So whats the point of this thread then ? the second I point out the flaw in the Republican argument, you say you cant trust the report.
There is no point.
Because we won't know what really happened for 50 years when the real truth becomes declassified.
That is how we operate in the US. Just read your history for verification of that.
Well now do you think they are going to say it was a covert operation gone bad ?
We're weren't supposed to be shipping arms to the Syrian rebels..just bandaids and food.
There may very well be reasons why the CIA put out a false scenario. I'm not sure what the value is to the CIA to put out a false scenario that would be proven to be wrong in a short time period.
My personally opinion is that it was just confusion between the CIA agents in the field and CIA analysts in Washington. If you read the initial CIA assessment in the initial CIA talking points its pretty open ended. I think the CIA analysts didn't want to be accused of missing anything, so the included all the possibilities.

Which reinforces my point, If you are going to make that claim, then what is the point of this thread then ?

To debate and voice opinions. Sometimes they do serve to sway one's thinking.
And given the history of the US and some of their nefarious schemes I'm considering both stories.
The CIA was going to murder Americans citizens in our streets to provoke a war.
How sick is that ?
The CIA was going to pay someone in Castro's government to launch an attack on Guantanamo Bay and kill Americans.
How sick is that ?

JFK refused to approve.
JFK got assassinated.
So you believe in that the military/CIA assassinated JFK ?

No, it did not. The administration made it up and had the CIA people write it down so as to keep the WH fingerprints of the lie, in case the inevitable investigation got too close. This IS the "Chicago thug politician" modus operadi.

It was asked for so the administration could continue to lie with a straight face.

Climbing a tree to tell a lie, when you can stand on the ground to be truthful? Doesn't make the slightest sense.

The purpose was to provide cover to the White House, so it could continue with the "al qaeda is on the run" rhetoric during an election.
The president has now co-opted our intelligence agencies as propaganda producers for the Democrat Party.
