Obama Throws America's Spies Under The Bus MICHAEL B KELLEY AND BRETT LOGIURATO SEP. 29, 2014
One Intelligence Official Says Obama's "BSing."
In a "60 Minutes" interview Sunday night, President Barack Obama placed blame squarely at the foot of the US intelligence community for the rise of the Islamic State, the extremist group also known as ISIS.
Citing comments from Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Obama said the intelligence community had "underestimated what had been taking place in Syria," referring to the rise of ISIS militants in the country's northeast.
But American spies, experts, and journalists who have been watching the progress of ISIS, the extremist offshoot of Al Qaeda, immediately pushed back against the president's assessment.
"Either the president doesn’t read the intelligence he’s getting, or he’s bullshitting," one former senior Pentagon official who worked closely on the threat posed by Sunni jihadists in Syria and Iraq told Eli Lake of The Daily Beast.

Just like Carter did.
Obama lied?. I am shocked, shocked I tell you. (/S)
It has not stopped for over six years. And the Congress fiddles while America burns.
They need to drive him back and forth in front of the Dallas School Book Depository.
When Hussein tells an Obama,
You and I call it a LIE!
John Pinetta knows what’s going on. Hope he has to testify someday.
Wasn't it two or three years ago that Obama skipped the National Intelligence summaries , like 60 % of the time ?
About that time , Narcisi Pelousey said :" He is the smartest guy in the room .."
The incompetence flowing from the Oval Office is beyond comprehension.
I Slam Islam, why, I cannot tell. I just know I slam Islam.
and he wonders why people can crash the gate and gain access to the white house??
Reading Intelligence reports is like, you know, like work. BO can’t be bothered with that. He has Val read it for him and maybe, like tell him if something is wrong if he’s not too busy watching ESPN or sleeping late or getting ready for golf followed by a party. He can’t be bothered.
When Fallujah fell to ISIS in January it should have been a hint to Obama - even if he wasn’t bothering with his briefings...
how would obama even know? he misses briefings, he only finds stuff out in the morning paper, and he golfs all the damn time.
Clapper deserves to be pee’d on by his little narcissist toad master. Lackey. Sleep with dogs, get up with fleas.
obama also said “we” (thank you Pres Bush) left Iraq as a stable democracy with an established military and
al-Maliki blew it.

Evrrything traitor Clown Prince nobama does in intentional.
It's pretty unbelievable the way POTUS has been conducting himself and the ship of state recently; is he losing it, or what?!
This incompetence (sic) is starting to really scare me.
OMG..... I get carrot cake about once a month and you damn near made me choke to death on it.
the intelligence community isn’t going to take kindly to this -
One of these SOME one is going to spill the beans
