#1 Wanna bet the US IC is monomaniacally focused on Trump and has no idea of anything actually going on in the world that could be a threat to the USA?

#2 ....failure of intelligence services to detect any signs of Hamas' deadly attack

The Indications and Warnings (I&W) were very likely detected but purposefully ignored. The reasoning has yet to be explained.

#3 Just like in 1973, if Israel responded to the signs - the enemy would postpone. Also, Israelis repeatedly make the mistake of assuming that Palestininian leadership cares about their People.
Just wait a couple of days to hear the whole world: East and West; screeching about the terrible devastation of the brutally inhumane Israeli onslaught on Palestinian civilians.

#6 Ref#2 above, Twitter post mirrored in CTH last night. Consider as well the masking of I&W checklist warnings by constant triggering over long time periods, even through artificial enhancements and circular reporting.

REMINDER 🚨: If you're wondering why Joe Biden's administration took forever to say something about the Iranian-funded Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel today, look no further than who Joe Biden appointed as the Senior Director for Intelligence at the National Security Council in 2021, within two weeks of being inaugurated.

Biden appointed Maher Bitar as Senior Director for Intelligence at the National Security Council.

As I reported in 2021, Bitar has a long history of terror associations, dating back to his time in college at Georgetown where he was on the executive board of the school's chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, which has documented ties to Islamic terrorist organizations including Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Marxist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)."

Of course, Islamic terrorists feel empowered to attack Israel. Joe Biden just gave Iran 6 billion dollars, and his administration is full of jihadis like Bitar. Our entire national security is at risk because Hamas and Hezbollah sympathizers like Bitar are currently directing our intelligence within our National Security apparatus.
