“EITHER THE PRESIDENT DOESN’T READ THE INTELLIGENCE HE’S GETTING, OR HE’S BULLSHITTING…” — SENIOR PENTAGON OFFICIAL I SAY BOTH! Business Insider reports: Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who recently left his position as the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, warned about the group back in February, when he testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee. That was four months before ISIS sweeping offensive in northern Iraq led to massive gains in the country. ISIS probably will attempt to take territory in Iraq and Syria to exhibit its strength in 2014, Flynn said, adding it would be helped by its ability to concurrently maintain multiple safe havens in Syria.” But American spies, experts, and journalists who have been watching the progress of ISIS, the extremist offshoot of Al Qaeda, immediately pushed back against the presidents assessment. Either the president doesn’t read the intelligence he’s getting, or he’s bullshitting, one former senior Pentagon official who worked closely on the threat posed by Sunni jihadists in Syria and Iraq told Eli Lake of The Daily Beast. REMEMBER OBAMA’S WORDS BEFORE HIS MARTHA’S VINEYARD TRIP? “DON’T BOTHER ME WITH THIS SH**!” “UPDATE SUSAN, OR TAKE IT TO DENIS!” “YOU KNOW THE DRILL!”
