Pentagon contradicts Obama, says they’ve been “very clear” about ISIS threat in Iraq all along
http://therightscoop.com/ ^ | August 11, 2014 | Joe Guest

On Saturday, President Obama said the intelligence community underestimated the threat by ISIS which is why he did not act until now:

There is no doubt that their advance, their movement over the last several months has been more rapid than the intelligence estimates and I think the expectations of policymakers both in and outside of Iraq.

Aside from the fact that advances by ISIS has been known to anyone who’s had access to YouTube or Twitter, the Pentagon, when asked if they were caught off guard by ISIS today, tells a completely different story. They responded that the US did know about the threat posed by ISIS all along:

“We have been very clear about the threat posed by ISIS. We have been very consistent about that threat in the region and in Iraq.”

The statement from the General is more damaging when you consider that it is a direct response to a question that according to some reports the White House was caught off guard.

Truth is this will not at all damage Obama’s credibility if the GOP machine does not line up to point this General’s comment.

After nearly 6 years of observing B. Hussein’s ACTIONS, which choice (IYHO), as listed below, best describes Obama?

A.) “Psychopatic personality,

1.) a person characterized by:
* emotional instability,
** lack of sound judgement,
* perverse and impulsive (often criminal) behavior,
*** inability to learn from experience,
* amoral and asocial feelings,
* and other serious personality defects:
* he may or may not have psychotic attacks or symptoms.”

B.) “Asocial,

implies:
* complete indifference to the interests, welfare, etc. of society,
* and connotes abnormal or irresponsible self-centeredness - - -.”

The feckless fool on the hill is living in la la land, he doesn't know his left hand from his right. Just don't cross a narcissist, they think they're perfect, until everyone around them turns against them. He's cracking—they cannot cover for him forever.

The pentagon needs to stay calm and quiet. Why would they want to disturb Clown Prince nobama’s golf game or his many vacay lobster dinners?
