Obama's Islamic State Blame Game
President
Barack Obama took a shot at the U.S. intelligence community Sunday
night when he told CBS News "60 Minutes" that America's spies had "underestimated"
the rise of the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. It wasn't an entirely
inaccurate statement, and as Obama himself noted, his own intelligence
chief had made the same point a few weeks ago. But come Monday, U.S.
spies were complaining the president had "thrown us under the bus," as
one former official put it, by trying to shift the blame for a foreign
policy crisis away from the White House and towards the nation's
beleaguered intelligence community.
The nation's spies feel that the president is throwing them under the bus -- again.
