I thought that was just from the old 1970s TV show Wonder Woman?

Oh so we can't blame Bush anymore but we can still complain that Carter should have been impeached?

*shakes head*

Again, I believe a former Seal, you believe a bureaucrat.

You and others like you are certainly using them, apparently think they should break their oaths, and I find that deplorable, being a veteran myself.
Of course I believe a former Seal commander. I think it is deplorable some would want to tarnish his good name. We have seen very public examples of soldiers passing on classified information for the public good. Many were lionized by the left (see the Pentagon papers).

I tend to believe that actual SEALs are professional enough to not disclose classified information.

Are you suggesting that soldiers who disclose classified information are always unprofessional? Be careful........

Everything obama does is political.

If there was no political bounce for him, there is no way he would have killed his brother UBL.

You are correct and I didn't see I left out the other "1",

It is the F-117, it has the fighter designation but has no defensive abilities and is only a weapons carrier for groud attack.

Point hasn't changed, Carter "Outed" the top secret plane.

I am beginning to suspect that you are trolling. If so, you need practice.

So the word of an ex SEAL trying to cash in with a book carries more weight for you than multiple current SEALs' statements? Do you see how incongruous the two are? You see, if you believe this ex SEAL then you must call the SEAL team 6 SEALs liars. Are you calling them liars? If so, please expand upon the logic behind believing this author who has probably is just trying to score some quick cash, over these current SEALs.
