The finger pointing has started for whom to blame for the loss of Iraq to al Qaeda and the possible formation of the next caliphate. The administration is now blaming the CIA. More misdirection that never stops? I wonder what would have happened if the pResident would have attended his security briefings?
The GITMO scandal, Benghazi coverup, the immigration disaster, the VA administration and any one of multiple state department failures are all signs of a federal government that is imploding. And it will not recover in any form which resembles our intended republic.

CIA Under Fire for Failure in Iraq
The CIA failed to provide adequate warning of the recent Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant military incursion into Iraq despite having a significant presence of agency officers in the country, according to U.S. officials and security analysts.
Critics of the agency said the intelligence failure was made worse by a failure of the Obama administration to recognize the threat posed to the country by the ISIL, which last week renamed itself simply the Islamic State (IS) and declared its captured territory in Syria and Iraq is now a “caliphate.”
The so-called caliphate region is under harsh Islamic law and led by IS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi as its “caliph” or Islamic leader.
Finger-pointing is a hallmark of the WH. Instead of taking ownership of his position the way Reagan did, its all to easy to blame someone else. Anybody disagree with Sebastian Gorka ?
“This administration is ideologically wedded to the narrative that Afghanistan was the ‘good’ war and Iraq the ‘bad’ war since that is the platform that got the president elected originally,” he said. “As a result Iraq, and events occurring inside Iraq, we’re not allowed to be important.”
The elementary source of all our political/economic ineptness comes from our reliance on the modern adoption of pragmatism. This is to say the end justifies the means. As man has rejected God’s ways he has received and will continue to reap nothing but confusion and death. Satan is the destroyer of man.
