Seventeen months before President Obama dismissed the Islamic State as a "JV team," a Defense Intelligence Agency report predicted the rise of the terror group and likely establishment of a caliphate if its momentum was not reversed.

While the report was circulated to the CIA, State Department and senior military leaders, among others, it's not known whether Obama was ever briefed on the document.

The DIA report, which was reviewed by Fox News, was obtained through a federal lawsuit by conservative watchdog Judicial Watch. Documents from the lawsuit also reveal a host of new details about events leading up to the 2012 Benghazi terror attack -- and how the movement of weapons from Libya to Syria fueled the violence there.

The report on the growing threat posed by what is now known as the Islamic State was sent on Aug. 5, 2012.

Considering Obama doesn’t bother to go to his briefings, probably not.

Wasn't this about the time that Nazi Pelousey called him "the smartest guy in the room "
and we later learned that he wasn't even attending the weekly intelligence meetings ?
So he had other things on his mind ,..
like his 'putting game' .

Curious why they just didn’t issue a Denial on his behalfL:

Obama Denies ever being briefed.
Force the Muslim to react.

0dumbo doesn’t attend security briefings because AS A MUSLIM he cannot tolerate hearing bad things about Muslims, or our military brass criticizing them.

The Benghazi report detailed at theconservativetreehouse.com, shows that the Obama administration and the CIA were all in on the transfer of arms to Syria. They also knew of the planned terrorist attack ten days before it happened.

This administration armed ISIS!

... before President Obama dismissed the Islamic State as a "JV team,"...

Obama is clueless because he's part of a sophomore team. Someday he may advance to junior status. Maybe...

Report about proto-ISIS issued by DIA on August 5, 2012.
Attack on Benghazi Mission on September 11, 2012.

Acting CIA director Mike Morrell admits that CIA was “monitoring” a weapons program in Benghazi when the attack occurred.

Even if Obama was too busy golfing to know what his own government was doing, and even if things were structured to screen CIA or DOD out of a State Dept run operation, Obama’s NSC people had to know about any weapons programs for arming Syrian “moderates”. Why hasn’t Gowdy subpoena’ed records and testimony from them? If NSC didn’t know, it is a scandal beyond anything in memory. If they did, ditto.

If that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave had not pulled the troops out in 2009 ISIS would have never had a chance. He is the only to blame
