Team one (DoS/CIA) are really putting Team two (WH/DoD) on the defensive with this leak. [Pentagon video at bottom]
According to a Politico report, using leaked classified intelligence from the U.S. intel community, the Pentagon knew well in advance that a suicide bomber was coming to the Abbey Gate long before the explosion. According to the leak, the military knew where and when the attack was coming; and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned allies to avoid the area.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Joint Chief’s Chariman Mark Milley, and CentCom Commander General Kenneth McKenzie all knew in advance the Abbey Gate was going to be bombed on Thursday, yet they kept the gate open.
(Politico) – Just 24 hours before a suicide bomber detonated an explosive outside Hamid Karzai International Airport, senior military leaders gathered for the Pentagon’s daily morning update on the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan.
Speaking from a secure video conference room on the third floor of the Pentagon at 8 a.m. Wednesday — or 4:30 p.m. in Kabul — Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin instructed more than a dozen of the department’s top leaders around the world to make preparations for an imminent “mass casualty event,” according to classified detailed notes of the gathering shared with POLITICO.
During the meeting, Gen. Mark Milley, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned of “significant” intelligence indicating that the Islamic State’s Afghanistan affiliate, ISIS-K, was planning a “complex attack,” the notes quoted him as saying. Commanders calling in from Kabul relayed that the Abbey Gate, where American citizens had been told to gather in order to gain entrance to the airport, was “highest risk,” and detailed their plans to protect the airport.
“I don’t believe people get the incredible amount of risk on the ground,” Austin said, according to the classified notes.
On a separate call at 4 that afternoon, or 12:30 a.m. on Thursday in Kabul, the commanders detailed a plan to close Abbey Gate by Thursday afternoon Kabul time. But the Americans decided to keep the gate open longer than they wanted in order to allow their British allies, who had accelerated their withdrawal timeline, to continue evacuating their personnel, based at the nearby Baron Hotel.
American troops were still processing entrants to the airport at Abbey Gate at roughly 6 p.m. in Kabul on Thursday when a suicide bomber detonated his explosive vest there, killing nearly 200 people, including 13 U.S. service members. (read more)
Pentagon Spokesperson John Kirby was furious about the intelligence leak when questioned earlier today. WATCH:
.
The U.S. State Department and Intelligence Community (Team 1) are really targeting the White House and Pentagon (Team 2) with this leak.
The deepest part of the Deep State is attempting to protect itself.
This is murder.
At this point, nothing would surprise me. Pray for our soldiers, they will be sold to the highest bidder. God protect them.
To anyone now considering enlisting, just say “NO” to yourself and run away from recruiters as fast as you can.
Otherwise you may become the equivalent of a Star Trek Redshirt.
Expendable.
Just stay ready and alert to be an American defender.
I’m team C.I.A. (sarcasm) because this is their op and only THEY know the entire story.
The Clowns In Action are responsible for most conflicts around the world and like many in the DOD and White House have no problem offering up or kids for slaughter
Those cockpit windows sure look curious.
Yeah. Very interesting video.
WTF?!
That plane must be getting towed. No way the engines are running. Imagine the ear splitting noise if the engines were running. How about the back blast from the engines?
Look again. There aren’t any engines in the cowling. the windows are painted on, not inset glass. Looks like a dummy plane to me
The 747 they used to blow the cars away was throttled up to full power for the demonstration. Planes do not use full power to taxi but, only upon receiving clearance to take off or in this case for purposes of demonstration. It still would have been very loud, the cockpit windows are weird. It almost looks as though it is being towed by something unseen with a large crowd celebrating like perhaps they think they captured it. A plane left behind at Bagram? In this day and age, how can anyone know if any video is raw or manufactured? It is certainly not impossible to be true. People don’t care about ear protection at times like this. Heck, they were handing babies through razor wire hoping the child will be taken somewhere else.
I imagine a giant plane like that needs quite a bit of power just to taxi. But who knows anymore. Just looks fake to me.
It’s not.
Pushing conspiracy theories like this only hurts us.
“Feeble-brained withdrawal” correct! Impeach him, and all who goes along with him.
Check My Spiro Watch Joe dosnt want to take questions about Afghanistan. Not an interesting subject apparently for the “foreign policy expert”. Hey anyone seen Kumlots? She still in Vietnam eating fish heads and rice? Boy, good thing she aint a part of this Afganegeddon.
TaliBiden Afghanegeddon 😉
Leaks cut both ways, wonder if team 2 are going to counter-leak or perhaps a person is going to say, ‘a pox on both your houses’ and leak damaging info on both teams.
That would be something to see! Deep state eating its own, if only it didn’t happen at the expense of our country.
What country?
“At the expense of country”
OMGoodness, that’s too funny
That’s a good one.
Yep, maybe they will destroy each other.
Let them eat each other.
is that Surgeon Mouth on display?
