Via Allahpundit;
The Pentagon’s inspector general is investigating allegations that military officials have skewed intelligence assessments about the United States-led campaign in Iraq against the Islamic State to provide a more optimistic account of progress, according to several officials familiar with the inquiry.
The investigation began after at least one civilian Defense Intelligence Agency analyst told the authorities that he had evidence that officials at United States Central Command — the military headquarters overseeing the American bombing campaign and other efforts against the Islamic State — were improperly reworking the conclusions of intelligence assessments prepared for policy makers, including President Obama, the government officials said.
Fuller details of the claims were not available, including when the assessments were said to have been altered and who at Central Command, or Centcom, the analyst said was responsible. The officials, speaking only on the condition of anonymity about classified matters, said that the recently opened investigation focused on whether military officials had changed the conclusions of draft intelligence assessments during a review process and then passed them on…
Legitimate differences of opinion are common and encouraged among national security officials, so the inspector general’s investigation is an unusual move and suggests that the allegations go beyond typical intelligence disputes.
To be fair this problem is not unique to President Obama. It afflicts all levels of government, corporations, etc. Everyone likes to hear what they want to hear.
“so the inspector general’s investigation is an unusual move and suggests that the allegations go beyond typical intelligence disputes”
Yup. Like maybe the muzzie-in-chief supports ISIS? And the so called generals on the chief of staff are political whores who will do anything to keep their spot, up to and including treason against their country?
Nah. Couldn’t be. (Bet ya 10 bucks it is.)
“Everyone likes to hear what they want to hear.” So Obama likes others to hear they are doing better than reality, but continue doing badly as long as no one else knows… Sounds right
BTW: If you think you can fake the truth your career will flat line….How do you know what someone wants to hear?
I expect the White House is the source of the order to do this. So then Obomber can, with a straight face, say his policy is a success.
Centcom has been reporting that Steiner will attack soon.

The US is so deeply corrupt/inept, I doubt they could win a war – even against invaders on their own soil.
Don’t think this has gone unnoticed by Americas enemies
Sounds about right and to add it’s only going to get worse before it gets better. Because I’m starting to notice that political correctness and progressive policies. Has made it even harder for national defense agencies in the western world to actually deal with this rise of extremist islam. Which mainly derives from the radical sunni schools of islam like salafism or wahhabism. Which these drives terrorist organizations like isis, jabhat al-nusra or al-shabaab to do horrible acts against their own moderate populations, shia’s or to non muslims.

I have an intense dislike for the “moderate muslims”. why? because there is no such thing. all have to follow the dictates of the koran and the koran is evil personified.
