This is nothing new, agent.007. Nixon promised to try and break down barriers between them, too. So did others. Obama isn’t to blame, the intelligence agencies are.
There are good reasons to separate domestic from foreign intelligence work, but I think it might be time to dismantle the doggone the CIA and start over. And take out the NSA while we’re at it, since they seem to be an American SS.
The serious problem on 9-11 was that the former SOP for communication between FAA and the military had been terminated by Cheney. Thus the delay in scrambling interceptors on that date. (Check out the earlier incident with Payne Stewart’s aircraft crash.) Communication breakdowns between the intelligence agencies can indeed NOT be blamed just on that administration, OR this one.
^Remember the FBI wanted nothing to do with torture camps during the Bush administration. As a matter of fact a lot of people quit or retired during that era from the FBI. The CIA on the other hand, couldn’t wait to get those jumper cables on those detainees. So yeah, it seems that one branch does what’s right and the other goes rouge, so to speak.
Well it was fully aware that Japan, at that time, was supporting Hitler and his Nazi regime. Japan supported Germany, and that was nobel.
The citizens of Germany supported their country, and stood behind its leaders, a nobel deed in a nobel circumstance. Hitler demanding all jews be killed off, wasnt a nobel circumstance. Wickedness is the fault of the wicked alone. Nobility is credited to the nobel alone.
Germany is a friend of the USA.
America was warned recently from an Al Quieda member that the USA was going to get attacked, where and when are the details. Hearing about getting attacked and knowing where that attack was going happen are 2 details that when together provide a safer preparedness and prevention.

Wasn’t there a big problem with communications problems on 09/11/2001. Wasn’t just local, was it?
It is clear the problems revealed then were not resolved by any of the stuff the Party of No perpetrated on the American public.

Why is the clod at the left end of the table any less to blame than the other two guys? After all, he’s their boss.

Apparently it’s just other security agencies the CIA can’t talk to…..
