| #9 ^ that is what the Germans did in late '44 to spring the surprise in the Ardennes aka Battle of the Bulge. |

| #8 The Hamas attack was coordinated via written notes and couriers. It was not done electronically. |

| #7 I suspect this Administration was in a hurry to transfer the $6B because they knew this was coming and knew it would be politically impossible after. |

| #6 "So, what's he saying: Israeli government deliberately allowed slaughter or 700 Israelis? To gain what - world sympathy that'll run out in 2 - 3 days?" It might not be the Israeli political government itself but the Administrative State that runs the Israeli state apparatus, or even just an Intel clique that wanted to punish Nethanyahu . But would not be something done solitary it would have USA participation. |

| #5 Monitoring could have been 'handed off' or contracted to entities with more advanced collection capabilities. Put that on the wall for discussion. |

| #4 I dont necessarily think that is what Bongino is saying. I do think others are making that inference. But the intelligence failure does raise questions. Having gone back and re-read / gleamed over a few years of worth of articles in regards to palestinian financial aid - there was an emphasis on rebuilding Gaza and giving them economic opportunities. Economic Opportunity theme repeated itself. I might suggest that the peace partners were so caught up in their own narrative that increasing Gaza Economic Opportunities, that Hamas would choose that win over a military win. So caught up in their narrative, that they glossed over or ignored developments on the ground - thinking their fairytale was a success. Hence Intelligence was sequestered and/or de-emphasized, that only watered down versions made it to the civilian govt. That's my #fanfiction. |
