>Why would they lie?
Are you joking? Do you not see the massive political motivation there?
And of course, the US government has a great track record with telling the truth about security issues.
- tomjakubowski 10y agoWhat's the political motivation for the DNI to lie? Clapper isn't really a politician and as far as I know he's not affiliated with any party.
- dragonwriter 10y ago> Clapper isn't really a politician No one who gets any position that requires Senate confirmation is "not really a politician" (and, yes, that includes general/flag officers in the military) -- they may be purely bureaucratic rather than electoral politicians, but they are politicians nonetheless. But, yeah, I don't see a lot of evidence that Clapper is a Democratic (or other) partisan.
- turar 10y agoRussia just told the US that if Americans attack Syrian troops, Russia will intervene on Syria's behalf. That should be the major story actually.
- ak4g 10y agoOf course I do, which is why I asked the 2nd question: > What gives you reason to think they (not the DNC!) be that colossally stupid? The political motivation is what would make lying here colossally stupid.
