The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It’s not my fault you people got wee-wee’d up 2 days ago only to have your thing fall apart yesterday.

The Atlantic released the chat today. It contains specific information about the targets to be struct, the exact time that the attack would take place, and several of the specific weapons packages that would be used. That information was placed into an unsecured channel before any of these attacks took place. There was also an after-action initial assessment of the results of the attack.

Gabbard is going to have an uncomfortable day in the House hearings, I think. Ratcliffe at least was careful enough to clarify his initial statements to say that he didn't put any classified information into the chat, and that there was no classified intelligence info in the chat. Gabbard was more unequivocal, and demurred that any weapons platforms were actually discussed - she will have some walking back to do.

As noted in the other post, the Senate national security folks were already publicly calling for investigations into how on earth this could possibly have happened - both from their committees and by the Administration. Those calls are not going to diminish now that they can see how catastrophically bad the disclosures actually were.
