The false manipulated intel might explain the very poor remarks Obama made about ISIS being a 'JV Team' and saying they were "contained" only for days later, carry out an attack on France.

Unbelievable, as something as serious as ISIS, a worldwide terrorist group, and someone thought it better to be wary of the political implications rather than the safety of our soldiers in the field, not to mention our National Security as a whole.
And for what?
To pacify Obama?
Giving him falsified intel of what was really going on, just to pretend to make the U.S. look good?
When in reality, we are looking like fools. smh.
Someone's azz needs to get in trouble for this IMO, and not just shuffled to another department as this administration is known for.
Still trying to see if MSM is reporting this other than the conservative networks.
Looks like they are still harping on Trump, which is nothing compared to this asinine dangerous shit!!
Quote:More than 50 intelligence analysts working out of the U.S. military’s Central Command have formally complained that their reports on ISIS and al Qaeda’s branch in Syria were being inappropriately altered by senior officials, The Daily Beast has learned.
The complaints spurred the Pentagon’s inspector general to open an investigation into the alleged manipulation of intelligence. The fact that so many people complained suggests there are deep-rooted, systemic problems in how the U.S. military command charged with the war against the self-proclaimed Islamic State assesses intelligence.
“The cancer was within the senior level of the intelligence command,” one defense official said.
Two senior analysts at CENTCOM signed a written complaint sent to the Defense Department inspector general in July alleging that the reports, some of which were briefed to President Obama, portrayed the terror groups as weaker than the analysts believe they are. The reports were changed by CENTCOM higher-ups to adhere to the administration’s public line that the U.S. is winning the battle against ISIS and al Nusra, al Qaeda’s branch in Syria, the analysts claim.
That complaint was supported by 50 other analysts, some of whom have complained about politicizing of intelligence reports for months. That’s according to 11 individuals who are knowledgeable about the details of the report and who spoke to The Daily Beast on condition of anonymity.
The accusations suggest that a large number of people tracking the inner workings of the terror groups think that their reports are being manipulated to fit a public narrative. The allegations echoed charges that political appointees and senior officials cherry-picked intelligence about Iraq’s supposed weapons program in 2002 and 2003.
