Kirby: the work of American intelligence in Syria cannot be called a failure

Moscow did not warn Washington about plans to increase its military presence in Syria, but American intelligence did not allow failures in this matter, reports RIA News message from State Department spokesman John Kirby.

“I wouldn’t completely describe it this way,” Kirby told a journalist who asked whether “the situation in Syria can be considered a failure of US intelligence, by analogy with the September 11 attacks of 2001.”

“We are very closely monitoring the situation, and we are well aware of what appeared there and how it appeared there,” he added, referring to “the Russian military presence from Syria.”

However, to a direct question whether the United States knew about the plans of the Russians in the UAR, Kirby did not give a clear answer.

“It’s not that they call and say," Hey, we are going to do it. " There was no warning in advance. And I do not think that there were any expectations on this score (from the USA), ”said the representative of the diplomatic mission.

Of course, it is impossible to consider such a gang as the IS prepared and armed as a failure.

[anEkeName]

Moscow did not warn Washington about plans to increase its military presence in Syria, but American intelligence did not allow failures in this matter ...

... as is the case with Crimea.

[oleg-gr]

Amerikos intelligence quickly received data from social networks. So her work is not a failure. Analysts hesitated. Apparently, such conclusions are supported by the official version.

Well, yes, well, yes ... and here we throw them so much information ... the computers are hanging ...

[ferdiperdozzz]

Well, on Facebook they didn’t write in advance.
And Medvedev forbade GDP to write to Twitter, here is intelligence and found out only in fact :)))

[Sterlya]

US intelligence is the highest paid. it is a fact. But. and only.

[Now we are free]

I apologize for the offtopic.

News from "Geroslav":
"Battle Cock" against "Alco-President" or Mosiychuk is not Savchenko for you ...

The birth of sadistic groups, murderers and mutants in the territories of bombed countries is a great success for the Yankees! The technology of their education has been perfected by them to perfection, and then lies, the appointment of the perpetrators, cynicism and dirt on the sides!

And the failure in Syria, if they leaked the Old directly from Moscow?

[rotmistr60]

"It's not like they call on the phone and say," Hey, we're going to do this. " There was no warning beforehand

It turns out that the Americans believe that it is better for them to call and warn about their plans. And so I had to find out the news from the Internet. Only where they screw it up, immediately a million excuses and a failure for the media, like a victory.

And Putin is still silent, like partisans :: see, he prepares a good present for the Yankees in his report ...

[Login_Off]

Firstly, in order to find out whether they are going to send or not, the analysts have to work here first. That is, analysts say "Perhaps the Russians can help Syria with weapons, right up to the dispatch of advisers," Next, intelligence begins to give the agents a task, take a closer look at Syria for (see above) ...
And here it turns out that Kirby admits that the analysts have him ... e, but the intelligence did not give the task.
Damn, this is generally the right hand does not know what the left is doing, but both hands are also from the ass!

[vorobey]

I didn’t understand what he said ... except for the phrase that he would not describe something there ...

I recalled a phrase from one movie ... last time when I tasted it seemed to me that gophers read my thoughts ...

in general, all these expressions are faceless and I need half-hints to hide my professional cant ... of course you can’t call it a failure ... again about ... whether ... like in Crimea ..

[ROD VDVshny]

Not on the topic of the article, but on the topic of our reality
The only Pskov deputy from Yabloko Shlosberg was deprived of his mandate
Yesterday, after reading this news, I gladly raised a glass for the "firm and consistent path" of the chief burialist and muddler of the 76th division from the Pskov region of Schlossberg At first he got his head shot, now they kicked him out of the deputies like a shitty cat

Off-topic…. It seems that VVP has started to "clean up" on the sly ... I wonder to what heights the ball will unwind? In Komi, the mayor of Syktyvkar has already been tied ... a pusachka, but nice ...

Well, and can't this be called anything other than the CIA "GOD WAY" and set up its smoked president: he will now turn around like Psaki - he will not be able to say anything intelligible!

[morpogr]

This is not a failure; this is a complete scribe for what they arranged in Syria.

[Mountain shooter]

This is not even a failure. This is the lack of any work in the region. The fact that massive assistance to Assad came as a surprise to the mattress can be understood by the tonality of the squeal that they raised about this.

[vovanpain]

Of course, you must first blink everything, and then say something. This is our intelligence that won both in the Crimea and in Syria. This pink-cheeked little babe now wants to pass off as wishful thinking.

[Grbear]

It is very likely that Putin's "speech" is being prepared for Monday. The weekend is gone ...

[AdekvatNICK]

in short, it is becoming increasingly clear that American films with excessive heroization and superheroism of Americans are just plain crap. If an American sees a real real rival, he immediately merges. Therefore, they are a country that can only crush a trifle on the planet, but with real rivals, it is only possible to clinch.

with all their surveillance and wiretaps and multi-billion dollar investments, they have a mistake by mistake .. then Snowden either terrorist attacks ... or Ferguson escaped ... Crimea didn’t oversleep for a whole week, but satellites then poked))) well, what’s the use of satellites? ))) And Obama will lose Syria.

what kind of clinch is there ... he told me how the NATO inspection came to us .. it was shitty 95 year .. they knew that our 126 Dibo would be cut so they brought different kinds of shells to us to Perevalnoye .. And then, the NATO inspectors were snoring .. a Dutchman, a Belgian, two Germans and two amers ... went to the pits all sniffed their noses ... Europeans said something adequate, you can, you can not, then you can’t ... but the Americans .. I represented my company in boxing .. except the two training machines are all glued up ... they said you can’t open it .. so while one amer spoke to me the second behind my back and already glues it and climbed under the fabric .. but for me at least it’s already shining for such a star, well, I put it in my hearts in the shin from the leg is vile so that no one can see ... he already howled .. and looks around complaining ... and the Germans stand and defiantly turn away smiling at the same time ... he pushed it out gently shaking it while he himself hit when he climbed to unnecessary .. and got away with it ... not a word from showed

Accept verbal thanks for the act.

