Civilians have been killed for years due to attacks like this one, and hindsight is always right on target., yes? The General can and should talk to his counterpart to assuage his or her fear of a rogue attackAs someone still working in the military I can tell you it does NOT happen....unless someone at the 'top' overrides procedures and safety protocols.
1 person does NOT make the decision to fire a Hellfire missile into a vehicle containing children. The news reported that the CIA tried to call off the strike - that means multiple military entities were monitoring, analyzing, and attempting to identify who was in the vehicle. Military Ops, Military Intel, the Drone Pilot....and since the CIA said it tried to stop the strike that means multiple people inside the CIA was watching the drone footage and attempting to identify who was in the vehicle - and ended up believing (correctly) there were kids in the car.
President 'Wrong-About-Every-Foreign-Decision-He-Has-Ever-Made', who completely f*ed up every decision about the withdrawal from Afghanistan and knew he was already catching hell for getting 13 US servicemen and women killed and was about to leave Americans behind, who was scaed to death of another terrorist bombing that would kill more Americans, needed a 'win' desperately....so he, Austin, or General 'Righteous Strike' Milley gave the call to strike the vehicle without definitive confirmation of who was in the car.
At the bottom of the 'kill chain' is a group whose entire job is to make 100% that striking a target is of greater need than the risk of killing civilians. Included in this group is a JAG who has a hammer on the call to strike, making sure by law everything goes down legally. THEY would never have made this call to strike. It had to come from above, from the top, meaning either the CENTCOM Commander (McKenzie), the Chairman of the JCS (Milley), the Sect of Defense (Austin), or Biden's handlers.
All 4 of these people, and Psaki, have been declaring as loud as they can that their 'Over The Horizon Strike Capability' (the ability to strike from another country with no boots on the ground in the country you're going to conduct a strike) has been proven to be a huge success......when the strike that just killed 10 innocent people, to include 7 kids, showed the exact opposite. It was a disaster.
Oh, now it’s “could be”?To you and your ilk, everything said is a lie when it could be wrong info that they received or exaggerated info. Get real. Shit does happen. Could be a lie or over-exuberant reporting.
Why are you repeating yourself over and over. Youf opinion has already been debunked...by OBAMA SECT OF DEFENSE & OTHER ADMIN MEMBERS. THEY say he should bi removed from office, investigated, & charged....they say it was sedition & treason....Civilians have been killed for years due to attacks like this one, and hindsight is always right on target., yes? The General can and should talk to his counterpart to assuage his or her fear of a rogue attack
by an unhinged government official who is behaving in an obtuse manner like we have now.
Ok, give us something that makes you believe that was going to happen. Other than the speculation of a traitor.
Oh, Trump didn’t leave office on Jan 21?
Ok, thank you for once and for all proving you are seriously mentally impaired, nuttier than a bag of walnuts, and that you SERIOUSLY are delusional and can't accept reality.
Hillary's attempt to smear Trump failed.
Barry's political coup attempt failed.
PRESIDENT Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, who should never have been allowed in the race anyway since criminal FBI Director James Comey publicly declared Hillary DID break laws but excused her crimes by saying she was too stupid to know she was doing it.
It was always "could be" because we are the receivers of the info and not the reporters, yes?Oh, now it’s “could be”?
You are a very poor storyteller. "Removed from office, investigated and charged", "failed coup attempt"? Really? No wonder you are known as imbeciles.Why are you repeating yourself over and over. Youf opinion has already been debunked...by OBAMA SECT OF DEFENSE & OTHER ADMIN MEMBERS. THEY say he should bi removed from office, investigated, & charged....they say it was sedition & treason....
....and after Barry's failed coup attempt, if anyone should know what sedition / treason looks like it's Barry & his administration officials...
(The fact Trump is hip deep in bed with the Russians isn't really in dispute.)
HUN, I am tired of this bullshit...I was THE FIRST person to say that CHINAS virus was a bio-weapon...way when they released accidently infected their own with this thing. I don't watch FOX news---I am an atheist who doesn't like their christian overtones and like to RESEARCH for myself. FACT is that this a BIOWEAPON..FAUCI and the CHINESE set about to purposely weaponize this virus. These are the facts.....Um, yeah, he just kept raising the rhetoric level, getting his Faux News Zombies to make bullshit claims about bioweapons, to the point where the Chinese WERE getting nervous and someone had to reassure them this was just a lot of talk.
The Chinese didn't unleash anything. We just didn't take the problem seriously and we STILL aren't.
Gee, I don't know, trying to avoid World War III? I think that's actually a good thing.
I don’t believe there is any a question there is plenty of evidence O’s and Joe’s people committed treason by spying on the Trump campaign. Yet nothing has been done to investigate, expose and prosecute the perpetrators.Not to TDS-suffering, irrational hate-driven, reality-denying psychos like you and other snowflakes who keep pushing this debunked bullshit.
