Ah vote vets NAILED HER over her son's deployment

[nadinbrzezinski]

yep she violated OpSec.

The 9.11 is the DEPLOYMENT ceremony

Oh and apparently the UNIT was also leaked to right wing blogs

As the wife of a USN Chief Retired... throw CID after her... it is illegal... and thanks for RISKING your son's life as well as that of his unit members

Yes, he is a front line PBI... slightly different than a Lawyer... (support)... though in reality either ticket wins that trooper or officer will be brought stateside... for GOOD reason... OpSec

If I were the Army... I'd leave the boy stateside... since mom will use him for political gain... and risk him and his unit

[qazplm]

1. ummm

Im an army lawyer, and I spent many a night in my year in Iraq dodging mortar shells. I know several who have purple hearts from IEDs, suicide bombers, etc.

There are no front lines in Iraq.

[The Traveler]

2. Then you know this is a security breach

The woman has placed her son and his team mates in a position of elevated jeopardy. She has just painted bulls-eyes on all their arses. If nothing else this should elevate concerns about her judgment.

[EFerrari]

3. Point well taken. n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. Agreed, but I am making the point for those who don't get the difference

you spent nights dodging mortars "in the rear" I get it... this boy will be out on patrol.

Slightly different

In some ways this is not that different from oh Vietnam... front lines, what front lines

[alittlelark]

12. uummm, yeah....

You are a 'Army Lawyer' and don't understand what she did?????

Are you serious?

[Blue Belle]

19. self delete

[lonestarnot]

4. Just like a NAZI to sacrifice her kid for a position.

[cherokeeprogressive]

8. There you go with that word again.

Do you ever stop and think about what you're writing?

Sacrifice her kid? How did she sacrifice her kid?

You ARE aware of a book by Hillary Clinton called "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child"?

Is Hillary a Nazi too?

[lonestarnot]

10. Yes I read that book. Has nothing to do with NAZI's like your VP.

[orleans]

30. (what's up with you lately? you seem to be drifting away from us

bit by bit)

[WA98296]

5. Loose lips sink ships. She's an idiot.

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. It drove my parents nuts

but when hubby deployed I could not tell them a thing until well after they left port

[katandmoon]

9. Good catch! You seriously need to email that observation to Olbermann .

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. I got it from Keith, who read it

:-)

[dysfunctional press]

13. they're kind of stuck, aren't they...?

he HAS to go to iraq(or fear calls of favortism, and making her speech ring hollow), but he CAN'T go to iraq(unit security)...

what wins out- military(stateside) or political(iraq) expediency will be very telling.

[kristopher]

14. She might as well have painted a target on his back.

If you have video of the speech, look at the cutaway to Track as she concludes that segment; he knows the import of her remarks. (I was hopping between CNN and MSNBC so I'm not sure which channel)

She obviously has a terrific grasp of what her command is doing in Iraq. Unfortunately, it only extends to their obligation to pose with her...

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Remember how the brits got PO'ed with the BBC when they revealed

Prince Harry's actual deployment?

They must be going DAMN COLONIALS, they are more idiotic than we thought

For the record VIP kids have served in combat, hey FDR lost a son in North Africa

But this is the first time I hear that from ANY politico

[kristopher]

22. Yeah, Jim Webbs son was over there and until he was home he only noted it by wearing the sons boots.

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. Jim Webb also served in combat in the Nam

[Dem2theMax]

16. She obviously has a terrific grasp of what her command is doing in Iraq.

Well, with all that 'experience' she has had in running Alaska... LOL.

:sarcasm:

Poor kids to be saddled with her for a Mom.

[Heather MC]

18. Maybe she is hoping he gets umm well you know in the line of duty

right before the election
think of the sympathy votes

and before anyone gets mad, this woman has exploited her pregnant daughter
her downs baby, downs children are light and noise sensitive

I wouldn't put it past her to use her son's GOD forbid demise for political gain
sorry that's the image shei s putting out there
Not saying she wouldn't miss him, but she wouldn't miss a best either

[kristopher]

24. I don't think so; she just doesn't think deep enough or know enough. nt

[Heather MC]

26. I hope you are right, but her blind ambition is frightening

I mean have we ever had a candidate in History that carts out their family for the creep show like she does?

I hear the kids didn't even know Mommy was the VP pick until an hour b4 she got on stage.

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. Junior in 2000

[orleans]

31. yes, i thought something was up with track--suddenly he wasn't

so happy.

[Tutonic]

17. Is it jsut me or did he and the other two older daughters look like

they were scared shitless listening to her. She strikes me as very domineering--almost to the point of Psycho like. Sorry if this is too far off topic.

[lutefisk]

20. I think the whole family was/is overwhelmed by what's happened in the past 7 days

And it seems safe to say she might be a bit domineering...

[kristopher]

25. Not at all, It's exactly what I saw, I agree. nt

[jberryhill]

21. She can team up with Geraldo and draw a map...

If she can find Iraq on a map.

[Beam Me Up]

27. Intelligence, you know, is no longer a requirement for taking the oath of

office as the pResident of the United States. In fact, some might say it is a down right handicap. Especially if your game plan is to present a picture to the world of a Republic that works. Never mind that evidence repeatedly indicates it isn't quite that simple. The actors in the play can play it better if they're mostly clueless, or, at least, are wise enough not to be overly curious. They rely on their advisors. These pedigreed folk come up with 'great ideas' and their selling points which are then presented by those trustworthy and common faces every tom dick and mary can relate to as 'honest'. Drill baby drill. Oh, and while you're at it, take whatever steps necessary to keep us safe from whatever bogey man you say is a threat to us.

[misanthrope]

29. None of that matters as long as it serves her ambitions...

...This woman is a sociopath.
