UNINTELLIGENT INTELLIGENCE

Evidence that the Russians paid the Taliban a bounty for every American soldier they killed must have come from the tooth fairy 

By Howie Katz


President Trump has called the intelligence report of the Russians paying the Taliban a bounty for every American soldier they killed a hoax.  I believe the President is spot on.

Vladimir Putin is trying to restore Russia to the greatness it enjoyed when it was the former Soviet Union.  In that the Russian leader will do everything he can to make things difficult for the United States.  But paying the Taliban a bounty goes beyond the pale.

It just doesn't make any sense.  Paying a bounty would be stupid and Putin is not stupid..

However it would be logical to believe the Russia funded the Taliban in it's fight against the American-backed Afghan government.  That would be no different from our funding of the rebels fighting to overthrow Syria's Bashar al-Assad.

I don't care what our intelligence officers have told the Trump administration or what they will tell members of Congress.  The source of their intelligence must have been the tooth fairy.

Now you can add me to the list of conspiracy theorists.
