The Russian bounties to kill American troops in Afghanistan story which originated in The New York Times has already been memory holed with warp speed. This also after an intelligence memo emerged late last week also casting more doubts on the whole story. It was also revealed that the NSA had from the beginning strongly dissented from what was considered scant firm intelligence; the Pentagon also said it had no evidence that US troops were ever targeted based on Russia's GRU paying Taliban militants bounties. And now no less than the CENTCOM chief has weighed in to say that it's bogus. Commander of US Central Command, Marine Gen. Kenneth "Frank" McKenzie, emphasized to reporters on Tuesday his extreme doubts: "I found it very worrisome, I just didn't find that there was a causative link there," he said of the NY Times' reporting.

lol. OT, but google is notorious for violating privacy. Also, I'm not comfortable with Eric Schmidt's ties to the CIA. For that reason, I use duckduckgo.com. IP: Logged |
