Comments on: Able Danger and the USS Cole http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2006/01/19/able-danger-and-the-uss-cole/ Rory O'Connor's blog Sun, 14 Mar 2010 17:39:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: CSARdiver http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2006/01/19/able-danger-and-the-uss-cole/#comment-71711 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 00:09:38 +0000 http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2006/01/19/able-danger-and-the-uss-cole/#comment-71711 Kirk Lippold got what he deserved. He was in no way responsible for the Cole bombing, but he was a marginal officer and terrible leader. The only disservice was promoting him as far as they did in the first place. I served closely with the men and women onboard DDG-67 since it was commissioned in '96. The previous two captains (O'Brien and Nolan) were exemplary commanders and everything military officers should aspire to be. Lippold just did not have that essential quality of leadership. Just because he was not at fault during the Cole bombing is no reason to promote a sub-standard officer. Kirk Lippold got what he deserved.
