Obama Admits Administration Failure: Says Overestimated Iraq Army, Underestimated I S I S

[CrusaderFrank]

Obama's lies are off the wall crazy at this point. His apologists are probably becoming addicted to Immodium AD because he has them shitting themselves so badly with his fairy tales.



"'By February [2014] we had generals basically reading out their memos to Congress,' he added, referring to testimony from Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

Flynn predicted ISIS 'probably will attempt to take territory in Iraq and Syria to exhibit its strength in 2014.' The Islamist terror group had already seized Fallujah and Ramadi, he said, had the 'ability to concurrently maintain multiple safe havens in Syria.'

By the time Flynn spoke on Capitol Hill, Congress had already heard the story at least once before.

Assistant Secretary of State Brett McGurk told a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee in November 2013 that ISIS had been militarily active all year because of 'a permissive operating environment due to inherent weaknesses of Iraqi security forces, poor operational tactics, and popular grievances, which remain unaddressed.'"

'It has also benefited from a sanctuary across the porous border in Syria, control of lucrative facilities there, such as oil wells, and regular movement of weapons and fighters between Syria and Iraq,' McGurk said."

Obama has had accurate intelligence about ISIS since BEFORE the 2012 election says administration insider Daily Mail Online

Apologists is too nice and misses the mark, that's why they're called Obama Fluffers

We should buy stock! Who produces the stuff?

 

[asterism]

Of course BHO is to blame: he is the president. And so is Bush, even more, for giving him such a fucked up situation. Only EconChick could have saved the Iraqi Army, but . . . there you go.

But Obama just put the blame on the IC. So is he correct or is he spinning?

 

[Papageorgio]

Why don't you explain to the classroom how ISIS became so well armed and financed that they could invade Iraq lickety split from Syria?

Everyone but the No-Information Right knows that Bush's best buddies, the House of Saud, are behind ISIL!!!!!

Thank God for the Saudis ISIS Iraq and the Lessons of Blowback - The Atlantic

The Free Syrian Army (FSA), the “moderate” armed opposition in the country, receives a lot of attention. But two of the most successful factions fighting Assad’s forces are Islamist extremist groups: Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the latter of which is now amassing territory in Iraq and threatening to further destabilize the entire region. And that success is in part due to the support they have received from two Persian Gulf countries: Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

Qatar’s military and economic largesse has made its way to Jabhat al-Nusra, to the point that a senior Qatari official told me he can identify al-Nusra commanders by the blocks they control in various Syrian cities. But ISIS is another matter. As one senior Qatari official stated, “ISIS has been a Saudi project.”

ISIS, in fact, may have been a major part of Bandar’s covert-ops strategy in Syria.

Obama has been President for almost 6 years so blaming Bush doesn't work any more.

Carter has not been president for more than 25 years, but that didn't stop the Right from blaming Bush's housing crash on Carter and Clinton. Bush owns everything that goes wrong for the next 19 years.

Carter and Clinton share the blame for signing the bills that created the housing bubble. Bush deserves criticism for being unable or unwilling to reverse those bills.

Facts don't lie!

True, facts don't lie: "The National Home Ownership Foundation was established in 1968 under the Housing Act. The National Home Ownership Foundation was intended to encourage both private and public organizations to provide opportunities for home ownership for low-income families in urban and rural communities"

Guess who was president when this was established? It wasn't Clinton, It wasn't Carter --- drum roll please --- it was Richard Nixon.

1968, LBJ was the President. Nixon was elected. Nixon did not take the office until late January 1969. Nice try to revise history.

Besides the issues went further back than that.

Calling Upon the Genius:
Housing Policy in the Great Society, Part Three

...


The final years of the Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society administration were anything but
quiet. Punctuated by riots and assassinations, events seemed to bring America to the brink of
chaos. In the midst of national anxieties over the Viet Nam war, civil rights, riots, and the rising
cost of living, LBJ brought his housing and urban policy to a rousing crescendo.
In 1968, the year Johnson withdrew from the presidential race and seemingly rendered
himself the lamest of lame ducks, this master of passing legislation nonetheless managed to
achieve two mammoth housing laws. The first, a part of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which
Johnson signed in April of that year in the aftermath of the slaying of Dr. Martin Luther King,
was the long-sought breakthrough against discrimination in housing. We will examine this
landmark in the struggle for civil rights in the residential field in a separate section on race and
housing in the United States.
The second, the Housing Act of 1968, profoundly altered the direction of American
housing policy, by shifting production and management of low-income dwellings decisively
away from government and toward the use of private companies. It firmly established the idea
of “public-private partnerships” in social policy, pointing the way toward the public-private
partnerships and “privatization” policies pursued by later presidents, such as Ronald Reagan and
George W. Bush, who were far more conservative than Johnson.
It also changed the trajectory of policy debates in the United States. For decades liberal
advocates of government-owned public housing had battled with conservative supporters of
private (if government-supported) housing industry over the issue of public housing. Under
the Democratic president John F. Kennedy, the government began to retreat from public
housing and experiment with allowing private non-governmental groups to carry out housing
projects. Going further than his predecessor, President Lyndon Johnson embraced the idea that
private industry should collaborate with government in implementing low-income housing
programs—an idea elaborated by the President’s Committee on Urban Housing, chaired by
industrial magnate, Edgar Kaiser.

