Lt. Gen. (ret.) Michael Flynn, former head of the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) from 2012 to 2014, told CNN on Tuesday that US President Barack Obama ignored a report in 2012 about the rise of Islamic State (ISIS) because it didn't meet his reelection "narrative."
Flynn just this Sunday told the German Der Spiegel that the US was "dumb" to release Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi back in 2004, classifying him as "harmless" and allowing him to go on to form ISIS. ...

Obama LIED about Benghazi and the “youtube video” — to get reelected.
Power at ANY price. And Congress just lets it keep going on.
The Voters also ignored everything and reelected him
good going....
As late as it is that man must be brought up on impeachment charges.
And the Republicans didn’t put up much of a fight based on who they nominated against him.
Bush released Bagdadi. Big mistake.
They didn’t put up any fight at all.
> Obama ignored a report in 2012 about the rise of Islamic State (ISIS) because it didn’t meet his reelection “narrative.”
His narrative was, he was committed to closing down GTMO, and that he wasn’t a muzzie himself, so, yeah.
Fail on Romney’s part.
That idiot Romney had all sorts of info at his disposal.
That is why Trump is winning now, because he says things straight and clear.
At most Romney might gingerly suggest something, and back off later.
And they'd do so again.
“The head of this band of savages is a man named Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, the new Osama Bin Laden,” Pirro said. “A man released by Obama in 2009, who started ISIS a year later.
There have been several articles — from Slate, and NBC among others — that place Baghdadi at a detention facility in Iraq called Camp Bucca in 2009 (when Obama would have been president).
Yeah, there’s that. And then there’s everything else that he’s lied about. I truly believe he is a soulless person because that’s the only type of individual that can continually lie and not feel any guilt.
JMHO.
"Narrative" is another word for "storytelling".
No government pensions were harmed in the making of this story.
All I need to know is that not one high ranking officer resigned their commissions over the strategic misdeeds of the Obama Administration.
General Flynn blamed the creation of ISIS on the Bush Admnistration:

In my humble opinion, General Flynn is not to be trusted.
Since we obviously have no Constitutional protection to arrest and purge treasonous politicians I’m wondering if there is a fail/safe military group assigned to protect our Constitution and Republic. Politicians seem to mired in the power and corruption of DC to put our Republic first. This is incredibly distressing and this admin has over a year to go and we have no brakemen.