The entire Russian-Collusion narrative that Hillary started and Barry took up in an attempt to overthrow the newly elected govt through his failed coup attempt has been completely debunked...even by the Democrats' criminal former FBI Director Mueller.
The ONLY ones who were collaborating with the Russians and foreign ex-spies were Hillary Clinton and her criminal team and Barak Obama and his treasonous Cabinet.
- Barry was busted for running this coup, with Joe Biden sitting in on the meetings. He used the Russian Intel Service (RIS)-authored propaganda to base his entire coup on.
- CIA Director Brennan was caught illegally spying on CONGRESS, Key Trump members, and others
- FBI Director Comey was busted by his own agents who testified that the FBI ran its own internal investigation before Mueller came aboard and found NOTHING to the 'Russian-Collusion' LIE. They brought Comey's mentor on board because he would work with Comey and had a history of having no problem putting innocent men in jail. Comey had already covered for Hillary's crimes. Comey was also relying on a Trump-hating foreign ex-spy who was on the FBI's payroll while working for the Russians. He delivered the RIS-authored propaganda to Comey.
-- The Deputy Secretary of the State Department interviewed the foreign ex-spy, he lied to her, she caught it, and she testified she IMEDIATELY notified Brennan and Comey that he was untrustworthy and could not be believed.....this was before the official investigation began.
-- Comey leaked classified information and threw Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe by testifying under oath that McCabe had illegallyl eaked classified.
-- Comey was found to have ignored all WH rules and protocols to take advantage of the 1st few chaotic days of the Trump transition into the WH, by-passing everyone he was supposed to get permission from 1st before sending agents to visit and entrap Flynn. It was proven the FBI lied to McCabe by telling him he was not being interviewed again as part of any investigation and that he did not need a lawyer, that they were just talking 'off the record. (That's some of that bullshit Mueller used to do to put innocent people away in jail, which e taught to Comey obviously.)
This only scratches the surface of the criminal shit that was exposed about Barry's failed coup.
So Barry, by way of his criminal FBI Director, was working with the RIS and used their propaganda as the entire basis for his coup attempt.
- MEANWHILE DURING THIS WHOLE THING JOE BIDEN'S WORTHLESS WAS LAUNDERING RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS' MONEY.
Which brings us to Comrade Biden, who the Treasury Department and DHS publicly declared they had evidence that Joe and his family had engaged in criminal financial crimes and scandals, such as Influence Peddling, Russian Money Laundering, and taking $1 BILLION from the CCP. That wasn't enough money from our enemies, though. It has been exposed that during the election Biden took MILLIONS FROM THE CCP & RUSSIANS....AND THEY HAVE GOTTEN THEIR MONEY'S WORTH SO FAR AS BIDEN HAS GIVEN THEM CARTE BLANCH TO 'RAPE & PILLAGE' THE US WITH CYBER ATTACKS & BIDEN SUPORTING THEM IN THINGS THEY HAVE DONE...JUST RECENTLY BLINKENREMOVED FROM THE STATE DEPT WEBSITE THE DECLARATION THAT THE US WILL 'STAND WITH HONG KONG'. BIDEN IS READY TO GIVE OUR ENEMY HONG KONG WHENEVER THEY SNAP THEIR FINGER, SORTA LIKE HOW BARRY GAVE PUTIN CRIMEA.

If you remember, if Trump attempted to do anything against any of the Democrats were ready to go after him again for 'Obstruction' and more.I don’t believe there is any a question there is plenty of evidence O’s and Joe’s people committed treason by spying on the Trump campaign. Yet nothing has been done to investigate, expose and prosecute the perpetrators.
What did Don do about this? Appears very little.
That’s the thing. Don needed courage and intelligence, which he lacks. These people may have committed treason. That’s big stuff for the survival of the nation, unlike the fake insurrection.If you remember, if Trump attempted to do anything against any of the Democrats were ready to go after him again for 'Obstruction' and more.
If Pelosi thought she could Impeach Trump for Jay Walking she would have tried.
Instead of suing his niece, he should sue Clapper, Comey, and Brennan. Use that supposedly fantastic wealth to get the truth.If you remember, if Trump attempted to do anything against any of the Democrats were ready to go after him again for 'Obstruction' and more.
If Pelosi thought she could Impeach Trump for Jay Walking she would have tried.
Why would you connect social media shutting down Trump with "generals"? The neocons have been "at war" with social media since before Trump even thought of running in 2016.With the advent of social media censoring Trump and President, as they take down all his tweets and refuse to air his points of view in the general media, and with Biden having his mic cut off at moments that might cause him embarrasment, because he often goes off script and begins to talk about crazy stuff, like children enjoying rubbing his hairy legs, I got to thinking, who or what really runs the country? You can't think Joe Biden does as he tells reporters he is not allowed to answer certain questions
After listening to General Milley say that on his own initiative he is making phone calls to Chinese generals telling them his commander in chief is insane, but not to worry that he has everything in control because he is the one in control of the US armed forces, is Milley one of the ones who actually runs the country? Is he telling China the same thing with dementia Joe as President?
