National Security: Even getting the Joint Chiefs chairman to admonish the ex-Navy SEALs who are condemning White House leaks won’t extinguish Obama’s Leak-gate scandal. These heroes are dead right.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was traditionally the military’s principal adviser to the president. This changed with George H.W. Bush’s appointment of Colin Powell.
The New York Times reported in August 1989 that “General Powell’s selection could stir some resentment at the Pentagon,” since he was “chosen over more than 30 other four-star generals.” Congressional aides extolled his ability to defeat Pentagon spending plans.
So for the last quarter-century the Joint Chiefs chairman has represented the president to the military, not the other way around.
That’s apparent in Gen. Martin Dempsey’s attack this week on the ex-Navy SEALs and retired spies who accuse Obama of leaking sensitive intelligence to make himself appear hawkish in fighting terrorism.

America………….the best part about this half breed imposter is that just keeps digging a deeper hole on a daily basis. The downward spiraling has picked up huge momentum and is now irreversable. Not one single country would ever allow an IDIOT to continue to president. The arrogance alone has put this guy into a corner that he will never be able to come out of. Just like Newsweeks cover stated…………..TAKE IT DOWN THE ROAD MAN ! All aboard ! Back to Kenya he goes !
Not back to Kenya, levenworth awaiting treason conviction
He should be in Jail for murder along with Holder,Clinton,Reid, and Valerie Jerratt the all have commited Treason and murder
Dochopi,,,,,,, you are exactly correct ! Do you mind if we somebody gets the ball rolling with Bush senior, Bush junior, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, Eric Holder as well as your above mentioned? They all think they are above the law. The right way would be for the Navy Seals to completely organize their own task force along with United States citizens to completely follow through with a thorough non stop investigation and firm strong hold on intense prosecution with no possibility of parole. Look at both Bushs, and Bill Clinton and the several countries that have warrants for them and wanting to prosecute them for war crimes. The last little scenario Hillary had in Egypt with the shoe throwing wasnt quite stringent enough for an individual as evil as her. Only time will tell !
