#2 I wonder if this is one of the 33,000 e-mails that was deleted and not recovered by the FBI?

What a bunch of nonsense in that e-mail, a note full of nuance, incompetence, and naivete addressing an area where the third world war is going on hammer and tong with folks cutting off heads, blowing themselves up, full on genocide...

#3 And this is why, boys and girls, we don't publish classified information at the Burg.

#4  She should be in prison

Looks like Podesta should be as well.

#5 The only thing that will keep her out of prison is winning the presidency, and the only thing that will allow her to win the presidency is the Trump wing of the Republican Party.

#6 Horse, barn door. Sour grapes. Much whining.

#7 Perhaps the one thing you can say about about the establishment types - they can at least win elections. This is a task that seems to be eluding Trump.

Why bring it up? Because we will be going through this again in four years, and it's important to understand at what point the process broke down - if, that is, you want to fix it. I submit that whatever happens next month, the primary process is a disaster and needs an overhaul.

Yah, that Mitt Romney really kicked ass back in 2012.

#9 And yet the MSM is more concerned about destroying Trump with alleged groping scandals which is likely to never have occurred as more info comes out. The women claiming to have been groped will get their check and disappear after the election.

Think of it as an intelligence test for American People.

The People that elected Obama twice? We're boned.

#12 Thing From Snowy Mountain:

Yes, even the execrable Romney has won more elections than Trump has.

#13 1. HRC wins election.
2. HRC dusts of Chavez/Maduro playbook.
3. Activates Operation Venezuela North.
4. Things get really ugly for everyone, including HRC.

#14 Paul, why doyou think things will get ugly for HRC as we move to become Venezuela North? She will be safe - she has the Praetorian Guard (Secret Service) around her. And she can call out the military to put down any open revolts.

Of course, in the later Roman Empire, many of the emperors were murdered by the Praetorian Guard.

#15 Yah, that Mitt Romney really kicked ass back in 2012.

He was running against the left's Reagan*. What excuse does Trump have, given that he's running against Hillary? After 4 years of Obamacare, he's too cheap to run ads or too lazy/distracted to raise money to run ads against it, so all independents know about him is what they hear from liberal network news and Hillary's ads, i.e. that he's a no-goodnik. For a GOP candidate, the minimum required to be competitive in any election is not some kind of secret - you need to run ads to counter liberal media attacks and your opponent's ads among voters who don't pay much attention to politics. Instead, Trump is running around giving speeches to people who already support him.

When Trump loses by a bigger margin than Romney, his excuse will be that down ticket pols deserted him. In reality, he deserted them - by running a crappy campaign, he put them in danger of defeat. He's losing not because they're abandoning him - they're abandoning him because he's losing, and they don't want to go down with the ship.

* Just how good is Obama at politics? He's got a 50% favorable rating among likely voters after 8 years of presidential overreach, and below par growth.

#16 The article is ridiculous. Combined arms attacks have been around since antiquity. A good number of ISIS leaders are veterans of both the Afghan and Iraqi campaigns. They know what precision airstrikes can do, in coordination with even crappy ground elements (i.e. Afghan and Iraqi troops). Hillary has screwed up in lots of ways. This isn't one of them.

#17 No reference should be made on an open system of any tactic employed or available for use against ISIS.

#18 Can you grasp the concept of "classified information," Zhang?

#19 It's hopeless Pappy. But it's not just hopeless here. Sadly, it's hopeless on a national level.

#20 Can you grasp the concept of "classified information," Zhang? Talking about times, locations and specific targets, yes. This is just a general reference to tactics used in the past - tactics discussed ad nauseam by grunts up to general officers with the media and addressed in much greater detail in books about the Afghan and Iraqi campaigns. It is also available in eye-glazing detail to anyone who can lay his hands on a current Army field manual, copies of which - bootleg or original - are undoubtedly all over Iraq.

#21 Can you grasp the concept of "classified information," Zhang?

My basic point is that what the article claims to be classified information probably isn't - i.e. the author is either ignorant or misinformed and stretching the bounds of what he actually knows re the classification status of that information.

I agree with you about Trump being a horrible candidate, but I'm not going to talk about it until after the election, unless it's to tell you if you hated him so much you shouldn't have nominated the son of a bitch.
