So did President Trump learn something from the documents he had? What exactly does he know abut Netanyahu? It does seem that Netanyahu was caught with his pants down.

He's stating the obvious. There was a massive intelligence failure, otherwise they would have cancelled the music festival that was the initial massacre site and where hundreds of hostages were taken.

Not exactly an illuminating point that we all aren't aware of. Obviously he wasn't prepared.

Trump vs Biden

The choice is clear...

 

[Tom Paine 1949]

Trump said Hamas leaders were very “smart.” In no world can Hamas’ behavior of killing innocent men, women and children be considered “smart.” Only Trump — and Hamas supporters — could say such a thing at this terrible time — right after Hamas launched its murderous attack killing some 1,300 Israelis … bringing down on its own people’s heads inevitable retaliation from Israel.

This lunatic narcissist — and still likely Republican candidate for President in 2024! — also ridiculously argued that were he still in the White House the very “smart” Hamas would never have dared invade Southern Israel!

Trump loved Netanyahu when supporting him helped Trump get elected in 2016 and distinguished him from the supposedly “soft” Obama / Biden / Clinton Administration, but today he dislikes Netanyahu … and not for his corruption or many wrong policies. Trump has a deep grudge against Netanyahu because he called Biden and congratulated him for winning the 2020 election! That was simply unforgivable to Donald Trump. He expected more “loyalty.”

Oh, and supposedly Netanyahu also “betrayed” Trump in somehow not actively enough participating in the execution of Soleimani!

Netanyahu may indeed suffer because his government and intelligence agency dropped the ball and did not see this attack coming or prepare for it. Netanyahu used to read his own intelligence reports carefully — unlike DJT. Quite likely he has been mostly self-interested — just like Trump — in staying out of jail in the last period.

Most of Israeli society itself has also grown self-absorbed, concentrating on enjoying life or dealing with its own internal political divisions. Half of it has been especially busy fighting Netanyahu’s attacks on judicial independence. It has also grown more or less complacent that the Palestinian problem was well in hand. This very complacency, as well as the possibility that the Saudis might recognize Israel in the next period, may have been the major factors driving Hamas leaders to go for broke in this barbaric attack.

It was eveident they were not prepared. the Israelis were hunted down for hours before help even came. It should have been there in minutes. Was Trump wrong to state this fact? I'm sure he wasnt the only one to say it.

What would Trump know? That’s right, he knows better than the generals snd certainly better than the generals of some third-rate country.
