Is this another link that you've posted that you didn't read?

"The Department of Defense and CIA declined to comment on the Times story. NSC and the State Department also declined to comment."

"While 20 Americans died last year in combat in Afghanistan" It is not known if the subject of this story had anything to do with those deaths. Do you think that Russia is trying to keep us on their border for another twenty years and spend another 4 trillion dollars while protecting the largest opium crop in the world?

Your link is unconfirmed, meanwhile 18 people are known murdered in 24 hours in just Chicago.

Why, are we in Afghanistan?


20 dead doesn't reflect complete misses , or wounded. Medically, we return 92% alive on wounded soldiers.

As far as I can tell, no one is denying the intel (even Fox News has confirmed the story with their sources). They are only saying no one told or briefed Donny/Pence.

The question is: why not?


If on the 1% chance the story is true the answer to your question is obvious. The simplest answer as per Occam's Razor is to hold until well into the election to try and do the most damage to Trump as they can.

Amazing how that happens what with all the strict gun control there.


Not to be outdone, NYC shootings are up 400% thanks to the worst Mayor and worst Governor in our history.

Homicides are up 25% and climbing.

This was unheard of when Rudy and Bloomberg were the Mayors, and it was the safest large city in the US.

Eleven people shot in NYC in less than 12 hours

Black Lives Murder


Interesting word change. The movement known as BLM will probably save a few lives of Black apprehended criminals per year due to police being better at not overusing force. The same movement will probably cost hundreds if not thousands of additional Black lives due to police not wanting to interact, and the municipalities not wanting to back up their police forces. And the general lawlessness the movement has supported.

Even if you negate the most controversial cases, the affected communities often watched the same result. Someone dies or is abused in police custody, police might get a slap on the wrist for it. Anyone else would probably at least get a manslaughter charge for it or serious assault charge.

Not much satisfaction in seeing it happen over and over, is there?

Abe Lincoln's quote, is true all the way down. Police have power.

That makes no sense. He’s got his cronies installed all throughout the intelligence community now (just look at his DNI). Why would they want to damage him?

This is such non issue. So the US army is fighting an active war in a foreign country. Now suddenly they need to take more protection than they already are because of bounties. This already a holly war for the Moslems they get instant access to heaven if they die. Do you think a monetary bounty will make them fight harder? The strange part is I guarantee that the bounty (if it existied) is in US$ not in ruples.

If the story were actualyl true what you have is a US traitor releasing military secrets for political gain. Mind you that is probably the type of hero you like in your all consuming hatred.

Donny is a traitor.

Doesn’t seem like a non issue to me!
