Common Sense

“I wasn’t a great communicator, but I communicated great things, and they didn’t spring full bloom from my brow, they came from the heart of a great nation-from our experience, our wisdom, and our belief in the principles that have guided us for two centuries. They called it the Reagan revolution. Well, I’ll accept that, but for me it always seemed more like the great rediscovery, a rediscover of our values and our common sense.“
- President Ronald Reagan

Bin Laden - DEAD - Did we just give the Chinese and Pakistanis stealth technology?

While I feel great relief from the killing of the mass murdering terrorist Osama bin Laden, I cannot help but wonder if we caused more harm than good for ourselves in our raid of the Abbottabad, Pakistan compound. 

I mean this not in the sense that we may create more terrorists or be on the receiving end of revenge attacks.  I mean this in the sense that we had to blow up one of our stealth helicopters and leave it there at the scene.  Thus leaving being a highly exploitable stealth aircraft which is now in the hands of our enemies. 

Well, now that wreckage is GONE.... no where to be found and most likely in the hands of the Chinese military now being exploited for it's stealth capabilities. 

WHAT IDIOT AUTHORIZED THE USE OF THESE STEALTH HELICOPTERS AND DECIDED IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO LEAVE IT THERE AFTER IT WAS DISABLED ?!?!?!?    Take the damn thing with you...tow it out if you have to but don't leave highly sensitive military gear laying the backyard of our enemies, disabled or not, this was a STUPID, I repeat - STUPID thing to do. 

I cannot but help to think that by getting bin Laden we simultaneously gave away our most valuable military technology to our enemies.  Talk about counter-productive. 

While getting Osama bin Laden was a good thing, the reports of the details of the post raid actions clearly show the amateurish nature of the Obama Administration.  While in it's zeal to get bin Laden, The Obama Administration may have just given away the keys to the US military's stealth advantage, thus rendering our military and all future operations extremely exposed to new stealth countermeasures which will be created by studying the stealth helicopter wreckage left behind.

I can only hope to God himself that the Obama Administration is doing EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING it can to get that helicopter wreckage back, ALL OF IT.  IT CANNOT GO TO THE CHINESE!!!!!!!

So while killing bin Laden was great, I fear we just helped dig our own grave by giving away the stealth secrets we use because we left that stealth helicopter there. 


STUPID!!!!
