Can anyone here that comments explain to me that after 9/11 and literally billions spent on the intel community, billions spent in new ISR sensors/aircraft/satellites, billions spent on defense contractors to monitor all of that ISR and the expansion of thousands of defense contractors and civil service intel analysts and not counting the billions spent on the NSA ----we still are not able to do exactly----what?
That was the excuse for the delays in Desert Storm in Kuwait as we only had two intel analysts on the Iraqi desk ---but now--come on there has got to be a better reason for the misspending of literally billions of dollars.
Washington Post from today:
It could take months to build “necessary intelligence architecture” to expand the air campaign already targeting the Islamic State in Iraq, officials say.
We see the same thing in the Ukraine--NATO/US announces Russian artillery and troops are inside the Ukraine--Moscow says no they are not prove it and the US/NATO goes silent---does anyone have an explanation for the apparent true lack of US/NATO intelligence capabilities--or do western leaders just like to hear themselves talk to the media?
Maybe the WH should hire the bellingcat blog site and use open source bloggers --they seem to be at any given moment in time to be better informed than the WH and the entire CIA/DIA/NSA/DHS.
But again maybe they are just trying to lull the IS into believing they have more than enough time to prepared in advance for what is coming---who knows?.