Obama tried to blame intelligence agencies, but its been shown he was warned at least three times about ISIS or ISIL

3 Times Obama Administration Was Warned About ISIS Threat - ABC News

 

[edthecynic]

The C.I.A. officers have been in southern Turkey for several weeks, in part to help keep weapons out of the hands of fighters allied with Al Qaeda or other terrorist groups, one senior American official said. The Obama administration has said it is not providing arms to the rebels, but it has also acknowledged that Syria’s neighbors would do so.

You need to read your own links!

As my link showed, Prince Bandar, not Obama and not the CIA, was arming and funding ISIL at McCain's urging. Prince Bandar and Bush are considered brothers in the House of Saud, in fact they call hin "Bandar Bush."

The Saudis own ISIL and Boko Haram and Bush owns the Saudis.

Let’s be clear: Al Qaeda, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, Boko Haram, the Shabab and others are all violent Sunni Salafi groupings. For five decades, Saudi Arabia has been the official sponsor of Sunni Salafism across the globe.

I've studied every link I have put up. I have multiple links that show quite clearly that the CIA was working in tandem with Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey. The main players funding and providing military equipment to the paid mercenaries in Syria.

Obama's CIA was also involved in the organization of training of the paid mercenaries errrr rebels.

I recall that you people wouldn't allow us to blame Bush for the disaster of Iraq, no WMD's etc., because you claimed it was an intelligence failure that Bush cannot be held accountable for.

Can we apply this argument to Obama?

Are you saying you want it both ways, or is it Obama's fault?

Or was is not Bush's fault?


Which one?

LOL, it's like trying to teach children that 2+2=4 over and over and over, isn't it....

The NeoCons in GWB's cabnet (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Libby, Wolfowitz) and his brother Jeb all signed the Statement of Principles for the PNAC. Since one of the above claims to have been party to negotiations with Iraq, we can let her explain why they wanted to invade Iraq in 1997.

What's to freaking eat? They let the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood distribute the weapons.

What could possibly go wrong? After all the MB itself is a terrorist organization. By the way they are a key player in the so called coalition our countries are backing to take out Assad.

There's just something about the MB that our moronic leaders obviously can't resist trying to give power to.



"The weapons, including automatic rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, ammunition and some antitank weapons, are being funneled mostly across the Turkish border by way of a shadowy network of intermediaries including Syria’s Muslim Brotherhood and paid for by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the officials said."

Did Limbaugh or Hannity tell you President Obama ignored the military and CIA? Maybe you ought to widen your source(s) of information, since no one but the President and those closest to him know what influenced his decision to bug out of Iraq. It might have been something so simple as reading the daily causualty reports, the failure of the Iraqi Government and their unwillingness to guarantee immunity to our military personnel.

.

overestimating the Iraqi Army.
Really? After 12 years of training and supplying the Iraqi Army, the US over estimated Iraqi Army?
Were our trainers blind? Absolutely no excuse for this oversight

We can tell you libs till we're blind in the face but you won't get it. It was about their commanders abandoning them.

Does it matter if it was the officers or the enlisted men, our trainers should have been able to pick up on that. Either way it was a major mistake on our part.

Guess who was president when this was established? It wasn't Clinton, It wasn't Carter --- drum roll please --- it was Richard Nixon.

1968, LBJ was the President. Nixon was elected. Nixon did not take the office until late January 1969. Nice try to revise history.

Besides the issues went further back than that.

The issue did go further back, I didn't write that Nixon Signed the bill, for a better example of my meaning read:

"The upshot of the Warren controversy was that Nixon undercut Romney and supported the efforts by Warren and other suburbs to exclude subsidized housing for minorities. In
doing so, however, Nixon affirmed the understanding that HUD's obligation was affirmatively to further equal housing opportunity “on a metropolitan areawide basis.

"The President's statement on equal opportunity in housing, issued on June 14, 1971,
stated:

"Based on a careful review of the legislative history of the 1964 and 1968 Civil Rights Acts . . . I interpret the “affirmative action” mandate of the 1968 act to mean that the administrator of a housing program should include, among the various
criteria by which applications for assistance are judged, the extent to which a proposed project, or the overall development plan of which it is a part, will in fact open up new, nonsegregated housing opportunities that will contribute to decreasing the effects of past housing discrimination. . . . [This] does mean that in choosing among the various applications for Federal aid, consideration should be given to their impact on patterns of racial concentration. In furtherance of this policy, . . .[HUD and all] other departments and agencies administering housing programs . . .will administer their programs in a way which will advance equal housing opportunity for people of all income levels on a metropolitan areawide basis."

"Established" (meaning a policy) under Nixon and his appointee Romney. You are correct, LBJ passed the law and my post was misleading but not entirely inaccurate.

Nah, that would have been an honorable thing to do. But he didn't do that. He blamed others instead. It's a pattern of behavior he's exhibited since day one.
