
“The entire tunnel infrastructure is hidden from our satellites”. Now that is just utter hooey. Hyperspectral satellites have probably mapped every inch of them.
The general is probably trying to get the Norks to divert resources to where the action is not. He might be doing so to undermine a real intelligence leak.
Something tells me we don’t parachute much anymore
This whole thing is bull****, a fabrication (or an exaggeration stretched to the point of fabrication) by sensationalist blogger David Axe, whose byline is on the Diplomat piece. If you read the TBO blogger’s piece, BG Tolley is clearly talking conditionally. If we go to war, I want to put my men here, and some new gadgets you guys could invent and make would help me do that.
Axe misheard, or was stoned, or just wanted to make the story more exciting. That’s how he rolls. I thought he was going to be better after embedding, but he’s the same old hack.
Unless of course, the DOD and White House authorized and ordered it.
