Hegseth Fires Defense Intelligence Agency Chief After Iran Report

 

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired the Defense Intelligence Agency director Friday, according to a senior defense official and another person familiar with the move, the latest in a slew of senior national-security officials dismissed by the Trump administration.

 

Air Force Lt. Gen. Jeffrey A. Kruse was leading the Pentagon agency in June when it issued an evaluation of U.S. military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities that concluded the attack had set back Tehran’s nuclear program only by a few months. The assessment contradicted President Trump’s assertion that the bombings had obliterated the Iranian sites.

 

A senior Pentagon official confirmed the firing, saying that “Lt. Gen. Kruse will no longer serve as DIA director.” The official didn’t provide a reason for Kruse’s dismissal, which was reported earlier by the Washington Post. Kruse took over the agency early last year.

The man children in the White House do not like contradiction and they know everything. If you disagree with their public announcements, you become  enemy number one, and you must be dismissed. That's how children and lying incompetents run an administration and a nation into the ground.

From what I have seen and read since Trump has been in office is that the man children in the White House who claim to  know everything, is they appear to have the intelligence of a cucumber, have a combined IQ in single figures and actually know twice the square root of FA.

 

Trump and his sycophants must have a lot of public enemies. The alternative is that they are thin skinned and cannot take ANY criticism at all.

 

Soon the DIA will be run by a Pfc or a Cpl as there will ne no officers left to sack. Who will they blame then? It certainly won't be themselves.

Because of course Trump and his  administration need to make critical decisions of national importance on the basis of advice that does not disagree with their doctrine.

 

In this case military action against a foreign power, elsewhere public health, the economy, the environment, the law.

It's a fascinating paradox that the least intelligent man in the administration, a man with the intelligence of a brick, is firing an intelligence chief, because the guy just simply doesn't agree with Trump's nonsense.

 

Trump's clown show continues he is rivaling Ringling Brothers for sheer entertainment. 

 

 

The clown show that is the Trump administration continues its performance. You couldn't find a more incompetent group of a** kissers even if you tried.....hard.
