James Clapper came out and said we underestimated the threat before the interview yesterday. He said he personally didn't think ISIS would fight as hard and he didn't think the Iraqi army would fold. Obama didn't blame throw Clapper under the bus as much as he was referencing his public comments.

The Fox piece tried to make it sound like we could have been bombing 18 months ago without any recognition that the situation 18 months ago would have made bombing quite problematic. I would assume we'd have military plans ready to go. Hell, we should have plans ready for just about any contingency. That doesn't mean you can just do whatever you want.

He also didn't throw the Ferguson cop under the bus...he just said we have our own problems at home. Regardless for the justification for the killing how the police and people responded certainly shows things are pretty screwed up.
