President Barack Obama acknowledged that U.S. intelligence agencies underestimated the threat from Islamic State militants and overestimated the ability and will of Iraq’s army to fight.
Questioning Obama’s strategy to destroy the group, House Speaker John Boehner said the U.S. may have “no choice” but to send in American troops if the mix of U.S.-led airstrikes and a ground campaign reliant on Iraqi forces, Kurdish fighters and soon-to-be trained Syrian rebels fails to achieve that goal. …

Seems to be a lot mis-estimating going on. What are they going to say when we get hit really hard. and we will.

His people, his F’up, his incompetence, but..........................Bush’s fault!
This should do wonders for the morale of our intelligence agencies. The question is.........So what are they gonna do about it? The CIA / NSA/ Covert operations community are not quite the types you want to throw under the bus?
Well, this POS hired the chiefs of all those intel agencies.
One of these days they are going to make him pay.
The Queer-In-charge is getting into a stage of denial, that no other president has ever had!
Why? The Queer-in-Charge has been foisting a religion of death upon America, and all of his kinsmen have been openly demonstrating what that religion, really is, and he cannot accept that.
It is time for ALL of America, for everyone that is on ‘the list of hatred’ devised by these mohammedans, and rise up, ship their butts out, (even those born here), tear down their buildings, and destroy any evidence of their existence, since their ‘religion’ is anathema to the u.S. constitution. If they DON’T go, feed them to the sharks.
US ?. HE is totally responsible and it is HE who does his best to aid the enemy at every opportunity.
This is disgusting. Obama took all support away from the Iraqis, has done nothing but encourage the “rebels,” aka, Islamist militants, throughout the ME...and he blames the US? And US intelligence services?
He is despicable.
I wouldn’t mind if Obama blamed McCain.
The Democrat’s bad Judgement and poor decisions are everywhere else too, they have been providing support to “Syrian rebels”, Egypt, Iran, Libya, ect, and in complete denial about Bush getting anything right in Iraq, the economy is always said to be about to recover, neglected National Security...
McCain, whatever he may be, isn’t the POTUS.
Obama....It’s about you and your big, fat promise to get every last one of our guys out of there. We have always left a force behind after any war.
He himself made the estimate when he said....alqueda is no more...after we took out Osama.
The agencies work for him! He has oversight!The buck stops at his desk. He is responsible.
The buck stops anywhere but at Obama’s feet.
Obama was so over burned with partying with the Hollywood and athletes elites that he has not time left for the daily intelligence briefs. When not partying, he was playing golf.
An article in the Prague newspaper, Prager Zeitungon:
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their President.”
And even Feinstein was warning about it many months before Obama finally acknowledged it. Feinstein had the same intel as Obama.
