Gah...How???
Once again, this administration is 'leaking' important documents to the enemy...
Or at least what most of us think is the enemy...
Earlier on Monday, a defense department official confirmed to the Guardian that an in-depth inquiry was under way into how the two documents, attributed to the US Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency, came to be published on the Telegram messaging app four days ago.

The first document is titled “Israel: air force continues preparations for strike on Iran and conducts a second large-force employment exercise” and the second is “Israel: defense forces continue key munitions preparations and covert UAV activity almost certainly for a strike on Iran”.
Full article, HERE from The Guardian (pretty sad when we get better news from the UK than our own media).
I don't know about anybody else, but I'm beginning to wonder who's side this administration is really on.
Between pushing for an early cease fire, and now doing the same with Hezbollah, to dealing with Iran for $$$ and hostages...
And 'indications' that there are players at State, and possibly deeper inside the administration that are more than friendly to Iran, plus not knocking the Houthis down when the Navy had two carriers worth of attack aircraft setting there, instead they send a couple of B-2s to hit 'specific' targets...
I'm not saying we were perfect in the past, because we damned sure weren't, but the last three years of one security violation after another, either through DOD, JCS, or the administration 'officials' are enough to make me concerned about our future security.

Old Joe and the Navy SEALs.
Alger Hiss under FDR. Heck, the fact that FDR wasn't on the list to be warned about Japanese intelligence puts into doubt that president's ability to keep his mouth shut.
General Washington knew the importance of spying on your enemy. We sure do seem to elect buffoons after him in that regard. 🤬
Let's remember that aside from anyone's security clearance level there is that all important "need to know". So, if some key bureaucrats in the administration deign that "Iran has a need to know" then "poof", it happens. I think all this security clearance shenanigans began when the Clinton administration came in and the vetting standards had to be relaxed somewhat for security clearance background checks. Ditto for Congressmen, Senators and even a President since then. Nah, our elected government thinks it needs the flexibility to tweak things in non-traditional ways in order to grease their agenda. Far better than going in dry. Who are we to second guess the smartest men in the room?