Bill Gates does the same thing, I think . . .
Does the deep state read TCH and wanted to prove Sundance wrong by leaking to Politico (which usually is on the side of “team 2”)?
This is all a distraction from voter fraud and the illegitimacy of this administration. Now that being said, I feel there is more to this than meet the eyes. I don’t know what but something more sinister. I don’t trust them and looks to me that they’re lying. None of it is an accident or ineptness. They knew and let it happened. The question is why? and what’s next in there evil plan? They claim all this threat with the Afghan’s people and yet they’re bring them to the US unvetted. Doesn’t make sense.
Yes and no. This is them pressing forward on their agenda to get ahead of anything about revealing the truth. Things are heating up VERY quickly right now. My question is what the CIA team are doing. Am I to presume they are in the Obama camp and are working to get Harris installed?
The way I see it, some things are a distraction. Other things are advancements in trying to get things done (as in take over!) before they get caught and stopped.
now they are using our blackhawks to hang people and fly around in full view of us. forces.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/08/openly-mock-us-now-taliban-hangs-traitor-throat-us-helicopter-kandahar-left-behind-joe-biden-video/
Pretty bad when the taliban have more Blackhawk helicopters than 85% of the countries in the world.
That’s by design. Definitely intentional.
https://trendingpolitics.com/we-will-bring-the-whole-fing-system-down-marine-lt-col-resigns-wages-war-after-biden-afghanistan-disaster-crugg/
Find out who has stock in a new generation helicopter and you’ll know the intent.
Usually when a government is dirty, it’s careful not to be leaky, unless it’s leaking on a duly elected leader that is not compliant. It feels like they’re openly failing to provoke patriots (civilians and military alike). What on Earth??
Hubris.
They hamstrung President Trump for four years and stole his re-election from him with zero consequences.
Probably makes you a tad arrogant. /s
The Military is the new Boy Scouts. Ruined by the left.
Merit badges awarded for treason.
Highly coveted in the JCoS.
I think the medal for the tragedy should be a lovely LARGE rainbow flag.
Dimensions 2×3″ and worn at the knot of the tie. Forever.
Milley gets one, McKenzie gets one and others TBD.
Lloyd Austin should but he’s not in uniform any longer. Make it honorary and mandatory to wear.
The Officer Corps.
We need perspective.
So does “Team One” have a nominee for a replacement for JoeBama?
She’s already standing in line.
Big Mike.
It would be nice if these deeply disgruntled individuals would start demanding full forensic audits for this past election – get those numbers high in all the States where their legislatures can no longer ignore, that would be a way to begin fixing this mess.
This is all beyond me. I’m so confused how we came to know this.
? because the intel people wanted us to know it, to cover for themselves.
the good LtCol. may be in for some arkancide
Nah…..they are going to make this guy look like a crazy. Most of the combat forces if I had to guess are quite similar to the LtCol in more ways than one. When the brain trust of the admin started head hunting these guys earlier in the year they probably didn’t have the foresight to think what would happen if we had to rely on the woke soldiers to actually fight a war. This has always been a problem with ideologues. If this brave soldier’s words/actions carry on too far and others join him that will be a disaster of epic proportions. The woke soldiers are for fighting and terrorizing their own people as expressed by that girl a couple days ago threatening to shoot all of us.
If you question your masters you must be crazy.
Yes, very KGB, pray for his safety and his freedom.
I will help in any way I can, he can at my house, I will donate, I will do whatever I can for him.
We need more like him so we need to support him. I hope he is getting massive support.
Thinking Republicans, there’s an oxymoron, should be considering if they can use this dynamic to further push the government out of balance. We need some men with no names treating this like A Fist Full of Dollars.
1/2 dose Benghazi 2012 +
1/2 dose Iran 1979 =
1 full on shitstorm 2021 and beyond
Poso: “Message from an IC officer, “They’re cutting out interpreters tongues.””
Democrats wish they could the same to the anti-mask, anti-jab crowd.
Democrats are so jealous they can’t do the same.
How in the world do they know how to fly one of those? Who’s the one that taught them how to fly it? Could of been our own military or CIA?
Taliban in the Afghan army. We trained them.
Is the “leak” real information or a ploy?
As though the military is not aware of the risks of concentrating Americans and friendly Afghans at a chokepoint.
This is chumming shark infested waters with live bait.
These are our elites in action, the best and brightest among us. Unreal.
“Pentagon Spokesperson John Kirby was furious about the intelligence leak when questioned earlier today.”
So let me get this straight: You’re FURIOUS that someone leaked, but you don’t give a damn about all the lives lost because of your evil decisions?
I don’t trust either side, the Pentagon much less the Intel leakers. They all gotta go.
But if they want to take each other down, I like that a lot.
Make it vicious. Pelosi style. Go for it.
