Republicans and Democrats Agree: CENTCOM Cooked ISIS War Intel
Two new congressional reports conclude senior military officials skewed information about the war to make it look like it was going better. The unanswered question is why.
Senior officials at U.S. Central Command manipulated intelligence reports, press statements, and congressional testimony to present a more positive outlook on the war against the so-called Islamic State, a House Republican task force concluded in a damning report released Thursday.
The report, written by the members of the House Armed Services and Intelligence committees and the Defense Appropriations subcommittee, confirmed more than a year of reporting by The Daily Beast about problems with CENTCOM analysis of the war against ISIS.

Blog: Congress still doesn't know why CENTCOM cooked the books in ISIS intel
"The altering of intelligence reports, which included information that made its way into briefings to President Obama, was systematic, lawmakers found."
His excuse was he hardly bothered to go to his intelligence briefings anyway, opining his superior Lincolnesque intelligence would allow to surmise the facts on the ground telepathically.
Obama missed the five daily briefings up to the 201l 9/11 attacks on Benghazi. The truth is these doctored reports, which no way the military cooked on their own volition (if you believe that then lone wolves must never have any human direction), invaded Obama's thinking as he relentlessly contradicted the experts' testimony that ISIS was becoming more dangerous.
In the false reality of narcissistic progressives (redundant terms?), inconvenient truths and facts can be repressed until an alternative reality is developed, always, always, ignoring their conduct and blaming problems on underlings, like the Chief of Intelligence and no doubt soon the military brass.
Meanwhile, Hillary blames the State Dept, whom she defied by refusing to take any security training for her or her staff (extreme carelessness upped to negligence?), with her consiglieri lawyer Cheryl Mills always available to claim privilege.
She should brush up her privilege - if she was discussion illegal activity such as influence peddling and co-mingling US business with foreigners - it's gone and so is her law career and possibly her freedom.
Mills can be sure Hillary will let her take the bullet every time as she assigns blame wherever her perp mind on obfuscation and privilege can take it.
