Obama Slammed for Releasing Details of Failed Foley Rescue Mission
Fox Nation ^ | August 21, 2014

Posted on 08/21/2014 6:36:30 AM PDT by Hojczyk

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.

In fact, I remember the main criticism of Carter was that he NEVER left the White House.

But,yesterday’s golf score is still secret!

:) Good point! The golfer in chief probably usually "wins" because if he lost everyone knows it wouldn't be pretty. Golfing fills his desperate need for more narcissistic supply.

Well, if you want to see pics of Bin Laden’s body, were any ever released? I remember they said they disposed of the body at sea. I remember too how Wolf Blitzer and others dutifully reported that we followed all Islamic doctrines on handling the dead body of Bin Laden.

I am now at the point where this actually really is an insult to Carter.

I almost dread Obama more as an ex-President than as President. The guy is never going to shut up.

Obama is trying to avoid his responsibility. That’s how he operates.

“I tried to save him, but the military let me down!”

He keeps trying to ignore the fact that he’s The Commander In Chief of the armed forces of The United States. HE is responsible for that failed mission.

Why?

Because the odumbo needed a quick easy win, and even if the mission failed he can claim he TRIED.

Can’t claim credit unless you tell people about it. . .national security be darned.

That’s true, like Clintoon. Though Clintoon is less dangerous (I think).

I saw this billboard North of Dallas a few years ago. I was laughing so hard I nearly run off the road; I had tears in my eyes.

Perhaps ISIS knew and that was the real reason Foley was slaughtered. Take it one step further. Perhaps the WH learned ISIS knew and released the details.

They need to be ahead of story.
