SHUT UP!

Why in Heaven’s name do politicians and military personnel give out information on the United States’ war strategies?  Hell, I knew when and where additional troops (the “surge”) would hit the ground in Iraq.  If I did, the enemy sure did and they used it to their advantage by moving locations, laying low and stashing weaponry. 

The President today refused to comment on troop reductions.  Nancy Pelosi did however comment saying ”The president’s Iraq policy will result in the same number of troops committed to an endless war in Iraq at the end of this year as were there at the end of 2006.”  This statement makes it seem as if all of the “surge” troops will be withdrawn by year’s end.  WHAT THE F#@K?!  Is Nancy trying to win this war and keep the enemy off balance or are is she more interested gaining political points from stalwart anti-war supporters regardless of tipping off the enemy to our strategies?  This constant running of the lips is not limited to democrats and republicans, generals and other  commanding officers have open their mouths too.  This is a lot like yelling to your friend with a bullhorn while hiding in a game of kick the can. 

Remember, loose lips sink ships.  So, shut up already!
