Pentagon contradicts Obama, says they’ve been “very clear” about ISIS threat in Iraq all along

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.

I agree, and I think this theory of how narcissistic personality disorders originate is enlightening:

“As mentioned earlier, Kohut assumes that a narcissistic personality suffers from developmental arrest. Specifically, he assumes that this type of personality mirrors adaptive narcissistic wishes, needs, and objectives that, nevertheless, have not been satisfied during childhood development by the parental environment. Here, the grandiose self is nothing more than an archaic form that prospectively ought to become the normal self.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Kernberg

Narcissism is the natural state of children, but those narcissistic demands are normally satisfied by normal parenting, and the child grows out of that stage. If the needs aren’t met, as might happen with a string of changing and absentee parents, the child may never develop beyond that stage.

Have a strong feeling he may crack.

There was a news conference recently where he looked terrible: drugged, hungover or stoned. Left eye was shut, right eye barely open. No one in the media questioned his appearance. Was obvious something was wrong.

Can you post the link to that news conference? Thank you.

I wish one of FR’s artists could draw Obama walking through destroyed neighborhoods, Michelle, Malia, and Sasha walking behind in burqas and a caption “Coming to a Mosque near you soon!”

Or something similar. We need to get through to these people but I swear I don’t know how. It’s like trying to convince a kid to put down their video controller and do their homework. Ain’t gonna happen on its own.

isis didn’t exist for the same reason benghazi wasn’t terrorism; because it contradicted obama’s holy narrative.

Yeah, those national security meetings ... he was under the weather those days.

America literally does not have a president. There is a body occupying the White House and a rogue administrative state, but not a president.

I did not realize Valerie Jarrett had quit.

Do they mean.....Obama LIED???

Like the CIA and Benghazi, Barry “I’d rather be golfing” 0 tried to spin this as the fault of personnel in the five-sided building, why, they were not doing their jobs.
And they replied, “Au contraire, Sir Pierre.”
He sleeps late into the morning, misses national security meetings, is either fund-raising or golfing, but as usual, whatever it is ... it’s not his fault.
