Politics and Arrogance — Understanding Israel’s October 7 Intelligence Failure

I think this rings true. It is the worst of “intelligence failures” because the analysts accurately and correctly reported the warning signs and their analysis was ignored. The reaction of the “high-ranking intelligence official” who dismissed the reports and analysis as an “imaginary scenario” is not out of character for Senior Israeli intelligence personnel. Arrogance and hubris is their M. O.

Like the USA had with 9/11 when pilot trainees who were not interested in take offs and landings?  Or “intelligence failures”, not to secure out legal visas?  Nevermind that the Southern Border is open for all manner of criminals and potential terrorists to invade.

Argh!
