'Something's wrong': The ISIS intelligence scandal just hit Obama's inner circle

The scandal surrounding US intelligence reports on ISIS just hit President Barack Obama's inner circle.

James Clapper, America's top spy, is reportedly in "frequent and unusual contact" with the military officer who is suspected of allowing US reports on ISIS to be altered to fit the administration's official line, Spencer Ackerman at The Guardian reports.

"In communications, Clapper, who is far more senior than Grove, is said to tell Grove how the war looks from his vantage point, and question Grove about Central Command’s assessments," Ackerman writes.

"Such a situation could place inherent pressure on a subordinate, sources said."

Clapper, the director of national intelligence, reportedly talks to Army Brig. Gen. Steven Grove, the head of US Central Command's intelligence wing, almost every day, according to The Guardian.

A former intelligence official told the newspaper that this was "highly unusual."

This report comes amid a Pentagon investigation into accusations that top military officials have pressured analysts into conforming their reports to the Obama administration's narrative of the fight against ISIS (also known as Islamic State, ISIL, and Daesh).

More than 50 intelligence analysts at Centcom, the Pentagon agency covering security interests in nations throughout the Middle East and Central Asia, have formally complained that senior intelligence officers have insisted on changing ISIS reports to make them reflect more positively on US efforts in the region, The Daily Beast reported this week.

I know. I just could not believe it, not in the presidency.
Well, I do believe it. I don’t know what else it truly could be.

It was laughable then, and tragic now. He was covering for Huma, and Obama’s henchmen of “the Brotherhood” who have open access to the Oval Office.

He is simply another in the long line of traitors in our nation. “

Many people need lynchin’.

"Stupid or evil?" is the question posed by more than one poster on this thread.

Certainly evil - and cunning if not wise. He is an obvious mouthpiece for the jihadists. The Iran deal - which could well kill off what is left of Western Civilization - illustrates this.

Two terms known to most here but not among the public at large are pertinent: "hudna" and "taqiyah."

Hudna - no treaty with the infidel will endure for longer than ten years - during which period the Muslims will gather their strength for the coming battle.

Taqiyah - it is right to lie to support the purpose of Islam.

This is what the Obama Regime believes in and what it will use to undo us.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
