""""Trump’s First Military Attack Backs CIA & DIA; Agents Said Obama Ignored Intel, Refused to Strike Critical ISIS Targets For Over a Year""""

President Barack Obama refused to strike high-ranking ISIS assets in Iraq and Syria for more than a year despite regular pleading from the CIA and DIA personnel to act on definitive intelligence, officials confirmed to True Pundit.

Newly minted President Donald Trump, to the delight of defense analysts, gave new Defense Secretary James Mattis the green light to wage more than 30 attacks on these same ISIS targets on Saturday, according to intelligence insiders.

What Obama had ignored since early 2016, Trump took action on in his first 24 hours as president.

For more than a year, U.S. intelligence insiders grew increasingly concerned why Obama refused to use military force against proven ISIS outposts in Raqqa, the terrorist group’s de facto capital. That growing frustration was squelched Saturday when U.S forces used drones and bombers to rain down 22 strikes in Raqqa, destroying two bomb factories, and more than a dozen tactical units, intelligence officials said, as well as a coveted ISIS headquarters

If Obama was on the side of Isis, what would he have done differently?

Anyone who was reasonably well educated and reasonably well traveled in the moslem world would be suspicious of anyone named Barak Hussein Obama.

“officials confirmed to True Pundit.”

Ah, True Pundit and “anonymous sources”: it’s what True Pundit does best when it’s not simply ripping off other news stories. True Pundit is the ultimate fake news source on the right.

I always believed that obama was ISIS’s commanding officer.

very interesting take on things. Makes perfect sense. I guess the truck drivers, et al, won’t be getting leaflets air dropped, before the bombs start dropping anymore.

Awesome. With some of the strikes that they’ve made public, I’m thinking that quite a few ISIS guys will be dropping their rucks and heading back home, some time soon. The rest will be exterminated.

History repeated itself:

The documents Sandy Berger stole from the National Archive in his socks and underwear centered on America’s effort to apprehend Osama Bin Laden, along with The Millineal Bomb Plot, which included LAX as a target.

There were copies of the docs that remained however some copies at N.A. included hand-scribbed NOTES made by Bill, Hillary and others which apparently would have been damning.

Sudan offered OBL to the USA not once, but twice, and both times the Clinton Administration did nothing.

The matters that the stolen docs dealt with are HIGHLY relevant to what the US is still grappling with to this very day.

It is not known exactly what the scribbled notes were.

(Note - docs having to do with Hillary’s dealings with Vince Foster before his death also disappeard from the National Archive, more recently).

Obama wanted to bomb ISIS a little bit, for PR purposes - but not too much. Obama’s policy was to use ISIS as a tool to weaken Assad. If he bombed ISIS to bits, then that would strengthen Assad, in his thinking.

Feeling safe and secure under Obama ISIS was probably fairly well concentrated making for easy targets

Now we know why CIA employees were so enthusiastic when Trump spoke.

“Wonder why ISIS couldn’t read the handwriting on the wall.”

Oh, they read the writing on the wall they just didn’t anticipate Hellfires being replaced by 1000lb ers.

As I said last week, the stories about the “intelligence community” hating Trump were being perpetuated by the top (politically appointed) leadership. The rank and file agents are going to be very happy about the change.

Strange that former CIA Director John Brennan didn’t notice the hundreds of oil trucks hauling oil out of Syria into Turkey until Russia started to bomb them and then we all heard about it. Yet he was sure Russia undermined our election, but didn’t know ISIS was making millions of dollars off the sale of oil for years?

“Obama Ignored Intel, Refused to Strike Critical ISIS Targets For Over a Year”

Because ValJar ordered him to leave ISIS alone?
