Isn’t there a general rule that in war you don’t announce your plans in advance to the Associated Press? What is going on here?

It's the "progressive" way to wage war - speak firmly and say you're going to lay a whipping out, then fold once the bluff is called.

Of course, the flip side is that "progressives" will leak national security secrets to sabotage this Nation because they hate it so much.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of military operations

See it's okay, the officials were anonymous.
