In what is a shocking development, 50 intelligence analysts are in full revolution against the Obama regime. They assert that Obama is cooking the intelligence books:
More than 50 intelligence analysts working out of the U.S. military's Central Command have formally complained that their reports on ISIS and al Qaeda’s branch in Syria were being inappropriately altered by senior officials, The Daily Beast has learned.Obama's hand can be seen in the process:The complaints spurred the Pentagon’s inspector general to open an investigation into the alleged manipulation of intelligence. The fact that so many people complained suggests there are deep-rooted, systemic problems in how the U.S. military command charged with the war against the self-proclaimed Islamic State assesses intelligence.
“The cancer was within the senior level of the intelligence command,” one defense official said.
The complaints allege that in some cases key elements of intelligence reports were removed, resulting in a document that didn’t accurately capture the analysts’ conclusions, sources familiar with the protest said. But the complaint also goes beyond alleged altering of reports and accuses some senior leaders at CENTCOM of creating an unprofessional work environment. One person who knows the contents of the written complaint sent to the inspector general said it used the word “Stalinist” to describe the tone set by officials overseeing CENTCOM’s analysis.Obama wants ISIS undersold:
Two senior analysts at CENTCOM signed a written complaint sent to the Defense Department inspector general in July alleging that the reports, some of which were briefed to President Obama, portrayed the terror groups as weaker than the analysts believe they are. The reports were changed by CENTCOM higher-ups to adhere to the administration’s public line that the U.S. is winning the battle against ISIS and al Nusra, al Qaeda’s branch in Syria, the analysts claim.While this kind of revolt is startling, Obama's lying is nothing new. Obama depicted ISIS as the "JV" and then denied saying it. Lies.
In great irony, Obama blamed "bad intel" for his miserable performance.
Another lie.
Obama had been warned three times about ISIS, including a warning from Lt. Gen Michael Flynn:
On Feb. 11, 2014, the Pentagon’s top intelligence official, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, warned the group would likely attempt to take over even more territory.Michael Flynn was the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency from 2012-2014, and was appointed by Obama. Flynn has been very critical of Obama's disastrous Middle East policies. Flynn asserts that arming and funding ISIS was a "willful decision":“ISIL probably will attempt to take territory in Iraq and Syria to exhibit its strength in 2014, as demonstrated recently in Ramadi and Fallujah, and the group’s ability to concurrently maintain multiple safe havens in Syria,” Flynn told the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Similarly, Rand Paul has asserted that Obama armed the allies of ISIS.
There's more US stupidity here:
Why is Obama cooking the books?
It's not secret that Obama (and Hillary Clinton) wanted Assad out. To that end Obama and Hillary were in favor of working the Free Syrian Army. Obama and Hillary wanted Assad out so badly they were willing to ignore the alliance between the FSA and ISIS. Those in opposition to Assad needed weapons. There happened to be a plethora of weapons available not all that far away- in Gaddafi's arsenal in Libya. The broker for those deals was Ambassador Chris Stevens:

I’m waiting for the day when he finally openly declares himself to be what we all know he is...a Marxist leaning MUSLIM!
Everything thing that POS has done in office fits a pattern. He is either a muslim, or a communist using muslims to destroy America, or he is both muslim and communist. What irks me is that he is still in power.
5.56mm
It’s what an enemy islamist CIC would do.
POSOTUS is the JV coach.
Yup. It fits a patter of Stupidity, Ignorance, Laziness and pushy Arrogance; The sort of behavior for which the "n-word" was created to describe.
But a diabolical cleverness? No. Just an @$$hole who finds himself in a position of power.
Why do they even need to ask the question?
Raised as a mohamedan, our president wants them to grow stronger while we look the other way.
I doubt this is a new problem. Remember back when up to the fall of the USSR the CIA kept overestimating the Soviet economy and military strength. This is a problem of too many reviewers massaging reports to meet their own needs.
