Whoa: 50 military intel chiefs just REVOLTED against Obama
Allen B West ^ | 09/11/15 | Allen West

”It’s being called a ‘revolt’ by intelligence pros who are paid to give their honest assessment of the ISIS war—but are instead seeing their reports turned into happy talk.

More than 50 intelligence analysts working out of the U.S. military’s Central Command have formally complained that their reports on ISIS and al-Qaida’s branch in Syria were being inappropriately altered by senior officials, The Daily Beast has learned.

The complaints spurred the Pentagon’s inspector general to open an investigation into the alleged manipulation of intelligence. The fact that so many people complained suggests there are deep-rooted, systemic problems in how the U.S. military command charged with the war against the self-proclaimed Islamic State assesses intelligence. “The cancer was within the senior level of the intelligence command,” one defense official said.

The ARAB-KENYAN Muslim in the Oval Office is lucky that they didn't REMOVE HIM FOR OFFICE for his TREASON.

Pay attention to just HOW MUCH the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF and his IRANIAN SPY HATES CHRISTIANS !

This stinking piece of crap that's defiling our Oval Office is importing the Radical Islamists that will kill us.
When will congress get the guts tho IMPEACH, CONVICT and EXECUTE that ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF ? Also, don't forget this: I'll bet the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF and his IRANIAN SPY are intending on EVERY ONE OF THEM to be used for importing a RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORIST !

UNHCR data confirms it: 75% of the so-called refugees arriving in Europe are MEN.

It might make sense for the administration to alter reports in a way that paints a rosier picture for the public, but what would be the point of altering intelligence that will only be seen by people with security clearances?

This ‘revolt’ should have taken place about six years ago, when Obama started to telegraph every major move the military was about to make or consider. There still won’t be any impeachment or indictment of anyone.
I can already hear Hillary asking “What difference at this point does it make?”

Unless the Bill of Impeachment starts with the House Democrats it will never start.

Boehner will never bring a bill of impeachment to the floor any other way. Boehner was in the Senate when the Clinton Impeachment supposedly irreparably damaged the Republican majority. So he will not take the chance of damaging the Republican hold on power.

So, knowing as we do that the Democrats love power more than they do the Constitution; Obama will never be impeached.

Should take about 15 seconds to do a laboriously thorough job.

Hmm,

Yep, nothing there, a complete and total lack of intelligence.

I would not trust ANY liberal military member. To be military and liberal is akin to being a Catholic athiest.

Sorry, but dats da way ‘tis.

Security analyst reports are used to make decisions.

If you desire decisions to be made a certain way you would alter the reports appropriately.

So if you want ISIS to have time to take a certain city in Iraq you would write the report underestimating their strength and progress in that area.

Given that some of these reports are read by congress and their staff, If you want Iran to have more time to build their nuclear weapon you would suggest in your report that their centrifuges are not as efficient as you truly believe them to be.

There is a vile trend of telling “what you think they want to hear,” rather than the truth that has permeated the entire system. Changing the narrative in a classified environment is exponentially easier than in the public arena. It is a very controlled environment, filled primarily with career bureaucrats looking out only for their self interest.

Many staff meetings have degenerated into “The Stepford Wives do Groundhog Day.” And always remember, omission is harder to prove.

"...what would be the point of altering intelligence that will only be seen by people with security clearances?"

Bullet points:

Plausible deniability for the higher-ups.

Alter the intel picture to render any action taken incorrect or ineffective.

Shift blame for outcomes to lower ranking but loyal and effective analysts/operatives, discrediting them while justifying treasonous actions taken with malice and forethought.
