[ Fury as Obama blames intelligence agencies for Isil surprise ]

I predict that this MAY backfire on him as some intelligence officer may submit to the media the last 2-3 years of intelligence briefings.....

Especially the ones in 2012 that specifically warn of ISIS....

All it takes is enough bodies under the bus for it to lose traction and start spinning out...

Who else could he blame it on...the mail man?
The dog ate my intelligence briefing?
Really pathetic.
He shouldn’t be thrown out of the White House.
He should be LAUGHED out to go live in obscurity.

Good bus analogy.

Have you noticed when things go well Obama refers to "his team" when things go sideways its "our team."

Great leadership.

Mickey-the-Dunce Obama has used US taxpayer money for Islamic rape, Islamic terrorism, Islamic genocide and Islamic slavery.

Maybe the CIA and the NSA should drop some evidence they have collected on this poser.

The smartest man in the room, the guy who knows everything before it's in the paper, the guy who knows more about everything than his advisors, and all we ever hear from him is I didn't know, no one told me, and his favorite, BUSH'S FAULT! This would be expected if he was a third world dictator, sadly all he is , is a first world DICK!

It is never wise for a president to publicly humiliate the intelligence community. The spooks have ways of getting back at you.

The CIA are nasty people to get crosswise to. The whole world is their Ft. Marcy Park!

Yep I know.

My understanding is that within our intelligence community there are “White Hats” and “Black Hats”.

The Black Hats (most of them are somewhere near the top) are the ones that are doing this.

While the, “White Hats” (most of them on the bottom to mid level of the intelligence chain) are trying their very best to do the right thing. They are the true patriots.

At least that is being said around the web. Nevertheless, that would explain the schizophrenic behavior?