Did the country have a silent coup that no one knew about?
That’s the thing. Don needed courage and intelligence, which he lacks.
Isn’t it evident Trump’s dumb and a coward? After all, he lost to an old warmongering deep state demented fool. Proof enough, but there’s lots more. For example, he totally mishandled the George Floyd murder. Had he demanded an end to police brutality, he wins the black vote and re-election. He put neocons in position throughout his administration, thus proving what a fraud he is.Where the F* do you get THAT?
Unlike all of the Republicans before him, who were too weak, didn't have the balls, to stand up to the Democrats and lap dog Leftist media, Trump shocked Democrats and the media by standing up to them, by fighting back, by not only defeating them but DESTROYING them.
Obama and his criminal organization was exposed for their lies and crimes - Barry's coup attempt failed.
- Obama is now the 1dst / only President in US history to ever attempt to overthrow the US govt by attempting to illegally and treasonously removing the newly elected President
Pelosi is now known for being the 1st Speaker to ever
- Try to Impeach a President Twice (AND FAIL)
- Try to Impeach the SAME President TWICE (AND FAIL)
- Try to Impeach a President with ZERO crime, ZERO evidence, and ZERO witnesses
The WSJ is now known for winning numerous Pulitzer Prizes for continuously, intentionally reporting lies / propaganda.
CNN's viewership is in the toilet
Trump took every criminal, treasonous attack the Democrats launched, and he BEAT them.
Isn’t it evident Trump’s dumb and a coward?
Agreed but you’re talking about someone else. Right? I’ve given you facts and my opinion based on those facts. I voted for Don the first time and supported him, until he proved to be a fraud. Why can’t you see the truth? Don’s a fraud!!!No, but it is obvious that snowflakes are TDS-suffering, obsessed, irrational hate-driven, reality-denying, mentally unbalanced sheep.
I can agree with almost everything you say here.Great column from the just deceased Angelo Codevilla. RIP. A truly great man.
Abolish FISA, Reform FBI, & Break Up CIA
Angelo Codevilla
**********
In sum, we find:
Finally, we outline the steps that presidents and Congress might take to improve matters:
- CIA is obsolete. Cables show agents’ intelligence takes are inferior to diplomats’. Agent networks are unprotected by counterintelligence. FBI success at counterintelligence ended when the Bureau was politicized and bureaucratized in the 1970s. CIA bottlenecks and incompetently controls strategic intelligence, while the Army and Marines show demonstrable tactical superiority.
- As a result, CIA is ideologically partisan. Its strength is in leading or joining domestic campaigns to influence public opinion. FBI has followed suit.
- Senior intelligence officials were the key element in the war on Donald Trump’s candidacy and presidency. CIA used meetings that it manufactured as factual bases for lies about campaign advisors seeking Russian information to smear Hillary Clinton. Intelligence began formal investigation and surveillance without probable cause. Agents gained authorization to electronically surveil Trump and his campaign and defended their bureaucratic interests, sidelining Lieutenant General Michael Flynn and denying or delaying Trump appointments and security clearances.
- Partisanship produces failure. FISA has incentivized political abuse. “Profiling” has failed repeatedly in high-profile cases like the Atlanta Olympics bombing and the anthrax mail attacks. Perjury trapping has become commonplace.
- FISA must be repealed legislatively or through Constitutional challenge in court. It unconstitutionally mingles judicial and executive power in secret. It gave Intelligence a blank check. Hardly “an indispensable tool” for national security, it is now indispensable for partisanship. Broad consensus exists for a legislative “fix,” but none is possible. The secret court’s existence, the heart of the law, allows partisan bureaucrats and allied judges to do what they want in secret.
- Functions currently performed by CIA should be sheared down. Data infrastructure and consultant networks should be eliminated. Bipartisan opposition to the Intelligence threat should use fierce resistance and lobbying from Intelligence as evidence of why cuts are in the national interest.
- CIA must be disestablished. Its functions should be returned to the Departments of State, Defense, and Treasury. FBI must be restricted to law enforcement. At home, the Agencies are partisan institutions illegitimately focused on setting national policy. Abroad, Agencies untied to specific operational concerns are inherently dangerous and low-value.
- Intelligence must return to its natural place as servant, not master, of government. Congress should amend the 1947 National Security Act. The President should broaden intelligence perspectives, including briefs from State, Defense, and Treasury, and abolish CIA’s “covert action.” State should be made responsible for political influence and the armed services for military and paramilitary affairs.
Abolish FISA, Reform FBI, & Break Up CIA
