Here’s the key:
“Another source said Obama officials were not open to “the narrative that ISIS is winning.”
From the reporting I’ve seen, if it doesn’t fit Obama’s political agenda, he & his officials don’t want to see it. Obama is not being mislead (IMO). This is like the Benghazi situation - they knew almost immediately it was a terrorist attack, but that didn’t fit the political agenda, so they said it was the video. Obama knew the truth then ... he knows the truth that ISIS is not “the JV team” now.
You’re saying Obama knows the truth Qiviut... but Obama wants the lies... to fool... people in his administration? Or like Benghazi is his administration ‘in the know’? Why the lies then?
Is the purpose of the lies to direct military policy in an Obama desired direction? Is the military the target of the lies?
I appreciate all the help... I’m still not getting the ‘second step’... who’s suppose to be tricked by the lies - and to what benefit. I might have a block on this issue... I’ll reread... again thanks for the help.
