The media can't keep a secret

[USABlackBear]

All these armchair warriors on the various news channels with their invasion plans are tipping the hand of this country. In their effort to be first with a story, these guys are forgetting the fact that they are putting peoples lives in danger by telegraphing possable future plans. The suprise factor is being thrown out the window by some of these dudes. I hope when the time comes to invade, they will at least wait 'till it's well under way before they let the enemy know it's happening. Reminds me of the election when the exit poles make some on the west coast stay home 'cause they already know the results. Keep it close to the vest boys.

What?!

Do you really think they let the media into strategy meetings?
Or does Bush call aside his media buddies and say, "Hey guys, I like you, so I'm going to tell you something Top Secret, so don't tell anyone....here's our plans for retaliation...."

Do you think the military doesn't take into account the speculation of the media when making plans like this?

This is all strategic, The media knows everything right now because it is a strategic way of getting the Opposition to come out of its holes.

You missed my point. No shit these guys aren't privy to any plans. What I'm concerned about is the fact that with all this speculation, someone is bound to guess right. And more important, like I said, I hope when the time comes, they realize they are being invaded by gettin a missle up the ass and not finding out by watching CNN.
