simply brilliant.....

Whoa. That was not thought through.

What a stupid biatch. I hope the Pentagon has the sense to yank her security clearance.

It doesn't say anywhere in that article that it was a secret. There's even a passing reference to it being from a Washington Post article. Spare your outrage, tards.

dj_bigbird: What a stupid biatch.

Gun owners have been calling here that for years. Nice to see that she is having trouble holding in all the stupid and it is starting to leak elsewhere.

First the really shoddily written broadband amendment that would have killed net neutrality, now this? Californians need to give her her walking papers before she hurr-durrs herself any further.

I'm as liberal as the next guy but we can do better than this, folks.

The F-117 was "known" to exist in some form or another for years. However, it wasn't "officially" acknowledged to exist until 1989 IIRC.

This base may or may not have been secret, however, when in doubt about issues like that, STFU until you can find out for sure.

What if she is the best they can find? Perhaps a quarantine of California is needed.

It's at this point in time that I'd like to remind everyone that most people living in California aren't from California. CA is the receptacle tip for every other state's stupidity.

Hello? Some respect for Florida, Please.

is she trying to break Jimmie Carter's "Israel's nukes" level of stupid on purpose?

Pakistan? Embarrassed? The horror!

Wow. I said yesterday she should just retire. Now I'm thinking she should be charged or something. She needs to lose her chair and membership in the Senate Intelligence Committee, at minimum.

DeadZone: is she trying to break Jimmie Carter's "Israel's nukes" level of stupid on purpose?

I was going to say, half tounge in cheek, that this was as well kept a secret as Israel's nuclear arsenal, and therefore not a big deal.

What did Carter say and why was it stupid?

FFS, never let facts and reality get in the way of impotent rage. Not that I find her to be that great of a Senator. But I'd imagine there are much better things to be annoyed at with her. See net neutrality.

Feinstein is an idiot. If anyone in the Intelligence Community had said that with press around they'd pull your clearance and you'd likely be out of a job.

First the net neutrality bill and now this.

Yeah, if the govt hasn't publicly announced it, its a secret.

Even worse is if it isn't true and this coont not being able to keep her facts straight strains relations with Pakistan for no reason.

Feinstein and Pelosi have got to be two of dumbest people I have ever seen in politics. How they ever got positions of power astounds.

She should be prosecuted & thrown out of office.

See net neutrality.fark that. Net Neutrality doesn't get people killed and put our servicemen and women in harm's way. This is 10,000 times worse than that. Even if it was information which was assumed or known by insiders, you can't just put soldiers (ours or pakistanis) at risk by being stupid.

Wooly Bully: Pakistan? Embarrassed? The horror!

Compromising our ability to root out bin Laden and terrorists in safe havens in Pakistan? Yes, the horror.

dj_bigbird: I hope the Pentagon has the sense to yank her security clearance.

If this was a secret, then she not only lose her clearance but her spot on the committee, and possibly face criminal charges.

If not, then she is merely dumb (not criminally so) for bringing it up in public.

The Pakistani government said publicly 2 weeks ago they wouldn't allow US Predators.

No understanding with US on drone attacks (new window)

if this country knew what really goes on in its government, and boardrooms, and backoffices, there would be millions in the streets protesting.

the key is keeping the sheeple in the dark and stealing their wealth/labor.

Why is it we have to either get the Republicans that hide every single thing they do, or Democrats who don't know when the appropriate time to STFU is?

Crosshair: dj_bigbird: What a stupid biatch.

that and net neutrality, FISA, and the Patriot act.

Californians, get this stupid biatch out of office now.

Yes yes, having the CHAIR OF THE GODDAMNED SENATE INTEL COM CONFIRM THE DATA IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE WAPO REPORTING IT.

How do you manage to type, being that stupid? I am awestruck.

Why the surprise and outrage? Undermining the military is a plank in the democratic platform.

pd771: Why is it we have to either get the Republicans that hide every single thing they do, or Democrats who don't know when the appropriate time to STFU is?

For most, its an all or nothing kind of thing because it takes less effort.

Seems that the stupidity of the republicans for the last 8 years maybe surpassed by the democrats. Although I really doubt that any farkers on the left will ever acknowledge this. Rarely did the farkers on the right admit to the stupidity in the past.

The Democrats could end up pissing away their majority, not due to any corruption or disagreement with policy, but simply because people think they're inept.

That having been said...

but former U.S. intelligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information,

"The information is sensitive, so I don't want anyone to know that I'm confirming this..."

Dick.

Debeo Summa Credo: What did Carter say and why was it stupid?

"Carter, responding to a question, said, "The U.S. has more than 12,000 nuclear weapons, the Soviet Union [Russia] has about the same, Great Britain and France have several hundred, and Israel has 150 or more ..."

Israel as never said it had nukes.

mild7: Why the surprise and outrage? Undermining the military is a plank in the democratic platform.

Do we give you a +1 for that? It seems +1 worthy.

Fark Feinstein. Fark the Washington Post, and fark the tards who are okay with this. Can you imagine this happening during WW2? She needs a good kick in the teeth, and to be tarred and feathered along with the WaPo reporter. Thanks for undermining our troops and ally you stupid coont!

The dems won't be happy until this nation is a smoldering pile of rubble. Feinstein is is just doing her part to help make the liberal dream a reality. I wouldn't be shocked if we end up with a State of the Union address ending with Barry offering nuclear launch codes to the terrorists as a form of appeasement. You dems make me both vomit and weep for my country.

No you weren't. You were playing "F-19 Stealth Fighter". Everybody thought the Stealth was in service in a rounded, scoop-wing airframe. Tom Clancy wrote it up that way in Red Storm Rising. They even made a model kit.

It wasn't until 1988 that they acknowledged it officially and it turned out everybody had guessed wrong.

She's not an idiot. It was on purpose. Easier than just leaking stuff to the NY Times

NOT a good move, dumbass. What a goddamned stupid thing to say. And I'm a full-fledged libtard.

Lost Thought 00: She's not an idiot. It was on purpose. Easier than just leaking stuff to the NY Times

If she did it on purpose, she's an idiot.

If she did it by mistake, she's an idiot.

Lost Thought 00: She's not an idiot. It was on purpose. Easier than just leaking stuff to the NY Times

The point of leaking things is so you don't have to suffer the fallout. What happens now when Pakistan faces internal dissent and forbids the US from using the base anymore.

Officially the US wasn't speaking to Syria or Iran during much of the Bush administration, but it was an open secret that there was a lot of communication and cooperation. It's the same as having Predators based in Pakistan without anyone admitting it, those governments wanted to deny they were helping the US. So now a US Senator blabs the information and seriously embarrasses one of out allies.

Good work, dumbass.

Putting on a tinfoil hat, I wonder about the timing of this. The base was a secret for at least months if not years under the previous administration, gets outed within weeks of the new one taking over.

Apparently, she doesn't understand the sensitivity of the population in Pakistan regarding this. Not a smart comment.

US Troops have been in Pakistan since 2002 at PAF Shaheen, they even built air conditioned barracks for them.

Hat Madder: Good work, dumbass.

I think it's just pure dumbass-ness on her part. The administration would have absolutely nothing to gain by embarassing Pakistan's government. And there WILL be domestic fallout for them because of this. Guaranteed.

Whoever runs against her next time should hammer this point hard. I think it makes her unfit to serve.
