I know we’ve been doing it for some time now but what the heck is our FBI doing investigating crimes in other countries?

I grew up knowing the FBI was nationally, here, and the CIA has authority to handle out of country incidents. The first time I remember the FBI going out of country was the investigation of the Cole. Since then it seems they are going out of country on a regular basis.

Right. There was a time when we had bombers and long-range missiles in silos in the midwest that might be used to “investigate” such things. Now, it’s lawyers and “rules of engagement” and such. The FBI. A big waste of taxpayer dollars that will resolve NOTHING and lead us nowhere. The most you can hope for is a made-for-TV mini-drama in which an aspirin factory gets bombed and the president is reported to have stressed over whether the night janitor was killed.

A big joke.

IF I had to guess it would be something like this:if you let the FBI investigate something you really don’t want to talk about(translate polling numbers election) you get cover until they are finished, say around Nov 7th or 8th.
