The cia painted a grim picture of the problems we face with isis. Obama says it's under control or "contained"Lie?IOW, the quotes from Obama and Bennan that I posted expose your lie.I quoted Brennan confirming what Obama said, so his "contradiction" is a Limbaugh Lie parroted by a moron who gets his Limbaugh Lies second hand, if he is to be believed. If you noticed the OP posted no quotes!!!!You're ignoring the contradiction he pointed out.
Compare the two for yourself and then please highlight the "contradiction."
OBAMA: ISIL continues to lose ground in Iraq. In the past two months, local forces in Iraq, with coalition support, have liberated the western town of Rutbah and have also pushed up the Euphrates River Valley, liberating the strategic town of Hit and breaking the ISIL siege of Haditha. Iraqi forces have surrounded Fallujah and begun to move into the city. Meanwhile, in the north, Iraqi forces continue to push up the Tigris River Valley, making gains around Makhmour, and now preparing to tighten the noose around ISIL in Mosul. All told, ISIL has now lost nearly half of the populated territory that it once controlled in Iraq -- and it will lose more.
ISIL continues to lose ground in Syria as well. Assisted by our Special Operations Forces, a coalition of local forces is now pressuring the key town of Manbij, which means the noose is tightening around ISIL in Raqqa as well. In short, our coalition continues to be on offense. ISIL is on defense. And it’s now been a full year since ISIL has been able to mount a major successful offensive operation in either Syria or Iraq.
As ISIL continues to lose territory, it also continues to lose the money that is its lifeblood. As a result of our strikes against its oil infrastructure and supply lines, we believe that we’ve cut ISIL’s revenue from oil by millions of dollars per month. In destroying the storage sites where they keep their cash, we’ve deprived ISIL of many millions more.
BRENNAN: On the battlefields of Syria and Iraq, the U.S-led coalition has made important progress against ISIL. The group appears to be a long way from realizing the vision that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi laid out when he declared the “caliphate” two years ago in Mosul.
Several notable indicators are trending in the right direction. ISIL has lost large stretches of territory in both Syria and Iraq. Its finance and media operations have been squeezed. And it has struggled to replenish its ranks of fighters, in part because fewer foreign fighters are traveling to Syria. Moreover, some reports suggest that a growing number of ISIL members are becoming disillusioned with the group and are eager to follow in the footsteps of members who have already defected.
The anti-ISIL Coalition is taking steps to exploit these vulnerabilities. In addition to efforts underway to liberate cities like Fallujah and Manbij, the Coalition is also removing ISIL leaders from the battlefield, thereby reducing the group’s capabilities and its will-to-fight. Last month, for example, a US airstrike killed an influential ISIL leader in Al Anbar.
Too many words, since you are not Steven King no one will read that.
Thank you.
Do you understand how an opinion is formed or what an opinion is? Do you understand that it is possible for your opinion to differ from mine yet neither are necessarily wrong or a lie? Do you understand how incredibly stupid you look right now?
Perhaps you should click on the link I provided. It teaches you THE BASICS of how a NORMAL brain functions. Here it is again. Good luck!

In the title of the thread you claim that the CIA said the opposite of what the president said. So that is not really an opinion but a statement of supposed fact. Which has been debunked by the actual facts of what they really said..
Misrepresenting original facts and then developing an entire and often elaborate false conclusion based on the original misrepresented facts is exactly what ElRushbo does all the time.
Those two positions ARE NOT alike. Taking a few bits and pieces of the full statement do not constitute a summation of that statement.
Your effort is admirable but falls short of reality.
