Maybe that's not really how we did it but that's how we want them to think we did it.....

Why would we publicize this? Seems pretty stupid to tell them how we did it.

This is the $1M question. Too many people can't STFU including this 4 star general.

Am I the only one who finds it odd that fricking terrorists are taking selfies?


I'm glad we bombed their sorry asses.

The pilots should have taken a selfie when the bomb went off and tweeted it to the dumb fricks.

Because that's probably not how they found the compound.

"Derka derka! How did they find us?!"

“The guys that were working down out of Hurlburt, they’re combing through social media and they see some moron standing at this command. And in some social media, open forum, bragging about the command and control capabilities for Daesh, ISIL. And these guys go: ‘We got an in.’ So they do some work, long story short, about 22 hours later through that very building, three [Joint Direct Attack Munitions] take that entire building out,” the general said, Military.com reported Wednesday.


"Oh... derka... hey guys don't do that again."

Interested in what you mean before I answer...

(1) They are too dumb
(2) They don't want to be known

or maybe..... Facebook will instantly send info of all people that disable that feature in the next day to the NSA to start tracking.

his kind of detailed information is the kind of stuff I wish our military would keep quiet about. Don't tell the enemy how we are finding and killing them in my opinion.


Agreed. Assuming this is not a ruse, the Commander isn't much better then the selfie-loving ISIS dude.

If that really is how they found them, although I appreciate their candor, maybe they shouldn't be letting the enemy in on this info.

Do we really think that we can turn off location services and still not be found?

I know, but I truly believe the govt. can probably track phones that have any sort of battery charge left in them at all, on or off.

This smells and sounds like a cover story for a human intelligence asset. More likely we have some kind of informant and this selfie crap is intended to throw off the scent so they don't get hunted down and beheaded.

It could very well be a HUMIT thing but why would you let the enemy know they need to turn off their location services? Not all of those guys are smart.
