This could get very interesting.

They will be playing the “JV” comment a 100 years from now as an example of presidential ineptitude.

As Mark Levin just said on his show, Obama either never read the intel reports they were providing him, or he disregarded them, being that he is the smartest guy in the room.

That’s an accurate cartoon. Especially part about the clown shoes, lime green suit, and watering can. They left out the plaid neckerchief and red nose, however.

Nothing will happen.

Our intelligence agencies are now coopted into the big government machine.

And why the goofball insistence to call it ISIL when nobody else calls it that?

Clapper stinks but if he has any amount of self respect he would resign in protest.

Agree 100%!

If you think about it. Clapper admitted they have broken federal laws in order to enforce other laws.

Furthermore, it means they have committed perjury when asked how they gathered the evidence, under oath in a court of law over and over again. Thus, making a mockery of our laws, our Judaical Branch and the U.S. Constitution.

As we learned in 1947 Nuremberg Court the defense of “I was just following orders” is simply no excuse.

Because the intelligence briefings over the last 2 years were specific about ISIS (predominantly because at the time they were only in Syria). Now, Obama wants everyone to think ISIL, where the L stands for Levant, which covers a far greater geographic area, including Jordan, Israel, etc. By calling it ISIL, he wants to differentiate between ISIS, which he was warning about, and some other terror group.

Have you ever heard the A-hole admit that he was ever wrong? No, and you never will because it is ALWAYS someone else’s fault.

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

Spent their formative years in the late '60s, early '70s.

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.

Spent their formative years in the Reagan era.

How about the spooks releasing a few interesting photos, some DNA analysis, and pages from a medical record, for a start?

I wonder if Obama is calling in the IRS for consultation on how to lose records?

Come on Barry, declassify and release the relevant daily intelligence briefings just as George Bush did. While we wait for that, I don’t plan on holding my breath.

Who else could he blame it on...the mail man?

George W. Bush. Who else? It's always his fault.

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.....

That would be GREAT! And probably worth getting fired for

Hey, CIA, NSA!

0bama says you’re stupid.

What do you have to say about that?

They're probably the ones who gave him the idea to toss the blame over to them so he could save face.