Of course I would not, how can I describe what is not? US intelligence - it sounds alarming ....

[Riv]

Should I also call American intelligence? And then I'm going to shit, like, "Hey guys! I'm going to do this." No, I probably won't. Not so they can understand.

I completely agree, the actions of American intelligence is not work, it is the appearance of work.

"It's not like they call on the phone and say," Hey, we're going to do this. " There was no advance warning. And I don’t think there were any expectations (the USA) on this score ”

Rave! And they still wonder why Ukrainian politicians make such delusional statements. What curators are such and wards.

[Izotovp]

They are achieving their goals in this region with success. They needed the chaos and surge of terrorism on the other side of the planet. And about the Syrian Express, they are in the know just can not interfere. And Europe is bending down qualitatively. They just have their own goals, but they won’t tell everyone about it))))

[Azitral]

They did not expect. Our people, in my opinion, never concealed their support for Assad (or, more precisely, at least some kind of legitimate order in Syria). And a surprise in Crimea, it’s generally something with something: Putin for the FIRST AND ONLY time asked for permission to use troops abroad in the Duma and the Senate. To the whole world. WHAT FOR? And then little green men - quite unexpectedly - end up in Crimea. Imagine what the Fuehrer would say to Canaris and Schellenberg after such surprises. No, it's better not to even imagine. Apparently, there is no intelligence service in Russia at all, since there is no idea what the average Russian from Voronezh "breathes" in general. Samara, Irkutsk, what he hopes for and what he is ready for. Either the level of work is really below the plinth, or we overestimate ourselves, and they really do not care. Not too deserving of attention.

[kil 31]

. Azitral Imagine what the Führer would have said to Canaris and Schellenberg after such surprises. No, it’s better not to even imagine. So he said. If my memory serves me right, it seems like since 1943 the Canaris guys disbanded. They also said that. We knew that the strike would be there, but did not manage to warn in time. But we knew about it.

But we knew about it.

The Führer, Canaris, Shelenberg - this is all history, but it must be studied.
The American researcher J. Rainlough, referring to the assessment of the state of analytical work in the secret services and political interference in intelligence affairs, points out, as a classic example, the conflicts that constantly arose during the Second World War between “political creators” and intelligence in fascist Germany. “Fascinated by his ideas for creating a German empire,” writes Rainlough, “Hitler did not want to believe intelligence reports based on irrefutable evidence that indicated Germany’s inevitable defeat.
Or here is what H. Felfe, one of the employees of the Nazi security service, who we already referred to, writes about this: “When the alarming information arrived, the management — Himmler, Ribbentrop, Hitler — simply did not want to believe them and did not take them seriously. He believed only what fit into his own pre-arranged picture. Information that runs counter to it was discarded as false, like misinformation of the enemy. ”
And the Fuhrer hung Canaris not for failures in work, but because he became accomplices of a conspiracy against him. From personal hostile relationships. And no tricks.

[Mama_Cholli]

It is clear that it is not easy for everyone now. But military intelligence does not do this. There are other departments for this.

[Abbra]

An amazing property: he said something, but WHAT is not clear ...

[sl22277]

The ISIS you created has become uncontrollable, here is the failed intelligence work. Arrogance and complacency are a major mistake.

[Mama_Cholli]

Interestingly, does striped intelligence know about the future plans of the Islamic State in relation to their country?

[gelezo47]

The mattresses were laid back again, but do not want to admit it ...

[Russian]

It was necessary for our special services to openly call the CIA on their mobile phones and inform that we were going to Syria, because it was not worth shaming the Yankees like that, no matter how "colleagues".

In my opinion, this message, translated into normal language, looks something like this: "Guys, we are not like in Hollywood films, in fact we are laymen, fuckers and bullshit!" Something like this.

[afrikanez]

intelligence failures in this matter did not allow

And the air raids and the bombing of the wrong positions - this they probably called successful intelligence. They don’t want to admit their failure and that's it, like small children.

[Jan Ivanov]

What is this failure for them? It would be a failure if they bombed their Ishilovites, and that’s all they wanted: the partisans were safe, and the soldiers received for the military operation, and an imitation of the struggle for the public. Yes, I suppose, and money was shaken from the Isis for the fact that they missed.
As usual, purely business.

Colleague, have you in the Kubanshchina Vyselki and the area in Tkachevo or Great Weavers not renamed yet?
Did the family buy only one district, or did they grab the neighboring Tikhoretsky and Pavlovsky identities?

[Nyrobsky]

Well, this is of course a masterpiece, in the fight against ISIS, follow the Russians and provide the militants with high-quality satellite images. Counted everything to the nearest unity. At the same time claiming that their interest in Syria in the fight against ISIS.
But in Ukraine - repeatedly asserting the incursions of Russian Armed Forces columns into the territory of dill, the United States never presented a single fact of their presence.
Even as it is interesting, they have a "failed" intelligence.
