In what seem like a big goof-up, the White House accidentally exposed the cover of CIA operatives at Doha station.
The White House shared an image (below) of President Joe Biden meeting via video conference with Vice President Kamala Harris and other national security officials to discuss the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan.
“This morning, the President and Vice President met with their national security team and senior officials to hear updates on the draw down of our civilian personnel in Afghanistan, evacuations of SIV applicants and other Afghan allies, and the ongoing security situation in Kabul,” said the tweet.

But many on Twitter noticed that the White House may have accidentally outed CIA operatives in the process in the boxes labeled “CIA” and “Doha Station”.

“Heck of a job, White House communications shop. I figure you would want to crop out the teleconference screens labeled “CIA” and “Doha Station.” You panicking amateur idiots,” said a senior political correspondent Jim Geragthy.

There were also calls for those responsible for tweeting the information to be fired for potentially compromising operational security by not blurring out locations on screen.

Biden is the obvious threat to american security, he doesnt know what is going on period.
The photographer obviously a spy.
Biden just mouthing out orders given to him. What idiot leaves an occupied state and all its weapons and then says SIV and applicants will be reviewed along side american citizens for evacuation. Orange woman bad….leaves when seat gets hot.
The Biden administration situation is the worst administration in the history of america. Every person hired for superficial reasons instead of skills …..total incompetence and stupidity….starting at the top.
Democrats the party of idiots.