But they will sacrifice pawns in such a game, that’s our military folk, and civilians too.
Those were righteous brave American soldiers. Most of them were in their 20’s. What a huge loss to us and to our country to take those in service -young men and women- and throw their lives away. It makes me cry. The cold anger comes after that.
my gawd! If this was during Trump’s presidency, first TRUMP would be up there, and they would not be asking or expecting answers this feeble. they would be falling over each other and yelling their questions. AND TRUMP WOULD BE RESPONDING TO THEM. Biden is off having his tapioca pudding and afternoon nap. This is irreparable. WOW!
Whatever the reason is they wanted this happen.
I don’t know if I’m more angry or frightened. This is NOT the USA! This is some fascist evil that’s taken over.
QUESTION: Where were you when you first realized this Republic had been taken over by traitors and Communists?
America was completely taken over by the enemy on November 3rd 2020. That was when American voices were officially silenced.
I agree with that – they succeeded in destroying our right to choose. The consent of the governed is no longer applicable to the USA.
This is an extraordinrly well coordinated attack on We The People. The cancel culture, the censoring, the false flag events involving the FBI, the DOJ pretending there was no evidence of a stolen election, COVID which allowed the mail in ballots to cover up the steal., now this intentional debacle in Afghanistan apparently designed to completely discredit the USA leadership and military power …somewhere in the world people have gathered together and planned this. They are fearless and I put NOTHING past them.
It was Nov 3/4 and I was looking at my TV. There was some kind of announcement about a few places gonna “stop counting” ballots for little while.
Watching election returns in Nov 2008.
This is the USA we are now seeing that part of her team 1 and 2 never wanted it’s citizens to see.
Nobody that matters will act on this, unfortunately.
I didn’t Vote for any of you “Leakers”.
Makes sense that they did. Heard someone on Fox on the same day as the attack, someone with inside info, maybe Oliver North, that the Turks left before the attack when they were supposed to have stuck around until after we left.
So is ISIS now sponsored by an American Cereal Co.?
Like I’ve said before, it’s ALL intentional. It doesn’t have anything to do with incompetence.
It’s no accident that we left the taliban 84 billion dollars worth of military hardware, and huge piles of money.
It’s all a big joke to the imposters in the White House.
https://trendingpolitics.com/as-taliban-offers-biden-deal-to-unfreeze-assets-to-extend-deadline-huge-stacks-of-cash-reported-left-behind-in-afghanistan-knab/
Agreed this was all part of the globalist objective to disembowel the USA on the world stage.
To further enrage those of whom all of this matters.
To compromise the military and future military endeavors.
However most importantly to advantage China whose agenda is global domination.
The Taliban are laughing it up too. They know they now have us surrounded, from WITHIN and WITHOUT. They worked at this for 1400 years and Joe Biden threw open the doors for them.
From July: “Attorney General Merrick Garland has reined in the Department of Justice’s ability to secretly obtain reporters’ phone and email records, after an outcry about the over-zealous hunt for leakers by the Trump administration.”
OOPS!
Yeeeaaaaah…….
That will only apply to the Trump administration.
It will NOT apply to Biden’s administration.
Someone made team Biden look bad. They will be hunted down legally or not and exposed.
Watch and see.
And not one thing will happen to them. Just like everything else evil that happens in DC.
On the topic of our generals, Chase Bank notified General Flynn that they were cancelling all his credit cards – get this – because having him as a customer WAS DAMAGING THEIR REPUTATION!
Just in case you want to send them a little message…
“My butt’s been wiped”- Feckless, Dementia-Ridden Piece Of Crap
So CNN works for the Pentagon?
CNN interviewed ISIS K two weeks ago. CNN knew their location and the desires.
It’s not really a leak when it’s on CNN.
It was decided to let the attack happen.
That would sure keep Americans from getting on flights.
There must be something valuable in trading Americans for more pallets of cash—-even after leaving our equipment, weapons, and loads of cash behind.
Those left behind were those who knew too much
Just like Benghazi
We’re going to trade KSM for a couple hundred Americans and a Humvee.
To become and remain a General, and get more stars and ribbons, in today’s Woke / CRT / LGBTQLMNOP modern progressive action military means one must continually be able to demonstrate an unmatched ability to look for trouble, find it everywhere, diagnose everything incorrectly and then misapplying all the wrong solutions.

Excerpts:
President Joe Biden arrived at Dover Air Force Base on Sunday with the intention of paying his respects to the 13 U.S. service members killed in last week’s terror attack in Kabul, Afghanistan. But according to at least one family, the president’s attendance at the solemn ceremony was anything but respectful.
One of McCollum’s sisters, Roice, said she and her sister and her father joined McCollum’s wife, Jiennah McCollum, on the trip. But when it came time to meet with the president, they left the room, because she said they did not want to speak with the man they held responsible for McCollum’s death.
