Lawmaker: Terror intel manipulation dates back to at least 2012

The alleged manipulation of intelligence to downplay the strength of terror groups is far more extensive than previously reported and goes back to at least 2012, according to the Republican chairman of the House intelligence committee.

The Defense Department inspector general and congressional investigators are reviewing claims that intelligence on the Islamic State was manipulated to present a more positive picture of the U.S. strategy's effectiveness. Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said these practices, though, extend to how intelligence on Al Qaeda was handled as well.

[snip] While President Obama early last year, in an interview with The New Yorker, referred to ISIS as the "JV team," and has described Al Qaeda as "decimated," Nunes' suspicions were further confirmed by a 2013 incident at Florida's U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).

The ‘pretend American’ president covers for his Caliphate crew (ISIS, Al Qaeda, Nusra, etc.). What exactly is needed to arrest and jail a president and his people for HIGH TREASON again? Someone please tell me..

As soon as it became apparent that the complete withdrawal of troops from Iraq and the stifling ROE in Afghanistan was a horrible and stupidly doctrinaire mistake, Obama had to cover his tracks and covertly support the radical Islamists.

President Obama.

Our COMMANDER In Chief of all our military forces.

The word Commander goes all the way back to the Sanskrit language.

It meant, “The person to whom we entrust our beloved”.

Our BELOVED.

And Obama and the Democrat Party could care less about those we love.

And here’s a news flash, if he doesn’t care about our loved one in the military, then he doesn’t care about our loved ones who are civilians.

Think about that.

He doesn’t care.

Will anything be done about it? I’m doubtful anything will change.

"Will anything be done about it?"

Did Lee Harvey have any children and grandchildren?

The Intel gathered from the bin Laden raid was buried, little of it was seen by anyone, and mostly after the sell by date for action.
