Politics & Religion / Re: Intel Matters
« on: January 31, 2019, 03:55:23 AM »Working from memory, the CIA et al have a very uneven record on assessing threats, including under Bush 43 saying Iran was not working on nukes-- which had the effect of enabling the Euros to justify doing business with Iran as Bush 43 was trying to get our beloved allies to act as such in the effort to squeeze Iran.
There's more in this vein and there is the entire matter of the Obama intel apparatus (Brennan, Clapper, et al) playing Deep State. Who leaked Trump's conversations in his first month in office with PM of Australia? with the President of Mexico? and much more , , ,
I may be misreading your point here, but sometimes I am surprised your positions. You clearly support our troops, police and etc. However, you seem to lack a similar sentiment to our intelligence professionals and their service. On this point, please remember that the DNI is the statutory head of all members of the intelligence community, which includes military intelligence, and many agencies which support the military mission of the United States, including DIA, for example. Many of the members have missions which support missions you approve of, and have much success in achieving those goals, including for example, the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence.
