Tnx Thou. “It Gets Worse”...
...Now comes a report from Bill Gertz in today's Washington Times that three intelligence reports in the days before the October 3 ambush warned that the Taliban were planning an imminent attack. Gertz says commanders dismissed the reports as "insignificant" because they were not specific and corroborated, and they didn't stand out from hundreds of other intel reports. Nevertheless, an unidentified U.S. official contends that, as Gertz puts it, "despite the Army's characterization of the reports as insignificant, some of the reporting was included in finished intelligence that circulated in classified channels throughout the region before the attack. Finished intelligence is material that has been analyzed and determined to be of value."
Obama's just trying to give the Taliban the benefit of the doubt.
Ping to 61.
It looks sadly like the taliban IS afghanistan’s future. No way can this continue.
It is getting harder and harder to keep up with this every damn day. The news is worse and then even worse.
For any or all of us who have family memebrs or friends serving this muslim in chief, we pray harder and harder for our loved ones.
Those who have fallen are Home now. They are free and resting peacefully in GOD’s loving arms. I thank GOD we had them with us for a time. I pray GOD to see them again one day.
Amen.
