It then brings into question, were they - are they lying? Or, there was 'intelligence' and they simply ignored it because it didn't fit the Obama Re-Election Campaign's vision of Obama's nonexistent Foreign Policy.
Probably a combination of both. They bucked what info they bothered listening to in order to "demonstrate" that Zero's "policies" were going to defang the terrorists, then had to bring in the arsenal of lies to try to cover his sorry a$$ when it hit the fan. I'm still waiting for his final last gasp "stategy to perform some sort of "kinetic" action about 5 days before the election.
