For those who have not watched the clips these are from Wed and Thursday. I have said on several threads that I believe the General is speaking for all of the good people at DOD and CIA that are frustrated with the political appointees who won’t make the hard decisions. There is a chance he is being used but I trust he has verified this information, this is not his first rodeo. Time will tell.
I watched the two clips (and that’s all I have seen.)
1. The general won’t say he has sources, his interviewers say it.
2. The general speculates solely on the basis of a couple of known facts about communications from the jet, and his calculation (on a dreaded and much hated here iPhone) of distances between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing or Lahore.
3. Somebody’s hearing what hasn’t been said.
