Page 78 - Intelligence Failure News Today

Terms of an intelligence failure, there has been a lot of internal agents failures leading to this point but i think, you know, it is easy to say that but we have to be fair. the us intelligence community warned the president repeatedly that if he conducted timeline —based withdraw the taliban would make gains and topple the government. so that is not a surprise. what is a surprise for many is how quickly it happened and they also predicted that isis—k, an islamic state was trying to get the...

Dr. is no escaping it. dan bongino check him out at 10:00 on saturday nights. thanks, dan. >> thanks, buddy. >> jesse: host of sunday night in america with trey gowdy. got the whole weekend lineup here in one show. got to love it all right, trey. you are a house guy. you see how these things play out. its not just the intelligence failure thats happened to commanders in chief in the past. its that he ignored the intelligence, and then he gave 600,000 guns to the enemy and then stranded americans...

Of negotiation to extend it. one runway surrounded by mountains and the air power is 1,200 miles away, and you are 7,000 miles away, and we do not want a shooting confrontation and withdrawal from afghanistan. we are not going to get all of the people out, and all of people who cooperated with us, and wed have to take other diplomatic means, but i am looking at congressman mccaul and others thinking, what do you want? a one brigade fight on the runway in kabul airport? this is nuts. >> and dougl...

So i think that we run into the valiant aspirations of politicians to save as many as they can versus the cold harsh reality of how do you physically get people safely on to the airport without sparking another crush, another rush, and then also the clock ticking on the taliban-imposed deadline. nobody wants to see scenes where people lose their lives or come under risk trying to get on to the airport. and victims could be a victim of their own success. if they keep the numbers getting off the a...

Impacting this president or is he gambling that this is really going to peter out? >> what he is gambling is that at the end of this whole process -- >> whenever it is, because at the moment it seems pretty endless. >> yeah, but whenever that moment comes, he will be given credit to the president that finally got us out. obama said he wanted to do it, but surge in troops and could never bring the numbers down. >> for those that read history, was it alexander the great said it was the graveyard o...

Intelligence failure. when -- as we read the reports coming in to the white house from the intelligence community one talked about 30 days perhaps before the fall of kabul. if you are a policymaker 30 days is the lights blinking red. an incredible warning. at the end of the day cia is not in the business of predicting time and place of certain events but certainly i believe the intelligence community gave adequate warning and remains to be seen why the warnings were not heeded. >> bill: i hope i...

And our allies. and it was a terrible intelligence failure were living with the consequences in the lives but risks once it is taken place. have any leverage? possibly but its quite narrow and quite limited. the deadline without a great deal of thought about the consequences, the taliban are using it to say, this is what happens and if you do not abide by this agreement, there could be violent consequences, which will make an already desperate situation a lot worse. so we possibly have some

Joe biden said there was no warning that the terror group retain control so quickly but what did the president really know? my next guest says this crisis was not an intelligence failure but something much worse. former cia counterterrorism chief for southeast asia, douglas london is with me right now. thanks for being with me. i want to talk about the situation we led to where we are now was incompetence or political calculation. i read your op-ed, plainly you say this was a political calculati...

Situation on the ground now. there are times to talk politics and discuss what happened in the past. there are desperate americans who are on the ground right now who are being beaten. congressman, you will get a classified briefing tomorrow and you got one a few days ago. they said americans are being harassed and beaten. youve called the situation heartbreaking. have you reached out to the white house to say, do better? >> absolutely. i think right now -- first of all, i want to say a special ...
