[quote=harvey][quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Paramount: “we may never know the truth”. Really? You don’t think that the NRO (National Reconnaissance Office) and NGA (National Geo-spatial Agency) are all over this? Please. I’m sure the DNI had a briefing on Obama’s desk an hour after this happened. Trust me, if we don’t know exactly who’s behind it, we’ve already begun connecting the dots.[/quote]
Based on the number of TLAs in the post, it must be authoritative.
If any of our agencies know, it’s probably the NSA (they actually do more than just listen in on phone sex.)
The NGA takes pictures, and they can’t be photographing everything all the time. But the NSA can pretty-much “hear” everything all the time, and I’m sure they know exactly what a Russian antiaircraft platform sounds like.[/quote]
NRO feeds the NSA. But, yes, I’m sure “hearing” a SAM site is very valuable, too.
Are we due for another of your famous “pri_dick_shuns”, like the one on Syrian chem weapons? I mean, speaking of authoritative, that one was right on the money.
