Pentagon Says Trump Was Never Supposed To Share Picture Of Damaged Iranian Launchpad [View all] babylonsister Aug 2019 OP

How do our guys still share information with this idiot? dhol82 Aug 2019 #1

Correct, they should know by now that they cannot share secret information with this idiot Perseus Aug 2019 #18

Because they're under orders to do so. sarge43 Aug 2019 #39

Khrushchev was right. dhol82 Aug 2019 #58

Because he's the boss Mike_DuBois Aug 2019 #54

No, "President" is a title, nothing else, they have to defend the nation, patriotism is higher than Perseus Aug 2019 #74

President is the title of the individual legally entrusted with the highest security of the country. Mike_DuBois Aug 2019 #75

That's simply not workable jberryhill Aug 2019 #77

The answer is "NO". Eyeball_Kid Aug 2019 #44

Problem is, Trump can declassify anything he wants, so there is nothing they can do about it. vsrazdem Aug 2019 #9

There is a process for declassifying information, even for POTUS SpankMe Aug 2019 #23

He does impeachable offenses every day, yet it doesn't seem to matter much. vsrazdem Aug 2019 #32

unfortunately -- quite a few others have said "YES" stopdiggin Aug 2019 #34

sighs.... Mustellus Aug 2019 #36

The president can classify or declassify anything at any time without any process dalton99a Aug 2019 #37

Yes, exactly. And Bush and Cheney..... Mustellus Aug 2019 #42

Of course there's a process. Since when did that stop Trumpy from doing what he wants? n/t Eyeball_Kid Aug 2019 #45

Sorry. But no. This isnt Mike_DuBois Aug 2019 #55

Well how else was he supposed to get it to his boss - Pootie? FakeNoose Aug 2019 #10

What a dumb shit Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Aug 2019 #16

He wanted his base (& Putin) to think he is tough, not a boasting cowardly bluster bluffer TeamPooka Aug 2019 #17

But think of the (false) accusations he makes against Hillary and Comey, that they mishandled tblue37 Aug 2019 #20

my issue is not that he shared this information Lithos Aug 2019 #21

I seem to remember the GOP being very concerned about this issue guillaumeb Aug 2019 #26

But this is not about her emails... Lithos Aug 2019 #31

The mad king spewing out state secrets with every bathroom break Farmer-Rick Aug 2019 #25

He's a security risk, and compromised, but I'm not sure there is anything in that photo that Hoyt Aug 2019 #27

it shows capability, with specificity Hermit-The-Prog Aug 2019 #29

What "capability." Iran's? Or, our surveillance capabilities? I doubt the latter is in question. Hoyt Aug 2019 #30

First it shows capability with regard to imaging resolution VMA131Marine Aug 2019 #53

Nowadays, I doubt that is news. And, there were similar images released a few Hoyt Aug 2019 #56

That commercial image has nowhere near the resolution of the one Trump tweeted VMA131Marine Aug 2019 #57

On the other hand, and I hate defending trump, it could simply put them on notice that we know all Hoyt Aug 2019 #59

There is absolutely no reason to downplay the potential impact of this release VMA131Marine Aug 2019 #69

Christ, Iran, Russia, China, etc., probably have same, if not better, capabilities. Hoyt Aug 2019 #70

But you don't know that. VMA131Marine Aug 2019 #72

Iran obviously didn't keep this site secret. All these countries have similar Hoyt Aug 2019 #78

Just stop! VMA131Marine Aug 2019 #84

Well, apparently you believe what your superiors told you was truth. My experience says Hoyt Aug 2019 #85

is compromising national security an offense worthy of impeachment? Takket Aug 2019 #28

Thank you. Personally, I find it frustrating that this question even has to be asked right now. KPN Aug 2019 #48

What the fuck does the Pentagon know? edbermac Aug 2019 #33

This NPR story goes into why the image's release is so disturbing progree Aug 2019 #40

But her emails!?! elias7 Aug 2019 #60

What else is he sharing that he's not tweeting? wss2001 Aug 2019 #61

A very important question. dalton99a Aug 2019 #63

Trump shares all but that which embarrasses him most DFW Aug 2019 #62

Trump or one of his aides may have snapped a picture of the image using a cellphone. Gothmog Aug 2019 #64
