yota691 Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 “Shocking assessment” .. US intelligence: Iraq is the biggest threat to the United States Time: 09/15/2021 12:02:35 Reading: 1,040 times {Umniah: Al Furat News} The US National Intelligence Agency considered that Afghanistan no longer poses the "biggest threat" to the United States of America, while there are 4 Arab countries, including Iraq, that currently represent this threat. At the annual National Intelligence and Security Conference in Washington, Director of the National Intelligence Agency Avril Haynes said that Afghanistan is no longer at the top of the United States' concerns regarding international terrorist threats to America, according to what was reported by Bloomberg. This is America's position, she added, "even amid persistent concerns from some critics who argue that Afghanistan could become a haven for terrorist organizations such as ISIS and Al-Qaeda (terrorists) to regroup after the US withdrawal." On August 26, the organization (ISIS-Khorasan) launched a suicide operation targeting Kabul airport amid the process of evacuating American forces and nationals from Afghanistan. The one who takes Afghanistan as a sanctuary represents a potential threat to America. The director of intelligence stressed that "terrorist threats from 4 Arab countries, namely Somalia, Yemen, Syria and Iraq, specifically ISIS, pose a greater danger than those that may come from Afghanistan." And she continued, "With regard to the homeland, and the current threat from terrorist groups, we do not prioritize Afghanistan at the top of the list. What we are looking at is Yemen, Somalia, Syria and Iraq, and ISIS, and here we see the biggest threat." Haynes pointed out that the collection of intelligence information in Afghanistan "dwindled" after the withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan and the fall of the US-backed government, stressing at the same time that the intelligence prepared for this situation "some time ago." She noted that the primary focus of intelligence now is to monitor "any possible reconfiguration of terrorist organizations" in Afghanistan. Haynes' comments came as President Biden's administration continues to be criticized by both Republicans and Democrats for the precipitous withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan in the wake of the Taliban's seizure of power last month. Hours after Haynes spoke, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken began testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee about the withdrawal. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of odd that Afghanistan is no longer our biggest threat after they received 80 billion dollars of high tech military equipment.. I'm calling B.S on this article. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairways&Greens Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Scapegoat. Biden’s blunder in Afghanistan is the reason for this BS. They are throwing poop 💩 on the wall to distract us from the disaster that just happened. Afghanistan will attract every Middle East terrorist group and will be a huge problem for us within months. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
