The Biden regime missed the dealiest attack on Jews since World War II after the administration diverted assets away from the Middle East to Ukraine last year.
Over 1,300 Jews were slaughtered last week by the Hamas attack on southern Israel. Over 120 Jews were taken hostage by the barbarians.
Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe joined Laura Ingraham on Monday to discuss the pogrom in Israel less than two weeks ago.
Laura Ingraham: "I want to get into the value of our intel going to Israel at this point because there have been some questions about whether information that we had about a potential attack ever made its way to Israel, and whether we had sufficient intel on this. So there is some new reporting tonight that is claiming that the CIA intel on this Hamas attack never reached Biden, saying that they were dismissed as routine and “US intel agencies were focused on other international threats primarily China, Russia, and Iran. And this strategic shift in priorities may have contribute to this lack of attention given to intelligence on Hamas.”… So CIA might be trying to cover its you know what, John, but. they’re saying, we saw this was going to come and they were distracted with other priorities. It reminds me of what happened before 911."
John Ratcliffe: "Well, I have talked with folks within the intel community presently that have indicated that unfortunately, the Biden administration may have redirected or retasked some intelligence assets away from the Middle East to Ukraine. And I don’t know whether that is the case, but I do know this, Laura. We both want the United States to be the ally that Israel needs right now. But what’s inescapable is the fact that National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan was on national TV doing a not so humble brag two weeks ago saying that the Middle East has never been quieter and he’s spent less time on those issues than any of his predecessors in the last 20 years. And that is a whiff of epic proportions because obviously, just two weeks later the Israeli people have suffered the worst atrocity since the Holocaust.
And so the role that the US should be playing, Laura, is that our best intelligence enterprise, our human intelligence, our signals intelligence, our geospatial intelligence should working hand in glove with the Israelis to support them in what they need. But I think there are real questions about our own intelligence assets and capabilities as directed by this administration."
As John Ratcliffe said – Another whiff by the Biden administration. And now there are 1,300 dead Jews and likely more.
Unbelievable. Just wow.
John Ratcliffe is a man of integrity…….
…..what he said today rings disgustingly true!
Biden didn’t put AMERICA first…..
…he’s too busy shoveling our money and security to Ukraine
The US has multiple intelligence satellites the size of a city bus in orbit. Did they move them(or aim them) all over to their pet project in Ukraine, or were our guys just using those assets to watch Netflix?
Biden shifted the National Priorities Intelligence Framework from real world threads like ISIS and Iran to issues like climate change. Biden literally had national intelligence handle non-intelligence issues while giving Iran billions.
It was not about shifting resources to Ukraine or anywhere else. Biden deliberately shifted national intelligence away from its mission.
Anything to distract from Biden family corruption.
Stop defending one of the biggest debacles in US foreign policy history.
Who thought it was a good idea to have defenseless Kibbutz and music festivals a few miles from the fence?
Instead of being fortified and armed to the teeth?
So a bunch of primitives could smuggle thousands of missiles into an area that’s like a prison with thousands of cameras...only 2 ways in or out. They got more than a thousand terrorists out with dozens if nliot hundreds of vehicles.
The iron dome happens to be shut down that night.
No way that happened without traitors inside. He’ll, I bet Biden knew about it.
Naaah, he’d never be involved in anything like that
He’s got a bit over a year left (ample cause for impeachment but for some reason this isn’t happening!) Will we survive it??
The gratuitous pandering to Piano Balls had many wrongs, but none so wrong as described here.
How Hamas amassed thousands of rockets to strike at Israel

Hamas’ Advanced Weaponry: Rockets, Artillery, Drones, Cyber
EXCERPT:
In the 11 days of the 2021 war, Hamas launched 400 rockets a day, nearly four times the daily average number of launches in 2014. Hamas also launched six suicide drones during the war. All were intercepted by Israel, some by classified means.

