In reply to the discussion: Rep. Michele Bachmann Completely Baffles John Brennan With Bizarre Questions During CIA Hearing [View all]RBInMaine
(13,570 posts)31. The White House doesn't micro-manage the military. Next, she is asking about highly classified
information that would not be discussed in any kind of specifics in open session and on matters of policy that would need to be addressed directly by the White House, Pentagon, and State Department. Next, her sweeping statements are rather ridiculous. There was intelligence around all of the groups and types of incidents and capabilities associated with the exact incidents she mentions. It is very hard to know just when any radical is going to strike. Not all sneak suicide attacks and bombings can be pinpointed to the second of occurrance. And she is also comparing low level suicide attacks to an entire nation reaching a nuclear capability. Where did this person get her law degree? From a box of Cracker Jacks?