Only Jiennah, who is expecting the couple’s child next month, stayed. But she left disappointed, Roice said. The president brought up his son, Beau, according to her account, describing his son’s military service and subsequent death from cancer. It struck the family as scripted and shallow, a conversation that lasted only a couple of minutes in “total disregard to the loss of our Marine,” Roice said.
Like the Wuhan Lab, there is much more here to illustrate we could/should have done something.
Will those who awarded the Taliban a country and arms supplied by US taxpayers need to resign or be held accountable?
As many have said, this would not happen without the cooperation of US leadership. Leaving legal US citizens and soldiers asking why?
Is dereliction of duty something they can be court marshaled for?
This is a leak they will pursue.
And that’s our problem.
Prosecutorial discretion is at the heart of our ills today.
People forget Obama team went after whistleblowers!
I hope Sundance will write on this…because I can’t, in polite company express my thoughts and feelings about this:
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/08/these_reports_out_of_kabul_are_too_awful_to_believe.html
And from the twit-wire, and contained in the article above is this awful, awful tweet…
(Sorry for just the links, I don’t know how to embed a picture.
I doubt they are dead. But I suspect they wish they were.
I would have thought that Obama and the Muslim Brotherhood were on the same side. I get that it can’t be put in a nutshell.
Maybe a war for the crown between the Clinton faithful versus Obama faithful? Hillary has to hate Obama with the passion of 1,000 hells for taking the presidency away from her. It’s not like she wouldn’t move hell and earth to get even.
Clintons would sell anything to the highest bidder. Just regular mobsters that were really good at selling America out of the back of a truck for billions on the dollars. They excelled at uniting the evil underworld, narcos, gun runners, human and sex traffickers, with help from the CIA, but also FBI. And it was under Clintons that the mob stole Wall Street.
Obama was good with the community organizing and Biden the Russian/Ukranian connections. Definitely more of a communist bent.
Globalist mobsters versus the communists vying for the crown?
China v/s Globalist Mobsters v/s Islam. The smarter globalist mobsters would not want China to get more control as China’s communism goes against the game they have going. Islam does it for the love of Allah. China does it for China. China hates Islam. China isn’t going to want to pay off foreign Globalists once China has enough control.
I don’t see the globalists commanding enough muscle to win this fight. CEO’s of multinational banks, boards and NGOs etc., etc. can be easily targeted by ANY of these ruthless forces. And while the globalists certainly pack a murderous punch, China has spies and plants in every government and in every university etc.
Islam will never be able to unite amongst themselves but they CAN unite against others. They can’t be tamed.
No doubt the globalist faction wants control of our Executive Branch away from those more connected to the communists.
it’s like Risk. The game has shifted. New alliances are being formed. You can’t look at it through the prior prism. As they say, generals tend to fight the last war.
As you know I don’t do media news any more, and mostly streaming. I’m a court show junkie & watch Hot Bench at 2.
The have breaking news mostly about Hurricane quite often..
However, when I changed to Hot Bench one of the news casters was literally ripping Bidden apart on Afghanistan. He was almost livid about what Biden has done to America. I was like DAMN.
How stupid do you have to be to leave a huge cash stash as you are leaving. I am betting they even left the keys in the ignition to all that machinery. it’s just sickening how much waste there is in Government.
We wanted to drain the swamp and instead America is being drained by the swamp. They’ll just take our homes and land away to pay for this. Starting to think we are all on Bidens hit list.
Nothing says “We dont care” like leaving all that booty so the Taliban can use it to destroy the world. It is obvious we are at war with our government. We just collectively dont know that yet. A nation destroyed without firing a shot ( well, except for the one that killed the DC unarmed “insurrectionist”). Nice job guys. Let me know when its our turn.
“Unlawful disclosure of classified material”? These ba stu rds left a whole embassy full of classified material. Hypocrites
Hey Milley, can you hear my white rage now?
F-ing TRAITORS
HANG THEM ALL !
I wonder if Milley at least ordered a Pride flag to be flown at the airport as we left. I’m sure it was heavy on his mind.
So, SD, does THIS:
Pentagon Hit by Intel Leak
“According to a Politico report using leaked classified intelligence from the U.S. intel community”
and THIS:
Left-Wing Politico Sold for $1B to BIASED German Company Axel Springer | Newsbusters
mean Politico is now
Team Foggy Bottom Spooks rather than Team Pennsylvania Avenue MicFumblers?
Any other time in history this would begin with investigations leading to court martials of those in the Pentagon for doing nothing to prevent this attack, and to firings and criminal charges against those in intelligence and the Department of Defense for treasonous behavior. Lt. Col. Scheller is completely justified with his demand for accountability. Alas, we now live in a time where good is bad, black is white…. There will come a time, a moment, where these worthless slugs will cross a line and accountability will be meted out in a different way.
