During WWII, WE called it “Chaff”…The Brits called it “Window” and the German Luftwaffe referred to it as “Duppel.”
What was it?
It was pieces of aluminum dropped from aircraft to confuse radar.
Today’s military uses flares to confuse missiles fired at our aircraft and ECM to confuse radar.
It all adds up to one thing.
Shiny objects.
Shiny objects are distractions and meant to keep our eyes OFF the real story and this administration wants us to chase the shiny objects.
The REAL story is Benghazi.
David Petraeus…Shiny object.
Paula Broadwell…Shinier object.
The You Tube video…Former shiny object now dull
The election…Shiny object.
Hurricane Sandy…Shiny object.
Now we have NEW shiny objects…
General John Allen and Jill Kelley!!!
Jill Kelley is some sort of government social liaison who knows the Petraeus family and had something to do with alerting the FBI to the relationship between David Petraeus and Paula Broadwell.
NOW we learn that there are between 20,000 and 30,000 “inappropriate” emails floating out there between…
Jill Kelley and…General John Allen who leads our military in Afghanistan!!!
It’s sexy.
It’s salacious.
It’s intriguing.
It involves espionage, the head of the CIA, an FBI investigation, suppressed knowledge of those at the highest levels of government including Holder and Obama, a link to a General in command of forces at war…emails…careers…
Ummmm…The REAL story…
As we head into the back straight of the 2012 election, speeding toward November 6th, expecting the dirtiest campaign in history, one thing is clear.
Sometimes, what we know NOW as opposed to what we knew THEN can make a great deal of difference in clearing the picture.