HAMAS UNDERSEA NAVAL COMMANDOS
EXCERPTS:
The IDF identified a Hamas naval base already in 2016, before announcing the sea tunnel [discovered in 2018]. An investigation showed that it was financed “with funds siphoned from the United Nations Development Agency (UNDP).”
“Hamas has invested a lot of resources in the construction of this tunnel,” a senior Israeli Navy officer said. “We consider it a ‘blue tunnel’—from land to sea. The Hamas commando unit has dozens of fighters, with civilian diving equipment that allows undetected movement underwater,” he continued. “Such measures are effective in the three kilometers between the tunnel and the border.”
As late as May 2021, Israeli naval and intelligence officials expressed concerns over commando units infiltrating from Gaza into Israel, as they did in the July 2014 war.
[August 1, 2021], after the 2021 Gaza conflict, evidence suggests that Hamas imported weapons through an underwater tunnel on the Mediterranean coast. The “stevedores” tasked with unloading the submersed arms deliveries were Hamas naval commandos, numbering some 400 divers. The underwater “dock” may have even hooked up with the “Metro” tunnel system beneath the promenade so that arms shipments could be directed to the appropriate al Qassam units.

At least the “invasion of Ukraine” more or less ended the “COVID-19” pandemic.
Did you see any sky blue over yellow face masks?
Neither did I.
The longitude of Donbass and Tel Aviv is the same, so when at least some of our assets were over that meridian, they almost certainly would have been focused on finding more Russians to kill - while the Jews were left in the dark.
I assume we missed it because we seem to miss important developments. Iron Curtain coming down, 9/11... The ones who shocked me are the Israelis. Gaza is literally in their backyard, and they missed it.
How many strike outs does Biden need before the MSM and big tech abandon him?
1. Afghanistan: epic failure, so bad it belongs in the history books, afghans trying to escape falling from our planes and all.
2. Ukraine: total failure. Ukraine is a mess (economic, infrastructure, population implosion, etc), they are not in NATO (the political goal and cause of this war) and they lost 18% of their land (the military objective was to prevent this).
3. Israel: ? TBD but already on a bad trajectory. CENTCOM isn’t prepared for this. Our attention is now split between Ukraine and Israel. We emptied large stockpiles of weaponry in Israel a while back (sent to Ukraine), and who knows if we have depleted ourselves in some resources and ability to help Israel if things go really bad (of course our folks are willing to lie and say all is fine and stamp “secret” on everything - so there is no real telling)... That whole argument of depleting Russia, yeah, that goes two ways.
This administration has cost thousands their lives (including many Americans which we just do not talk about in our factual, objective, non-propaganda news). We have squandered billions in tax dollars. We have been set back in terms of national security (we are less safe today than in 2020).
We can only hope that the next year don’t bring us WWIII as more of the world slips into war (think Iran, PRC, North Korea - now is the opportune time to jump in if you want to shake things up), or God forbid a nuclear exchange with Russia if we do manage to destabilize them somehow.
This administration is like a fool on a slot machine that has lost money and thinks that by pulling the lever more we’ll get a better outcome. Their gambles as with Afghanistan and Ukraine have been horribly ill advised and their solution has been to simply chase a failure with more money and resources. In case one of these geniuses in our administration reads this: gambling is about odds. What were the odds of Russia invading after our NATO gamble with Ukraine? What were the odds of Afghanistan standing on it’s own when we did a hasty withdraw with little to no transition?
US aid to Ukraine has not been wasted.
How much aid did Israel divert to Ukraine?
Practically nothing.
Yet Israel were the ones surprised attacked.
IMHO, history will shown that the WH communists knew beforehand the details of the raghead attack...
Anti-Semitism knows no bounds in Marxist theology...
“Missed”
Bullcrap. Biden approved it at the request of his Iranian pimps. Biden hates everything not Biden and is owned by our enemies. Our enemies have info on the Biden syndicate . Chomo Joe would let millions die to protect his rotten nasty family.
Oh, so it’s Israel’s fault Hamas was able to butcher innocent Jews in their homes?
