    You actually called this a 'new version of the story'... Do you get paid for pandering this bullish!t? If it's coming from a CIA source it's bullish!t. Most people know that, but you're too busy posting tweets all over the web. How come when you look at your new source's tweets they all are attacking Trump? Not one single tweet that is objective. That isn't journalism it's propaganda. It's what you peddle.

    Hey, did you know that @Jack censors the content where you get ALL of your info from? You know what that makes you right?

    Here's a new version of the story from someone who 'was in the room'.

    Has any sources been confirmed yet? Any at all? What's Trump's supposed to do if he didn't know? How do you know he was briefed? What's your source? You don't have one.

    this may be above ur head, baffled one.

    neither Trump nor his admin has denied the reporting about the bounty.

    u don’t know if he wasn’t briefed! What’s ur source that counters the reporting?

    What do you define as confirmed? It comes from our own intelligence agency. They don't reveal publically how they get intelligence you know for a good reason.

    So, basically you're saying you only trust one reporter...kind of...to inform your opinions on here. Yet you have lots of opinions. The information must be coming from somewhere, but for some reason you don't want share your news sources. Curious.

    In a new Sunday evening story, The Washington Post cites unidentified sources to confirm that the Russian program offering "bounties" to Taliban militants for killing U.S. forces in Afghanistan is "believed to have resulted in the deaths of several U.S. service members." It was previously unclear as to whether the Russian program had been successful; the Post's sources indicate that it was.

    And now the Associated Press confirms the story that the NYT, WaPo, WSJ and the UK's Sky News all separately reported and confirmed...

    Trump denies briefing about reported bounties on US troops

    DNI Ratcliffe and former DNI have both denied briefing the Pres. & VP. Those are actually names that are on the record. What do you have?

    Please read your first sentence. They've all confirmed using each others story as a source. Same thing happened in the FISA warrant abuse. CIA fed a false story, FBI used Steele and the false article as a second source. Not one named person can confirm. Yet at least 3 have denied.

    If it turns out to be true, so be it. But my God.... Don't you know they are counting on you to be stupid? And they're getting their money's worth, that's for sure.

    Until it's confirmed you're still full of ****. What's your retweet count going to be today? 100? 200? It'll be hard to keep track of but I'll help you out. Retweet this:

    First Saddam wasn't in Syria. If you're referring to Bashar Al Assad yes the Kurds certainly have an interest in defeating Al-Assad. Alliances usually work from mutual interests, such as when we allied with the USSR to defeat Germany.

    Considering though that Kurds did most of the fighting, saving us from sending in more US troops, and are the most pro-US forces in the region then we should've supported them as it was not just a matter of humanity but also of strategic interest.

    Yes we bombed the Russians after mercenary forces along with Syrian forces attacked an installation with US forces even though they were warned off. This was an action of self-defense by the US troops. It shows more reason why we shouldn't be abandoning allies to Russian interests and why we should be suspicious of Russian intentions.

    Tensions are escalating whether we stay or not because of Russia adventurism and the push by Putin to keep Russia relevant as a global player. What we shouldn't be doing is denying or downplaying it and we certainly shouldn't be rewarding them by inviting them back into the G8.

    Edit. Just to add another point. The US hasn't pulled out of Syria. US forces that were working with the Kurds were redeployed to protect Syrian oil installations.

    LOL, profanity? You seem increasingly angry... I mean, I get it it, you have hitched your wagon (and all your personal identity) to trump and it is becoming increasingly clear that was a HUGE mistake. And as a result, you are embarrassed, because you have spent the past months defending and supporting an incompetent racist who has been at best derelict in his duty and at worst, a traitor to America. Yea, that must hurt, knowing your reputation here simply continues to diminish, and you become more and more of a laughing stock here. I can imagine that hurts bad. And for my small part embarrassing you I apologize. I will try to be more sensitive to your shame and sorrow.

    btw, citing trump's press secretary? Seriously? I can understand your affections for her as a source of spank material, but could you have picked a more reputable source? I mean, perhaps trump's mom, or his kids?

    I used the same source who originally tweeted the story. The same source of the tweet you started with. NBC Josh. If you have problem with siting the press secretary, take it up with Josh, but please, do it on twitter. As to the rest of your rant, don't worry about me. Worry about yourself. One day you'll look back on these skinny jean wearing days and laugh at yourself for being a keyboard SJW. We all did stupid **** when we were younger, so I sort of give you a pass because I've done dumb stuff too. I was usually drunk though.
