Why Would Obama Ignore ISIS Threat? Did He Want It To Grow In Strength?

UNREAL: Obama KNEW of “Islamic State” Threat for a Whole YEAR [DETAILS]

Remember how everyone thought that President Barack Obama’s comparison earlier this year of the terror group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria to a “JV” basketball team with NBA aspirations was a sure sign of this president’s incompetence?

Turns out we were wrong. It was a sign of his dishonesty.

President Obama’s willingness to lie to the American people has by now been exceedingly well documented. He has lied about the Benghazi terror attacks of September 11, 2012, in order to preserve his election year narrative that he had Islamic terrorism “on the run.” He has lied aboutnot being responsible for the premature withdrawal of American military forces from Iraq beginning in 2009. He has lied about the Bowe Bergdahl trade for five Taliban terrorists, the crisis of illegal immigration, and, of course, that little issue of being able to keep your own doctor and health plan.

Is anyone surprised that President Barack Obama would lie about the Islamic State?

According to a report from Newsmax, that’s exactly what he must have done, because he’d been briefed on the rise of the ISIS threat for months before he was asked about it in that now famous New Yorker interview in January of this year.

The report says that Obama received “a sophisticated daily intelligence briefing about the rise of the Islamic State,” for at least a year before ISIS started making major headlines with its conquests in Iraq. That means he had received well over 100 such briefings, perhaps twice that many, before making the JV comparison in January.

The report cites an anonymous “former Pentagon official” as describing the information provided to the president as both “strong” and “granular.”

In fact, the Pentagon was ready to make military strikes against hundreds of targets, should the president have ordered it. Obviously, that never happened, and the ISIS threat was allowed to grow unchecked.

The question is, why? Why would the president not only ignore the threat, but also lie about it, claiming both that intelligence coming out of the Middle East was of poor quality and that the group had only started to gather strength relatively recently?

Perhaps it was simply to avoid coming to terms with the fact that his withdrawal from Iraq had been a terrible decision. Perhaps he considers radical Islam less of a threat that it has demonstrated itself to be.

Or perhaps he knows that if the American people knew the truth about his beliefs and their impact on foreign policy and America’s security, they would demand his immediate resignation from office.
