Jordan furious over Pentagon leak on secret anti-terror training camp
The Washington Times ^ | February 23, 2015 | Maggie Ybarra

The Pentagon let slip that one of its training camps to help fight Islamic State terrorists is in Jordan — information the pro-U.S. kingdom had specifically requested be kept private, and the latest gaffe in a series of sensitive leaks coming out of the Department of Defense. In order to hide its flub, which was first announced to reporters during a briefing last week, the Pentagon has scrubbed its public transcripts of any mention of the training camp. Pentagon officials acknowledged Monday that one of its officers, who was briefing reporters on condition of anonymity last week, likely made the mistake. The Pentagon’s policy is to discuss only the contributions its partner nations are making to its operations against extremists in Iraq and Syria only after those partner nations have publicly spoken about those contributions. In Jordan’s case, that did not happen, a senior Pentagon official said. Security analysts are befuddled by the high-level operational “screw-up.” “Either the official made a mistake or is deliberately leaking information to put the administration’s plans for Syria in a better light in an attempt to defuse criticism that the administration has bungled efforts to aid Syrian rebels,” said James Phillips, a national security analyst at The Heritage Foundation.

And Congress is in on it with them.

Second Amendment, eh? They’ll just pick us off one by one.

God help us, we’ve had it.

When will there be enough evidence that this president is a traitor, hates America, has aligned with the wrong side, etc.?

The head of the US administration just bitch-slapped King Abdullah after the king’s picture in uniform went viral and he vowed to avenge his pilot.

Netanyahu take note and thank G-d you are not communicating with the CIA or the US DOD. Every move you planned to make would be simultaneously leaked to every Muslim from east to west.

The reason the right wing conservatives are on the danger list is because those in power know what they have planned will force the true patriots to save the Constitution and the Republic by whatever means necessary. Did anyone in the Senate or House comment on that list? No? Then they, too, are conspirators with the executive branch.

This morning they were reporting that the Mossad had also leaked records contradicting Netanyahu’s U.N. address about the advanced nature of Iran’s nuclear bomb program.

The leak was announced simultaneously with news of the “breakthrough” in Obama’s love-talks with Iran.

Now maybe some anti-Bibi faction within Mossad actually had evidence contradicting his speech. But there is no doubt the White House was behind the announcement of the leak, and it is intended to weaken Bibi while strengthening Obama and his favorite death-merchant mullahs.

Does he love his country my achin’ arse.
