Hi,
I gave a good friend a ride home tonight from a meeting. He is well connected with the military and , ummm, let's just say other covert agencies of the government.
He tells me that BO made all the members of the joint chiefs of staff sign secrecy agreements last week which basically went unreported by the press. I asked my friend what that meant.
He explained that basically you agree that whatever is discussed in those meeting will not be divulged for a period of time (he said he had to sign one and it expired five years after he left the organization) or you can basically be detained pending investigation......meaning you go to jail without trial or any charges being filed other than you breached the secrecy agreement.
He then went on to say, "Suppose Obama decides he wants the Navy to reduce the number of aircraft carriers by two, basically take two out of service. BO can then say to the press that the CNO recommended it and he is following his recommendation. Now that could be (and likely would be) a flat out lie but the CNO cannot say that because he could be thrown in jail if he did."
My guess is we are going to see some wierd shit coming down the pike with BO saying he is following the recommendation of the military commanders and they will be declining comment. Then , after he is out of office and the required time period elapses there will be a series of tell all books coming out that the libs will totally deny and attack the author.
Just some more scary shit if you ask me!
