I think you may have forgotten about the Office of Special Plans.

ISIS is to Obama, what Katrina was to Bush. Inexcusable incompetence. In the case of Katrina, at least help eventually came. Obama continues to bury his head in the sand (either in a golf bunker or on the beaches of the Vineyard) when it comes to ISIS, he might as well just say publicly that he's leaving it for the next President to fix. Jimmy Carter 2.0, thinking that a strategy of appeasement will lead to peace.

ISIS turned out pretty formidable for a JV team, no?

You keep trying to blame others. You refuse to hold everyone to the same standards.

Yes, there was book cooking in the Bush admin, but that does not justify nor condone book cooking now.

I never said it did. I simply pointed out that you missed a glaring incident that's a lot more recent than Vietnam, and both where the manipulation was intended to START war rather than "potentially" influence a more passive strategy.

I thought that I read the inspector position reviewing the complaint was created in 2011.
