Didn’t Obozo de Klown say he would invade PockyStan if need be to go after Terrorists?
Waiting for the ZERO to do anything to protect the USA is going to get many more Americans killed.
FUBO!!
Who burned the agent?
The report indicates that he was “turned” by the Taliban. Before they turned him they had to identify him. Maybe they used tradecraft, maybe a mole on our side burned him. I wouldn’t put it past someone on Senator Feinstein’s staff to have leaked the information to a “reporter” or some other false flag operator. The Congress micromanages intelligence and they and their staffs leak like sieves.
Who in their right mind would trust the United States under these circumstances?
Was he acting under compunction, which being turned implies? (Agents rarely turn for ideological reasons and someone acting out of greed won’t commit suicide.) What form could that compunction have taken? Or was he a Taliban plant all along and himself the mole from the begining?
A female reporter with ABC News was on WMAL this morning. She said this CIA operation was responsible for the deaths of at least 300 taliban and alqaeda due to their providing information for UAV missile strikes. These fallen CIA officers were exceptional heroes and served their country well. Such a tragic loss for their families and for each of us.
A sad business. My first reaction was that you simply cannot trust a Muslim double agent. But in this case, it looks like someone must have leaked his role to the Taliban.
It’s possible, of course, that he developed a guilty conscience and “got religion.” I imagine tribal loyalties would have warred with religious loyalties.
Although the US is involved, much of what is going on in Afghanistan and Pakistan is Muslim against Muslim, so the lines would be far from clear for someone trying to do the right thing.
But I suspect, as several have already said, that someone leaked to the enemy, and he was betrayed before he was turned.
They probably discovered his identity, and used his family against him. He’s dead either way; he can be beheaded along with his family, or he can martyr himself and save his family.
