I wouldn’t tell us either. DC leaks like a sieve.
I’m sure the folks that needed to know - air force for example - knew.

Well, it’s not like they have to tell us and/or ask permission. And, seriously, do _you_ trust the US? At this point, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the terrorists would have been tipped off and then they would have moved.

Sisi is well aware that Obama hates him, and favors the other side.

Col. North on Greta said Egypt asked the US for target positions of ISIS in Libya and was refused.

If I were Egypt, I would be uncertain as to which side the Obama administration is on.
Obama and the muzzie brotherhood basically backed the overthrew the Egyptian government. They took action against the government of Libya. So I am not so sure I would want to share information with the “radical extremist sympathizers” in the Obama administration.

Our allies don’t trust Obama. And our enemies do.

This is a false story. They tried to reach BamBam, but he doesn’t get cell service on the golf course.

There is no doubt in my mind which side Obama is on — and it is NOT the good guys.
