Did they?

Duh, US Intelligence is only good for spying on and killing Patriotic US citizens.

Surfing porn and surveilling evil white supremacist PTA mom’s is a time consuming business. What did you expect out of government workers?

Typical of liberals. They always know better than anyone, even the informed professionals.

No question our foreign intelligence operation failed miserably. That is the CIA, NSA and military intelligence.

Intelligence? That’s an oxymoron.

Not sure how you could have interpreted what I said as pro-Biden. In short, it would not surprise me if intelligence had a reasonable grasp of the facts at hand, but Biden decided what he wanted to do without regard to those facts. And screwed up miserably. If you think that’s pro-Biden, then reading comprehension is not your friend.

“We may have made a little mistake. Ha ha! Now we will watch our allies and perhaps Americans being beheaded. Oh well! These things happen! The important thing is that our intentions were good. Am I right? ‘Course I am.”

All the pointy fingers will come out now, pointing at each other.

CIA and Pentagon will blame Biden, saying we told him. Biden will say he was misled by CIA and Pentagon, and anyway it’s Trump’s fault. All busy as bees, figuring out what lies to tell, so as to levy blame on someone else.

Maybe that is the exact reason the left wants everyone to surrender their guns.

If we knew so much about their force structure, why didn’t we take them out?

Anytime and every time that you go and make comments covering for the leftist asshole Biden who is stealing my freedoms and I am going to rhetorically gut you every time like a quisling worm.

No “they” did not get it wrong., “ they” were successful. Players made money out of the excursion along with the entities driving the decision making process. People who craved power and position got their fill.

The marks are the flag waving American citizens and the local Afghans idiotic enough with what the United States bureaucracy was selling. No excuses since this BS was done many times since the 1783 Treaty of Paris.

Screw this world, it’s corrupt as hell. Jesus or bust for me at this point, US is a shell of itself.

Yes, US intelligence got it wrong: the morons who put Biden in the White House lack it.

Am now watching Fox News’ program on Woke-ism, and in the next segment, they will be discussing its links to China.
So far, the reporting has been excellent—but scary!
