Colin Powell suggests media had 'hysterical' reaction to reports on Russian bounty intelligence
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell indicated on Thursday that media figures overreacted to a recent report that Russian officials placed bounties on the lives of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.
"What I know is that our military commanders on the ground did not think that it was as serious a problem as the newspapers were reporting and television was reporting," Powell told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell. "It got kind of out of control before we really had an understanding of what had happened. I’m not sure we fully understand now."
He added: "But [commander of U.S. Central Command] General [Kenneth] McKenzie ... he did not think this was of that level of importance to us. Remember, it’s not the intelligence community that’s going to go fight these guys, it’s the guys on the ground. It’s our troops. It’s our commanders who are going to go deal with this kind of a threat, using intelligence that was given to them by the intelligence community.
Of course I found the whole issue ridiculous, bed wetting liberals don't give a fruit fly's fuck about soldiers anyway, but to act as if the Talibs weren't trying to kill them until Putin started cutting checks is an idea so absurd only a bed wetting liberal piece of shit would believe it.
The issue is just more proof the media is absolutely biased to the core and an enemy of the republic.
I'm actually surprised Powell came out and committed heresy by pointing out it was a bullshit issue. The next thing you know the NY Slimes will run an article smearing him for war crimes in Vietnam.
