The U.S. had expected the Iraqi army to do more against extremists, president says in acknowledgment of intelligence shortcomings
resident Obama acknowledged that the U.S. underestimated the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS, also called ISIL) and overestimated the ability of the Iraqi military to fend off the militant group in an interview that will air Sunday on 60 Minutes.

Funny how the guy who was all about “I”, “I”, “I” a few months ago is all “they” and “we” now.

No, OBAMA underestimated ISIS. After all, what do you expect from a Muslim President who play golf 24/365 and surrounds himself with political hacks as “security” advisers? But you think Obama will ever admit that he, personally, was wrong about anything?

Politico says today:
Whatever the scenario, in taking the lead against ISIL, the United States has painted a bull’s-eye on its citizens.

They are bringing this war to our towns, our streets. The OK City beheading and butchering last week was just one of many yet to come. This is a civil war, muslims vs everyone else, playing out in our very own neighborhoods. We are Spain in the Middle Ages. We will have to each defend our own selves and families in hand-to-hand combat.
The Human Resources Department at the office will have to come up with new policies:
Fighting at the office means you will be terminated.
Beheading at the office means you will be shot.

Wait! WE didn't call them The Second String.

US underestimated ISIS? Obama underestimated ISIS. The generals have been warning him for a couple years, but Boy Wonder could not be bothered.

He still thinks he can just tell others to do the hard work and it will magically get done.

“No.....OBAMA underestimated the rise of ISIS.”

That’s correct.
He’s never accepts responsibility. Ever.
A true narcissist.

Right. It is HIS fault. He cares more for his own PR than the life of Americans or the future of the USA.

Imagine how the CIA and military intelligence must feel watching this pretender throw them under the bus on ISIS. In all likelihood, Bamster was well warned of what was brewing and told them to stuff it. Then he and Valerie Jarrett went and had coffee to discuss his next golf vacation.
