Quote:Yet a growing group of intelligence analysts persisted with their complaints. For some, who have served at CENTCOM for more than a decade, scars remained from the run-up to the 2003 war in Iraq, when poorly written intelligence reports suggesting Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, when it did not, formed the basis of the George W. Bush administration’s case for war.
“They were frustrated because they didn’t do the right thing then” and speak up about their doubts on Iraq’s weapons program, the defense official told The Daily Beast.

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
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.

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.
