No laughing matter

Some might find this a weird title for a rant. But after I've explained you will realize that the title is appropriate for this rant. I could have entitled it "Loose or Wagging Tongues", but I already have a couple of posts about wagging or loose tongues regarding people engaging their tongue before engaging their brain. In any case, tonight I decided to check the Fox News website to see if they had something new to report and sure enough in one section of Fox News there was a link to NewsMax. Here is what I read.

The U.S. government has revealed details of a top-secret Israeli military installation under construction by publishing its specifications for contractor bidding.

It was treated as though it was just any other project the Defense Department was involved in.

According to McClatchy newspapers, the Obama administration had promised to build Israel a state-of-the-art facility to host a new ballistic-missile defense system, the Arrow 3, designed amid Israel's fears of Iran's nuclear intentions.

Specifications released by the department include more than 1,000 pages of details on the facility, ranging from the heating and cooling systems to the thickness of the walls. But the project had been classified, and so top secret that Israel's military won't officially confirm its location at Tel Shahar, between Jerusalem and Ashdod.

"If an enemy of Israel wanted to launch an attack against a facility, this would give him an easy how-to guide. This type of information is closely guarded and its release can jeopardize the entire facility," an unidentified Israeli military official told McClatchy.

To me this is one thing that should have been kept as a secret as this is something that has to do with the National security of Israel. Not enough was that statement made but also mentioned where it was situated in the country. Now I understand why there is so much talk in the USA about their national security because some of their own officials have loose tongues. I guess it doesn't matter because it just involves the security of an ally nation and not the USA. Is that it?

Now enemies of Israel have more useful information. It’s a good thing no one has to give those wagging tongues a lollipop each time one of those tongues starts to wag like a dog’s tail, because the manufacturers of those lollipops wouldn't be able to keep up. This is the results of a nation that doesn't have a good leader.  I've blogged about that a lot lately because from what I can see with everything that has happen in the USA lately.  The actions of the president and his team makes America a laughing stock of the whole world right now and it gives happiness to the enemies of America (and Israel) just because of what is going on in the politics of the USA and because of the dis-accord, lies and scandals.

That is my rant of the day.
