Administration Doctoring ISIS Intel [semi-satire]

More than 50 analysts for the Defense Intelligence Agency have complained to the Department of Defense's Inspector General that their reports are being fraudulently altered by "higher ups." The gist of the alterations has been to make the Administration's war against terror appear more successful than it actually is.

"For the most part our efforts against ISIS have been ineffective," said one analyst requesting anonymity. "Despite the drone strikes and the President's tough talk, ISIS continues to gain strength. They have seized the American-made weapons abandoned by an Iraqi Army unwilling to fight. ISIS atrocities remain unabated. There is no on-the-ground evidence for President Obama's claim that we are degrading this organization's abilities."

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper defended the alterations as "within the normal bounds of executive privilege. These low-level analysts lack the vision to comprehend President Obama's strategy. They do not grasp the point that an official stance describing ISIL as degraded is a psy-op intended to both bolster our allies and undermine the morale of ISIL's fighters."

Clapper went on to characterize the balky analysts as "insubordinate, at best. By going public with their objections they have damaged the President's strategy and might well be guilty of treason. Rooting out this nest of vipers and neutralizing them has been moved to the top of my agenda."

I’m remembering the wildly optimistic body counts coming out of Viet Nam near the end of the war, and how that turned out.

Isn’t it great how they can erase the numbers on reports and really kill more of the enemy. They should change the name of them and completely do away with them. Call them Muslim brotherhood or something.

Small believable lies are strategic, large unbelievable lies are desperation.

I think Jarrett concocted this intelligent lie to give Obama cover.

More accurate than satire. Good one
