Known to Brak Ubama and Valarie Jarret.
Which is the same as telling the enemy where you are.

One might think they had a security problem. Perhaps one of their non-Islamic Muslims was a turncoat.

That’s bad.. Reminds me of how the Taliban was able to assassinate Ahmad Shah Massoud of Northern Alliance a couple days before the 9/11 attacks. This should be at least a small red flag about potential terrorist attacks in the US.

Their side is playing to win.

Our side is waiting for the results of focus groups.
