Not the first time this accusation has been made down at Centcom. Intel reports were "amended" in 2007 in Iraq and frequently during Afghanistan. Petraeus the SOB

Doesn't matter wether it's now or 2003 it's still major issue. There should be repercussions if there is changing or stifling Intel reports

Funny the war on ISIS slows down while Giving the Iranian Jihadists billions of dollars and Greenlight for a Nuclear weapon in 10 years or less. Great Job Obama . May Your Brilliant Legacy Endure, hoping there will be anything left in 11 years .

6 1/2 years into the Obama regime and we still get "But Bush..." excuses from the leftists.
It's not like there is anything about O they can brag about. Nevertheless, we need our intel to be good in any case. It will never be perfect though.

Who is they? And if you want me to brag about all of Obama's accomplishments, I can certainly do that.
Consecutive job growth months, unemployment rate, doubled stock market, cheap gas, Iran deal, ACA, ending two wars, Bin Laden death...I could go on for quite a bit longer if you'd like.

Because you are a well known Obama water carrier, instead of calling out what has been done as unacceptable, you played the "but Bush" card.
We are almost 7 years into your hero's regime. You will never mentally make him own any of his blundering. Period. It's well known by all here.

Funny you should mention that, but a strong Iran is actually just about the best thing right now to stop ISIS. ISIS is a direct result of Iran's long sworn enemy, Iraq, losing its power thanks to us. They were created as a result of the government and military that we disbanded in Iraq with no plan for a replacement. That is squarely at the feet of the W administration. If you don't believe that, listen to Dick from 1994. It's about the only thing he has ever said that was right.

I'll give you that O gave the go ahead to the Seals to get Obama. That's about it though. The jury is still out on everything else and the actual long term impacts of said decisions.
