Did the Pentagon delay issuing the cause of the Afghan crash |
|
until AFTER *'s speech? It seems suspicious to me - he never mentioned the crash (though it had been in the news for hours) and he never mentioned Afghanistan at all (at least as far as I could tell.) My guess is that they knew the helicopter had been shot down, but tried to keep it quiet because the speech would have looked even more idiotic than it was if this news had broken just ahead of it.
