On CBS's "60 Minutes" Obama said: Our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has acknowledged that, I think, they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria." Obama said ISIS, went underground when U.S. forces fought al Qaeda in Iraq in the last decade.
Ah yes, it was Clapper's fault!! Obama knew nothing of the rise of ISIS. Daily intelligence briefings weren't enough. The capture of Tikrit was not enough. The fall of Fallujah was not enough. The attack on Mosul, not enough!! The city of Qaraqosh, the largest Christian city in Iraq - still, not enough!! And Obama was ignorant of all of it. It was the intelligence community's dereliction.
Obama also admitted that the United States overestimated the willingness of allies, such as Iraq, to join in the fight against ISIS - again, reflecting recent comments by Clapper. This Iraq military is the same one that is intended to be used as the "boots on the ground" in this "non-war." Wonder how many more weapons will be confiscated this time around.
Obama was also unaware of the portent of ISIS - otherwise he would never have defined them as a JV team. (It must have been somebody else who looked like him. RIGHT?)
It was his demeanor in this interview which really disturbed me. There was an arrogance (more than usual) in his bearing, as if he had made the determination that he was bound to have his way, no matter what!!! When he was asked if he thought the Democrats would keep the Senate, he boasted, "Yes," with an attitude of complete confidence. I don't think anyone can be assured of the results of an e******n - there are too many variables - yet Obama's posture suggested someone who glories in his power and knows how to use it. He even had the temerity to say, once again - post American beheadings and the loss of cities to ISIS which our brave soldiers lost life and limbs battling Sunni fighters for - that we are NOT AT WAR WITH ISLAM. This allegiance he has to Islam is getting downright perverse - especially in lieu of the following:
Archbishop Athanasius Toma Dawod of the Syriac Orthodox church said that Isis's capture of Qaraqosh, Iraq's largest Christian city, had marked a turning point for Christians in the country.
"Now we consider it genocide ethnic cleansing," he said. "They are k*****g our people in the name of Allah and telling people that anyone who k**ls a Christian will go straight to heaven: that is their message. They have burned churches; they have burned very old books. They have damaged our crosses and statues of the Virgin Mary. They are occupying our churches and converting them into mosques."
And despite his constant defense of Islam, there is still NOTHING FROM OBAMA ABOUT THE MASSACRE OF CHRISTIANS - I guess they're just not important to him - even though he professes to BE one. His Islamic partiality, considering what is now happening in the world, is not only blatantly obvious, but pernicious and dangerous as well.
