Retired four-star American General Jack Keane shared his frustration with the current administration in a Saturday appearance on Fox News Channel.
Brought on to comment on fighter jets downing the Chinese spy balloon off the Carolina coast, Keane expressed frustration that it took days to destroy the reconnaissance airship.
Senior Defense officials said they considered shooting the balloon down. However, they declined to take kinetic action after Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned President Biden about the risk of falling debris.
That timeline didn’t hold water with Keane. The Fox News senior strategic analyst believes the military tracked the airship across the Pacific. In other words, U.S. assets had ample time to pop it before reaching the West Coast.

I hear some talking about great’leadership’ and the ‘balls’ to order it downed. Listen up goofs including you prez Xi den…your comrades already got and transmitted all they wanted. We should have let Japan do their thing in 1939 and 40, then crush them. ALL BECAUSE DEMS ARE MAMBY PAMBY.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.” ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Thus speech gave me goosebumps!!!
Me too.
The enemy is not just at the gates; he’s in the White House.
If we were lucky, he’d be his own worst enemy. But we’re not.
He’s America’s worst enemy.
The Chinese got their money’s worth when they bought Xiden. He didn’t shoot down the Chicom spy balloon until AFTER it had got all the data it wanted form hovering over sensitive military installations, because that is what he was PAID by the Chinese to do. Xiden is a TRAITOR who has sold out this country to hostile powers for MONEY on MULTIPLE occasions throughout his corrupt, criminal “political” career.
“On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” ~ H. L. Mencken
I sure wished we had a downright moron in the White House.
What we got now is ten times worse.
The Gen is right.
Why not shot down before it crossed into Alaska.?
Because Biden and his DOD are weak, cowards,and indecisive.
We are in deep hurt with this mop.
Also because Milley promised he would contact the PLA before we take any action against them.
You know, a traitor
And besides that, the Chinese OWN Biden–having “donated” MILLIONS to his bank account, and this kind of ongoing TREASON is what they paid him to do!
The anti-American democrat coup has revealed itself as vulnerable to enemy states. The Chinese achieved their harvesting of the images sought.
These incompetent leftists should be replaced with actual Americans.
Biden and Austin dropped the ball on this. There’s little doubt that the data the balloon gathered wasn’t transmitted to Beijing in real time. The only information they’ll glean from the wreckage is what Sweat Shop it was made AR. Gen. Keane’s 100% correct. The Dumba$$ in charge and hid fat funky screwed the pooch on this, Big Time.
we as a country are screwed. We can stick our heads between our legs and kiss our back sides good bye
I really think this is no longer a web news that is to worried about hurting feeling as we as a country spiral into an total failure.
Biden allowed it to go across the US to get all the info China needed. That way he or his son won’t get caught sending info themselves.
As I have written before, Manchurian Candidate Comrade Chao Bai Deng has sold US down the river to his Chink comrades. Many suspect and I have read somewhere that Chairman Xi has a hand in software and perhaps hardware controlling the output of US elections. However that may be, his favored candidate won, didn’t he? Czar Putin was also clapping his hands with glee.
The threat of “falling debris” was a bad joke from the beginning. Lloyd Austin is a puppet of Biden who is a puppet of . . . .”
I don’t think we’re being told the whole sroty with this “spy balloon” stuff. As Keane points out, it was over water and other uninhabited US territory well before it crossed over the whole US. A simple bullet would have caused it to lose altitude and descend. Or DID THEY KNOW or suspect that it had a nuclear, biological or chemical warfare payload? Because of the way things played out the Chinese communists now know they could easily deliver such payloads anywhere they want and the rest of world knows it too.
