the overall security for future operations

classified intel information


basically, details/everything/anything that gets kept out of reach of these simpletons that want to know what went on and why.

You're right, CBJ7. We had no right to know about Watergate. It was devastating to national security. And Iran Contra, we certainly didn't need to know about that.

You're right. The only things government should tell us are, "You don't need to know that," "Remember how good you have it and shut up."

We'd all better off if we trusted our government more, even if they have proven untrustworthy.

Thanks for clearing that up, CBJ7.

oh yea COF, have you read the healthcare bill yet?

It’s not so much the Fast and the Furious program itself. It was a bad judgment call, but it’s not the first time an AG made a bad judgment call. It’s the cover up that is what is damning. Obama, allegedly the most “transparent” presidency in the history of the country – no world – covered up sad end to a poorly thought out program.

And then there's that whole Vince Foster thing.

Oh, and Cattlegate.

The House Oversight Committee voted to hold Holder in contempt. The White House is shielding him by trying to cover up the documents that may, but then again may not, incriminate Holder.

Neither the ATF nor Holder have the most stellar reputations.

I absolutely cannot blindly defend someone that is in the wrong just because they are liberal or a conservative. They either are right or wrong. Covering up the debacle makes it seem there may be more to the story than there appears on the surface. It certainly is just one more instance of Obama’s disregard for the actual laws of the United States and influence peddling.

Unless it involves Hillary Clinton. Then you'll not only defend her, you'll even go so far as to vote for her.

heres a better SERIOUS question


are the federal agents who were involved in the operation guilty of anything?

CBJ7, I'll let you know after we see the documents.

And BTW, Olivia has the most intelligent post in this thread so far, except for mine, of course.

Well, let's see the documents, and find out.
