Brad Thor: "We handed a propaganda victory to the enemy!"

[roachcoach]

He's always been jelly that Tom Clancy predicted the future.

The guest is an idiot. I can say Jesus supplies the Taliban with this lighting bolt weapon that downed the Chinook. He runs his mouth without backed evidence. #FAIL

Brad Thor is a paranoid ultra-right wing writer who is now brining the fear to CNN. Seriously, who was the moronic producer who hooked up this guy - a feller usually reserved for Glenn Beck's house of delusional world view.

Coming up, a bike mechanic will tell you all about fixing your car, and our Nigerian correspondent will give you some skiing tips.

They've "penetrated" the Afghan government alright. Flying IUDs!

Propaganda and disinformation. No wonder Americans are so misinformed.

Did you notice that Fran Townsend says that Iran was involved in causing difficulties to the United States in Iraq and "we understand that because Iran is a neighbor, but we see it in Afghanistan as well".

Uh... lady, Iran's eastern border is with Afghanistan. Besides the Pashtuns, the rest of Afghans speak Farsi which is basically Persian. Iran has always been involved with their neighbor and relatives in Afghanistan.

[jjridge]

since none of those three talking heads can read a map staring them in the face, have to point out that Iran is Afghanistan's western neighbor.

Haha - a flying IUD!

@samschley

Obviously a slip of the tongue, but "flying IED" is more idiotic. It was probably a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG), a standard Soviet-designed weapon in mass production, and not an IRAM, which has very poor targeting capability. It is the opposite of an IED. He's no expert in weapons and I doubt international espionage and terrorism. See SpyTalk's blog "Cable TV's Counterterrorism Morons"

Yea telling the media that it was "seal team 6" is clearly a mistake it almost makes you wonder if they did that on purpose? But either way it smells of bullshit and im sure they will associate this with a new enemy to extend this 10 year fucking war, its not america its the world, the world is just fucked up and so is america. We are being prepped for a 2nd 9/11, and this time its gonna involve some radiation. Fuck i hope im wrong.

[darklighter1]

Thor drops the hammer...seriously though how fuckin stupid is this administration? Please Mr President don't run again. Save both sides of the aisle.

[MsKaren1961]

I whole heartedly suport Mr. Thor's position on this. It is not necessary that the general public or anyone need know, except of course the families of the fallen, who exactly was on board. Whoever was responsible should have known better that this information could be used by the enemy.
