I believe Beck is referring to the same document?

Glenn Beck Reluctantly Claims His Prediction Is Coming True: 'I Wish We Would Have Been Wrong...but We’re Not'

"Beck went on to share a recently declassified Department of Defense document that seems to suggest the Obama administration knew about the potential for a radicalized group like the Islamic State, but allowed it to flourish in hopes that it would topple Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad's regime.

The Defense Department paper is from 2012, months before Election Day.

"The election was nearing," Beck said. “[A]nd they were in the midst of a horrible PR disaster, trying to appear strong on terror as terrorism was surging.”

The document describes a strong potential for a Salafist, or orthodox Sunni Islamic, movement to arise in Syria. The Islamic State had not yet declared its desired "caliphate," but Beck said the intelligence community was "spot on.""

Now it becomes clear why 0dunga doesn’t seem worried about an ISIS attack in the United States. He is funding them and probably has some degree of control over their battle decisions. This is also why 0dunga has MICROMANAGED AUTHORITY OVER WHAT TARGETS WE STRIKE. He is not interested in wiping ISIS out.. On the contrary he has allowed them to grow and there’s a mutual agreement that ISIS not attack us.. YET.

Could be. I don't doubt that Obama has allowed ISIS to flourish with the goal of bringing down Assad. Anything else that happens is secondary to bringing down Assad his main goal.
