Obama Slammed for Releasing Details of Failed Foley Rescue Mission

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.

This morning, Catherine Etheridge of FOX News was being interviewed on the “Bruce and Dan Show” on Chicago’s ABC affiliate. You’ll remember her from her tireless reporting on Benghazi.

She said that reporters have to ask WHEN this rescue mission took place. Then they have to look at WHAT was going on domestically at the same time. This might have been another wag-the-dog event to get a scandal off the news.

She’s like a pitbull, so maybe she can uncover what really happened. This could also be another example of failed intelligence.
