White House Makes Massive Mistake with 1 Photo, 'Outs' Intelligence Officials on Twitter

The government of Afghanistan fell to the Taliban and the United States military began a chaotic, poorly planned retreat. President Joe Biden wasn’t at the White House. Instead, he was at Camp David in Maryland.

Some slammed Biden for not returning to Washington, but the White House tried to assure us via photos posted to Twitter of video meetings he was holding with intelligence officials.

This morning, the President and Vice President met with their national security team and senior officials to hear updates on the draw down of our civilian personnel, evacuations, SIV applicants and other Afghan allies, and the ongoing security situation in Kabul. pic.twitter.com/U7IpK3Hyj8

The obvious question was why this wasn’t being taken at the White House — where, if a country where we’ve had a military presence for two decades, one would hope the president would be.

However, President Donald Trump’s acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell noticed something else problematic about the photo posted on Sunday. A close look shows the two images at the bottom of the screen Biden is viewing are marked “CIA” and “Doha Station.”

Who took this picture outing Intel officials?! Dear God. https://t.co/XsRcUVeysQ

He wasn’t the only one to notice it, either:

Heck of a job, White House communications shop. I figure you would want to crop out the teleconference screens labeled “CIA” and “Doha Station.” You panicking amateur idiots. https://t.co/ZFoICYYVwO — Jim Geraghty (@jimgeraghty) August 15, 2021

Did you just dox a bunch of CIA analysts? — Cernovich (@Cernovich) August 15, 2021

Another entity that noticed it, rather unpleasantly, was the Iranian state propaganda outlet Fars News.

Oh, we can forgive the crack Biden team this little faux pas in the midst of everything else that is going so very well. (If I need a sarcasm tag for that...) Dementia Joe was probably just flipping through the channels looking for SpongeBob Squarepants anyway.

NO ONE WANTS TO SAY IT OR USE THE WORDS,
BUT BIDEN IS NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN VS. HITLER AND NAZISM

Before leaving the "Führerbau," Chamberlain requested a private conference with Hitler. Hitler agreed, and the two met at Hitler's apartment in the city later that morning. Chamberlain urged restraint in the implementation of the agreement and requested that the Germans not bomb Prague if the Czechs resisted, to which Hitler seemed agreeable.

Chamberlain took from his pocket a paper headed "Anglo–German Agreement", which contained three paragraphs, including a statement that the two nations considered the Munich Agreement "symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war again."

According to Chamberlain, Hitler interjected "Ja! Ja!" ("Yes! Yes!") as the Prime Minister read it.

The two men signed the paper then and there.

When, later that day, German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop remonstrated with Hitler for signing it, the Führer replied, "Oh, don't take it so seriously. That piece of paper is of no further significance whatever."

Chamberlain, on the other hand, patted his breast pocket when he returned to his hotel for lunch and said, "I've got it!"

Word leaked of the outcome of the meetings before Chamberlain's return, causing delight among many in London but gloom for Churchill and his supporters.


The stupids in America have started a real WW3

Total incompetence everywhere in the Biden Administration!

After four years of apoplectic screaming about how President Trump was a screw-up and couldn't do anything right, was insane, was a traitor, was a Nazi, a white supremacist, was psychotic, a rapist, a tax dodger, an absolute criminal who should be perp-marched out of the White House directly into a federal penitentiary.

Now all we have is screw-ups, wall-t0-wall, and 24-7 blame-shifting and excuse-making. It's everyone's fault but theirs. With the MSM nodding and barking and flapping their seal flippers, with their little seal hats bobbing up and down.

Let’s face it.

Biden is nothing more than

” Plausible Deniability “

And I recall a young Lieutenant’s career ending over a lost CEOI during a field exercise. These were small booklets a bit larger than a pack of cigarettes, classified confidential, that contained call signs and radio frequencies for several days.

We always attached them to a chain around our necks for safekeeping. However, things happen when you’re in the field, and the chain could break. That’s why I kept my CEOI secured under my shirt.

I’m not expecting anyone to be disciplined here, not in Biden’s White House.

“The official White House Twitter account posted a photo on Sunday of Biden meeting by video conference with intelligence officials to hear updates on the drawdown of civilian personnel, ‘the ongoing security situation in Kabul’, and evacuations of Afghan allies, including interpreters who helped US and NATO forces during the 20-year war,” Fars News noted.

If Trump had done this the CIA would have flooded MSNBC and CNN with outraged officers screaming about treason.

But when it's one of their guys...some hair-sniffing perv with a son who sold us out to China - they kiss Biden butt then sit on their hands. One more reason Americans don't trust our 'institutions'..

Like an ump who makes all the calls for one team over the other. Short term benefit - long term disgust.

They always tell America they are the smartest people in the room and turn out just the opposite.
