Biden admin under fire after defense chief’s stay in hospital ICU kept hidden — even from White House

[two_iron]

This fuckin' idiot is #6 in the POTUS succession.

I get it, a potato would be just as effective, but they should be concerned about the optics, if nothing else.

Josef Stolen is probably on a 'need to know' basis and Hussein probably figured it was better to let him keep napping and shitting the recliner... it'll clean up.

Must be nice to feel so secure in your job you don’t feel the need to inform your boss of something like this.

 

[Markle]

What makes you think that THE PRESIDENT wasn't notified?

Uhhhh...they said so?

I think that Barack knew.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

its a big deal when the Commander In Chief doesnt know where his top general is ..

He is NOT a general. He is the SeCDEF and a civilian.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

so Briben isnt the top guy at the WH eh .. the reports says the WH was unaware ...

Even if they told him, Biden would be unaware.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I think that Barack knew.

I would bet Barack visited him in the hospital a couple of times.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

he is still over the entire military .. he was promoted to General in 2010 .

He is a retired general, i.e. a civilian.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

He had a vasectomy procedure and then suffered consequences.

He probably tried to jog back to the Pentagon.

 

[Freedomisneverfree]

This is just terrible. Elder abuse.

And this idiot Biden is supposedly running the country.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

As long as we don't keep the Chinese spys out of the loop! hell they probably know more than all of Biden's staff.

That's who let the cat out of the bag I'll bet! Xi called Biden and said he was concerned about SECDEF being in the hospital and Joe said, "Who?"
.

 

[Markle]

My bet is that China et al knew within hours of each event.

 

[yidnar]

He is a retired general, i.e. a civilian.

i know that .. but he's still the top military leader under the CIC .

Ok, fine. People are talking about it. Get back to me in a week and let's see if it has any traction.
My guess is it won't.

It is a nothing burger...

The hospital where he was is set up for high level staff and they have full contact with everyone... This is nothing more that moving his office to a hotel... I think we all did similar during COVID and this is far more communicable...

I don't get the real problem...

It is Teddy's team.

Totally irrelevant if it has "traction" or not. There is a problem when a top general can be out of commission for any length of time and the White House not be notified.

Yep. That was my point. Whoop-Dee-Doo!
Just something for Republicans to latch on to.

It is not "A" general, it is the Secretary of Defense.

 

[ColonelAngus]

He must have a crazy security detail. Lots of people knew exactly where he was.

So weird.
