This is nothing more or less than our dipshit President* ignored intelligence, and botched this at every step of the way, now caught with their pants down and thousands of American lives on the line, they are trying to scramble to control the damage.

"The intelligence community assessment has always been accurate; they just disregarded it," the official told ABC News, speaking about the Biden administration.
