#2 Hat tip to Gallant. Blocked betrayals are never a bad thing.

#3 He is just pissed the guys they having been paying for 40 years who were sitting in the bunker could not get out. Was a big waste of money in my opinion

#4 Got his fat arse chewed for having an intelligence gap. "Two State Solution" in the ditch again.....where it belongs.

Netanyahu, Gallant and company have a limited window remaining to take care of business. If Harris makes it to the WH, the military aid and intel will likely be terminated on Day-1. It is what it is.

#5 You mean like when we notified Pakistan when we took out OBL? And why didn't we? Same reason.

#6 /\ No "notification" required on that one, it was purely a business decision.

USI using a Polio Vaccine program as a surveillance cover? Paki Doctor/Intel Asset disappears, never to be heard from again? Most heavily radar covered border in that part of the world and nobody saw anything? JSOC on the ground for 45 minutes, no Paki jets scambled. Extraction (less one helo) goes without a hitch? Obama soon to be re-elected following raid? OBL family members also extracted, status unknown.

Muted outrage from Paki gov't.

Yea, well, ok.

#7 Not shared to avoid the Deep State anti-Israel types from warning their buddies.

#8 You mean our IC was caught with its pants down AGAIN?

What are we paying them for? More government make work to pay losers who could never make it in the dreaded private sector?
