Is The White House Responsible For Intelligence On The Islamic State Being 'Manipulated'?

FOX News: Former head of Defense Intelligence Agency responds to claims over ISIS intelligence

The former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency said the White House can’t say it was not made aware of the growing threat ISIS posed in the region in an exclusive interview Monday with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly on “The Kelly File.”

Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said what President Obama has received from the national intelligence system on ISIS is “very accurate,” but may not have met a “narrative” out of the White House.

“It is a cancer inside of the Islamic religion, and the White House and the President have not wanted to say that,” he said.

WNU Editor: Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn is very clear in the above video .... President Obama knew exactly who ISIS was, what they were doing, and what the trend lines were indicating. That if there is an intelligence failure or manipulation of the intel .... any investigation should start with the White House. My prediction .... the investigation that is currently being pursued is going to avoid that road. As to the bigger question .... was intel deliberately manipulated to appease the White House. Orders and emails had to be sent out .... therefore it will be easy to find out who issued those orders/emails (unless the evidence has been destroyed), and to then ask the hard questions, starting with why. But then again .... I find President Obama's explanations and his demand to find answers hard to believe. This blog has been covering these conflicts for years, and it has also been posting stories on the dangerous rise of these militant groups in Iraq and Syria for years .... if I knew that all of this was happening, I find it hard to believe that the President of the United States .... with far greater resources than little old me .... was in the dark on what was happening. No .... what I am seeing right now is a U.S. President trying to "cover his ass", and as the situation in the Middle East continues to deteriorate, to blame others for his mistakes.
