1. Was Bibi indifferent, or arrogant?

[brush]

5. Probably wanted something to happen to strengthen his death grip...

on power, but never thought it would be so devastating.

The nation should get rid of him and never let him back in power...just as we should do for trump.

7. Remind me a little of Bush ignoring the warning about bin Laden

[brush]

8. Yes, very much so.

[JohnSJ]

16. and he got away with it. The question is what will the Israelis do. They sure aren't going to vote

no confidence in the middle of a war. The question is what happens after things are stabilized?

[Walleye]

17. Yes, can you imagine if Sept 11 attack had happened in the first year of Biden ministration?

[JohnSJ]

24. Go back to Pearl Harbor. The country was almost 100% behind FDR

[Walleye]

28. I can't imagine these brain dead Republicans ever standing behind Biden

They openly admit they think Putin is better, this would’ve been unthinkable back in the day

[SledDriver]

14. Israeli intelligence dropping the ball just does not compute otherwise

[brush]

15. Yes, there's complicity about.

[Bettie]

21. Well, he's now a "wartime" leader

and no one is talking about his indictment or him remaking the court system to allow him to continue to commit crimes with impunity.

And yes, I do think that he is their version of that orange man.

[brush]

26. Yep, there's a method to his madness.

23. What was that acronym?

LIHOP.

33. Let It Happen On Purpose.

Goes back to the days of 9/11 when Bush and co. were readily warned about an impending incredible attack and yet did little to nothing; 9/11 happens and then they eventually use it as an excuse to invade Iraq, which is something they wanted to do all along.

2. The behavior of an incompetent, under indictment piece of right wing shit.

Yitzhak Rabin would have listened and followed through.

God rest his soul.

[bullimiami]

3. You know " the pdb was something like ""attack imminent"" I know better.

How very Cheney of him.

[theophilus]

4. Seems like something like this happened before. Hmmmmm. What was it? I just can't

seem to remember.

[Mister Ed]

6. Reminiscent of Bush ignoring warnings of Al-Quida plans.

In both cases, I'm left to wonder whether the warnings were ignored out of sheer incompetence, or if a blind eye was turned to the potential attacks in order to galvanize support for their respective regimes.

On edit: I see that in the time it took me to type a reply, a handful of other posters had already voiced the same suspicions.

9. "Now is not the time to lay blame. We're at war!" Meanwhile...

Clamp down of freedoms, civil liberties, privacy intrusions, shady police and military ops.

10. "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US."

[claudette]

11. Maybe he

is preoccupied with the criminal investigations against him?

[budkin]

12. LIHOP anyone?

Shades of Dubya

[Attilatheblond]

13. Wouldn't surprise me in the least

Nothing saves a criminal leader's ass quite like sudden war.

[Walleye]

18. Biden is doing everything he can to keep us out of a war, and he's accused of being a warmonger

I really don’t think that today’s Democrats would ever think to start a war to consolidate their power power

[Attilatheblond]

22. Also, Biden isn't a criminal who is trying to circumvent our justice system

Bebe seems to have run out of reasonable legal options to save his own ass and is attacking his nation's judicial system. Then, ignores a lot of info that there would be attacks? I don't see Biden ever doing that either, nor anyone else in the DEM party, I agree with you.

[Walleye]

25. Biden has never cared to pursue wealth either, the Republicans can't begin to understand the man

Joe is motivated by the fact that he wants to do the job, and do it the best he can, for the sake of the world and the United States. I don’t think there is any Republican politician who can understand that at this point. They are all so shallow

[Attilatheblond]

32. Republicans are in 'public service' to be serviced by the public

Biden has ALWAYS done the best he could/can for the most people. You are right, they will never understand that selfless work.

[lame54]

19. He thought "What would George Bush do?"

[MorbidButterflyTat]

20. "They aren't here

to hurt ME!"

27. Is the suggestion LIHOP?

[Fullduplexxx]

29. From The g.w.bush big book of how to handle pda's

[hildegaard28]

30. He was

Too busy trying to become Dictator of Israel to be concerned.

[Igel]

31. Perhaps.

Assuming the anonymous Egyptian intelligence official is correct and telling the truth (whether getting the facts wrong unintentionally or intentionally).

And if what was said was correctly understood.

One source is the AP, but their site is currently silent on the topic, from what I can find.

The other source was Ynet, but the page that is linked to is 404.

If there's a source that claims to actually have heard the intelligence official's utterance, I can't find it. Looks like a story that was put out and then pulled for some reason, but now has a life of its on, hovering above the facts but not actually anchored.
