THE KELLY FILE': GENERAL JACK KEANE SAYS THERE WAS NO REASON TO RELEASE INFORMATION ON THE FAILED FOLEY RESCUE MISSION:
I think it’s a matter of principle Megan, we really shouldn’t talk about these operations and certainly an operation like this, there’s no reason to disclose it, at a deference to Mr. Foley’s family I probably would have told that family what we attempted to do at least and give them some comfort that somebody did try to rescue him.
But even going back to the Bin Laden raid, which was obviously successful, the amount of information that was released after that infuriated the Secretary of Defense. I know if our Special Operatives were here, they don’t want these things talked about; they don’t want them out in the media. What will happen now because we disclosed the event is journalists will pursue sources to get more information about the details of that event and that is what the Special Operatives don’t want out there.

THE KELLY FILE’: GENERAL JACK KEANE SAYS THERE WAS NO REASON TO RELEASE INFORMATION ON THE FAILED FOLEY RESCUE MISSION.
He had his reasons.
Obama’s desperate to appear competent, and failing at that too.
This has to be Valerie Jarrett’s leak. The Post Turtle was on the course with Alonzo.
It was a horrible idea to let ISIS know the details of a failed rescue mission. They will not be so careless again, and the other two US hostages will not survive.
But,yesterday’s golf score is still secret!
Perhaps Obama is going for SEAL Team 6 type result.
Would you believe the score if they actually released it?
Sure there was a reason. Even Obama at times realizes that he comes across as the weak, pathetic excuse of a president that he is. So, he released information about the attempted rescue to show what a tough guy he is once in a while.
And he does not care at all how it damages US covert operations overall; he just needed to make himself look a little better.
The Iranian is fulfilling the agenda.
Why isn’t disclosure of this information considered TREASON?????
Sounds like another Carter style flop. This clown needs to go.
Show me the picture of the body, or it didn't happen.
I suspect that a few heads are literally going to roll now that ISIS knows they have informants in their ranks.
There was no raid...They made this BS up.
Jimmah Cahtah the 2nd...
POTUS IS the National Command Authority who decides what is classified.
There was no rescue attempt.
We all understand BO’s motivation: because covering your butt and taking credit for trying is more important than the success of future special ops missions.
Jimma Carta failed to rescue the Iran hostages. Shades of April 4th 1980.
