Who writes this shit, and do they read it after they write it?

In the category of "nonsense, disinformation and speculation", Yankee Doodle has to add this article entitled:  US blames news reports for air strike failures   http://rt.com/usa/195060-intelligence-air-strike-failures/?utm_source=browser&utm_medium=aplication_chrome&utm_campaign=chrome

It's a Russia Today article that begins: 

American intelligence officials are trying to blame news reports for failed military attacks against shadowy jihadist groups, arguing that the articles alerted a new terror group to impending air strikes.

Then, we can read: 

Last month, the United States fired 46 cruise missiles at eight locations in northern Syria to target the Khorasan group's training camps, a munitions center and other sites. However, the attacks only killed one or two key militants, US officials told the Associated Press.

The strikes near a compound in Aleppo didn't cripple the group because members were able to scatter – something they blamed on news reports highlighting US missile plans. This led to the escape of a French-born jihadi with military skills that officials say they were interested in targeting.

Then, further down, we can read:   

The air strikes were justified because US intelligence reports showed Khorasan "was in the final stages of plans to execute major attacks against Western targets and potentially the U.S. homeland," according to Army Lt. Gen William Maybille, the director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon.

Sounds like they know AN AWFUL LOT about this "Khorasan" group, doesn't it?   They know how many they killed, who they killed, who they missed, and who "scattered".  And, they know what they are planning.  How do they know this?  One or more on-the-ground agents infiltrated into the "Khorasan"?  Tapping their cell phones?  Satellite surveillance that is reading the handwritten communications that are being sent by camel? 

Then, of course, we can read this: 

Officials say the US lacks a network of spies, bases and on-the-ground technology, which gives it limited intelligence about the Khorasan Group – the kind of help it used to carry out its work in Afghanistan, Iraq and Yemen.

Sounds like they need MORE MONEY, doesn't it?

Sorry to be so slow responding, Yankee.  In answer to your question:

Rage, you've got a stronger stomach than I.  Makes me want to kick someone in the nuts if I may speak frankly.  Couldn't handle it every day.

I like to switch on my computer and be confronted with naked truth.
