Air Force Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse did his job and reported that despite the public misstatement by his Commender-in- Chief….
The US Air Force B-2 Bomber attack on Iran Nuclera facilties DID NOT completely take out the target….
Trump went on for several days giving ‘HIS’ version of the action until EVERYBODY else finally came out and corrected the result of the long distance American Bomber attack….
THAT seems top be a problem for the US Defsne Sec.
It got Kruse removed from his job it would seem…..
Under Trump & Co.?
The ‘Truth’ is to be reported as what ole Donald says?
The Pentagon has fired the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, a senior defense official and a senator said on Friday, weeks after the agency drafted a preliminary report that contradicted President Trump’s contention that Iran’s nuclear sites had been “obliterated” in U.S. military strikes.
Air Force Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse is the latest senior Pentagon official, and the second top military intelligence official, to be removed since Mr. Trump’s return to office. Gen. Timothy D. Haugh, the head of the National Security Agency, was ousted this spring after a right-wing conspiracy theorist complained about him.
Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, the senior Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the firing of General Kruse, who had a long career of nonpartisan service, was troubling.
“The firing of yet another senior national security official underscores the Trump administration’s dangerous habit of treating intelligence as a loyalty test rather than a safeguard for our country,” Mr. Warner said.
The D.I.A. is in charge of collecting intelligence on foreign militaries, including the size, position and strength of their forces. The agency provides the information to the military’s combatant commands and planners at the Pentagon.
The senior defense official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said that General Kruse would no longer serve as the intelligence agency’s director, although it was not clear if he would be offered a different position in the Air Force or if he would retire. Two congressional officials said lawmakers were notified on Friday that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had fired General Kruse because of “a loss of confidence” in the senior officer….
…
[Virginia Senator] Mr. Warner linked Mr. Kruse’s firing directly to his agency’s assessment of that operation.
“That kind of honest, fact-based analysis is exactly what we should want from our intelligence agencies, regardless of whether it flatthers the White House narrative,” Mr. Warner….
Note….
Donbald Trump and the Intelligence Community have NEVER gotten along since his first term in office….
He has installed ‘Loyal’ political bosses in most of agencies this time….
He missed Krause I guess…..
Krause’s immediate boss is Defense Sec. Hewgset and he’s?
