that's actually the opposite of what he said.You've gotta love it! Barry chose to believe his own view of the Middle East as opposed to what his military and intelligence advisers were telling him...then he turns around and blames the intelligence community for dropping the ball on ISIS and says the military didn't have any plans in place to deal with ISIS.
This is the kind of leadership that inspires those that work for a President!!! They know that Barack Obama will claim any successes as "his" and that any failures will be blamed on "them".
so, let's pretend that they hadn't been underestimated.
what do you think we would have done differently?
so you support the rule of dictators over the popular revolt of the citizenry?I'd like to know how Obama missed this.

For starters I'd have recommended that Obama stop his assinine regime change program in the Middle East.
It didn't work in Egypt when he handed the country over to the MB. Libya is a dogs breakfast with militias having pool parties at the US Embassy in Tripoli AND his obsession with deposing Assad has given the world ISIS.
Obama is so crazy wild to get Assad gone he's still talking about arming and training freaking moderate rebels more than he already has.
Idiocy. Pure folly. There are no moderate rebels.
The OP about ever being in Iraq.who lied about what?I don't see how this contradicts what Obama said. Them having known successes does not equate to the group we know them as now. Everyone underestimated them. Not just Obama, who again, listened to experts. It's not like he lead the intel initiative. That's not what presidents doYou realize of course that Obama got this false information from American Intel right? He listened to experts.Obama's trying to hang ISIS missteps on the intelligence community, but the IC warned Obama about ISIS a year ago.
Now he's on 60 Minutes admitting his Administration's failure.....after all, Director Clapper is part of HIS Administration..... about a number of missteps including underestimating ISIS and overestimating the Iraqi Army.
But the IC isn't going to put up with allowing Obama to hang that lie around their necks. It was his stupidity, not theirs.

Eye Opener: President Obama admits he underestimated ISIS
I thought Obama got all his information from the media. You know like when he found out about the IRS. Like when he found out about the VA scandal.
How did he miss this? Someone needs get Obama a freaking newspaper so he can stay in the loop. Or better yet a television in his bloody golf cart.
Check the date Obamabot. Oh and apologies in advance. I have no idea how the copy and paste makes the print so big.
They took it over March 2013. al Nusra was in the lead, ISIS tag teamed. Now ISIS is the greater.
The Mysterious Fall of Raqqa, Syria’s Kandahar
A child looks at child look at stand selling military fatigue in the northern rebel-held Syrian city of Raqqa on October 1, 2013 as violence continues to rage in flashpoints around the country. (Photo: AFP - Mohamed Abdul Aziz)
The Euphrates overflows with blood, and the crows caw over the corpses that the Syrian city of Raqqa sacrifices every day to the princes of death in the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and al-Nusra Front, ever since the two al-Qaeda affiliates turned the city into the first official province of their Islamic emirate. The tyranny that people rose up against has now returned, more morbid than before. Today, Raqqa is Syria’s answer to Kandahar – the birthplace of the Taliban.
The opposition Syrian National Coalition has no presence in Raqqa. All mainstream opposition forces left the city months ago because of clashes between the various brigades of the armed opposition. Raqqa is today without a state, and its people grapple with death every day, with no hope in sight for a normal life.
Though activists called for peaceful protests to reject violence, their efforts did not pan out, especially as many activists were arrested. Now, revolutionary action has returned to secrecy and false names, operating mainly through social media.
Eight months have passed since the armed opposition brigades and al-Nusra Front entered Raqqa, at dawn on 2 March 2013.
Since the armed opposition offensive, only three Syrian army bases in the entire governorate have survived: the 17th division, stationed around 1 km north of Raqqa; Tabaqa military airport, 50 km west of the city, along the Raqqa-Aleppo expressway; and the 93rd brigade, stationed 55 km from Raqqa near the town of Ain Issa.

That's really over the line. You are as clueless as anyone could be.He should have known that any army trained by Bush would cut and run.

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?
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.
For Christ sakes, just because they have made a name for themselves it doesn't mean our intel couldn't have underestimated them. I know you cons have trouble with nuance but try and keep up will you?I don't see how this contradicts what Obama said. Them having known successes does not equate to the group we know them as now.

Really now. If the Administration didn't understand the enormous dangers of ISIS why would they have placed such a high bounty on Baghdadi's head?
10 Million buckolas. Second only to Zawahiri.
How would they have not realized that ISIS had taken over major oil fields in Syria?
How would they not have realized that ISIS was governing Raqaa and turning it into the Caliphate?
It was all in the news.
Get the message to the Administration to try freaking GOOGLE like tinydancer does every morning.

Everyone underestimated them. Not just Obama, who again, listened to experts. It's not like he lead the intel initiative. That's not what presidents doYou realize of course that Obama got this false information from American Intel right? He listened to experts.
I thought Obama got all his information from the media. You know like when he found out about the IRS. Like when he found out about the VA scandal.
How did he miss this? Someone needs get Obama a freaking newspaper so he can stay in the loop. Or better yet a television in his bloody golf cart.
Check the date Obamabot. Oh and apologies in advance. I have no idea how the copy and paste makes the print so big.
They took it over March 2013. al Nusra was in the lead, ISIS tag teamed. Now ISIS is the greater.
The Mysterious Fall of Raqqa, Syria’s Kandahar

The Euphrates overflows with blood, and the crows caw over the corpses that the Syrian city of Raqqa sacrifices every day to the princes of death in the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and al-Nusra Front, ever since the two al-Qaeda affiliates turned the city into the first official province of their Islamic emirate. The tyranny that people rose up against has now returned, more morbid than before. Today, Raqqa is Syria’s answer to Kandahar – the birthplace of the Taliban.
The opposition Syrian National Coalition has no presence in Raqqa. All mainstream opposition forces left the city months ago because of clashes between the various brigades of the armed opposition. Raqqa is today without a state, and its people grapple with death every day, with no hope in sight for a normal life.
Though activists called for peaceful protests to reject violence, their efforts did not pan out, especially as many activists were arrested. Now, revolutionary action has returned to secrecy and false names, operating mainly through social media.
Eight months have passed since the armed opposition brigades and al-Nusra Front entered Raqqa, at dawn on 2 March 2013.
Since the armed opposition offensive, only three Syrian army bases in the entire governorate have survived: the 17th division, stationed around 1 km north of Raqqa; Tabaqa military airport, 50 km west of the city, along the Raqqa-Aleppo expressway; and the 93rd brigade, stationed 55 km from Raqqa near the town of Ain Issa.
