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.

Obama: ‘We’re going to have to change how the media reports’
Can’t imagine WHY he would say that, do you?
Et tu too!
Obama will just claim he heard about this on the news
Just think.....after they take over the internet he won’t have to use that excuse anymore.
We heard about arms shipmentd 2-3 years ago and it was supposed to be the CIA supplying arms to anti-Assad forces.
Or they are trying to make ISIS look like a creation of Quaddafi.

ISIS was nurtured in the Syrian Civil War battlefield where Assad’s power was reduced to control IS or anyone else by the rebellion. Outside forces behind the civil war include Saudi Arabia with sympathy from the EU and the Obama Administration (Obama-Hillary) plus the saber rattling of folks like John McCain and Lindsey Graham. Israel has staged several air attacks during the civil war aimed at destroying weapons that could be used against Israel.
There are plenty of culprits in creating the IS and I’m not going to roll over for the self-serving Republican Party propaganda that wants to steer me in the direction of supporting liberal GOPe politicians by total demonization of the Democrats as always being the only wrongdoers in every situation.
At the time, these were Al-Quaida affiliates in Libya opposed to Ghadaffi. The Administration was arming an enemy of the United States named as such in statutory law, the essence of treason, for which there most certainly must be two witnesses. This is why the left has been stiffing any investigation on the topic for years.
I hope when we have our new President, we finally have a Justice Dept. again that will address the crimes that have been committed against our country.
Are you saying they knew of the attack and did nothing to get the Ambassador out?
That is what the report on Conservative Treehouse is saying. Remember, the Ambassador was begging for more security in the days leading up to the attack, and his pleas were ignored. Stevens knew what was going on with these arms sales and he knew of the threats to the Embassy.
The whole business of the CIA having 100 personnel in a relatively backwater medium-sized, non-capital city in a small (by population) Arab country, does strongly beg the question, “what were they doing there?”
Benghazi is not among the 50 largest cities in the Middle East, yet the press has zero curiosity about this.
Did the administration call Stephieboy and other committed allies in the press and get them to smother their curiosity? Just weird.
When someone claims to be the caliphate and the muslims believe him, it’s going to be sickening to watch Obama, Hillary and the rinos all bow down to him.
Yep. McCain is still all in for arming the rebels.
And Egypt warned us on Sept 4.
