Be quiet about attack

Fri., Feb. 27, 2015

Why in the name of all that’s idiotic would you announce a would-be ISIS-ousting attack on Mosul and details about troop numbers two months ahead of time? Or, wait, it’s a clever trick! The attack is really happening tomorrow.

Boy, we fooled ’em good this time. During World War II, it was said that loose lips sink ships. Worth recalling in this blabberpuss era?

Advice to all: Be quiet already.
