Loose Lips Sink Ships
Remember when Joe Biden spilled that pot of goop, about how within 6 months some foreign power would ‘test’ the next administration?
Back in World War II, we lost thousands and thousands of lives, learning again and again that “loose lips sink ships”. Enemies watch what we say much more closely than we do. Tell the folks that worked in the World Trade Center Twin Towers we don’t have enemies.
One of the little-publicized interactions between Presidential candidates and the US Government is the training. Candidates begin receiving foreign intelligence and national intelligence summaries and briefings. This is little publicized, and the contents are highly classified. Classified, as in “if the enemy learns this information, it will cause *grave* damage to the nation.”
He isn’t even in office, and Biden is already tipping off other nations, including our enemies, about our intelligence practices and hints about responses. The fact that Biden considers a nasty little war or something, to be worth at least a quip about McCain, clearly places a cloud of disrespect and disregard over our uniformed services – the men and women most likely to fight and die for Senator Biden’s ignorant scoffing at foreign affairs – and at our military and the encompassing responsibility of the President – National Security.
Because National Security, like Foreign Policy, is specifically the charge of the President of the United States. Little things like slipping up about who knows what kills information sources, kills uniformed servicemen – your husband or girlfriend or cousin – and *encourages* those looking for a weak spot to attack.
There is a very *good* reason Senator Biden shut up about that crack, and the other candidates didn’t respond. Things like threats of prosecution for Treason, or cutting him off from every receiving classified information again. And wouldn’t that be lovely, for a sitting Senator or Vice President?
Loose lips, and disrespect for National Security are deadly, sitting in the Oval Office.
Who do you trust?
