Following shocking revelations that the Obama administration covered up both key intelligence on ISIS and the effectiveness of the US-led airstrikes against the group, more damning information has come to light this week on the stability of the region.
Reports surfaced earlier this week that Obama administration officials have repeatedly changed intelligence reports on ISIS to make it appear like America’s efforts to defeat the terror group are succeeding. But top defense analysts have revealed a truth that most Americans aren’t hearing: ISIS may have permanently destabilized the Middle East, and more terror and bloodshed could be ahead.
The head of the Defense Intelligence Agency said Thursday, in a frank assessment that is at odds with Obama administration policy, that Iraq and Syria may have been permanently torn apart by the war with ISIS.
This means the flood of refugees coming to Europe and America isn’t going to stop any time soon. And ISIS is claiming it has hidden “thousands” of operatives among the migrants.
“I’m having a tough time seeing it come back together,” Lt. Gen. Vincent Stewart told an industry conference, speaking of Iraq and Syria, both of which have seen large chunks territory seized by ISIS.
On Iraq, Stewart said he is “wrestling with the idea that the Kurds will come back to a central government of Iraq,” suggesting he believed it was unlikely. On Syria, he added: “I can see a time in the future where Syria is fractured into two or three parts.”
That is not the U.S. goal, he said, but it’s looking increasingly likely.
CIA Director John Brennan, speaking on the same panel at an industry conference, noted that the countries’ borders remain in place, but the governments have lost control of them. A self-declared caliphate by ISIS straddles the border between both countries.
Iraqis and Syrians now more often identify themselves by tribe or religious sect, rather than by their nationality, he said.
“I think the Middle East is going to be seeing change over the coming decade or two that is going to make it look unlike it did,” Brennan said.
The Obama administration’s official policy is that Iraq and Syria remain internationally recognized nation states. Administration officials, for example, have fought against calls to send arms directly to the Kurds, who have been America’s most loyal ally in the region. The administration has insisted that arms for the Kurds be routed through the Obama-friendly government in Baghdad.
In Syria, the Assad government is hanging on with increasing support from Russia, leaving the country divided among government, rebel-held, and ISIS territory.

How to you tell when Obama is lying? (It’s when his lips move)
But, the voters who put him in the first and second times are responsible for their own stupidity. As Einstein said, “The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has limits.”
He wouldn’t know the truth if it hit him in the face.
IMO the air attacks on ISIS have been mostly practice runs on empty desert dunes. Presumably a recent attack was made on a truck factory and destroyed it. Probably after all personnel and useful stuff inside had been removed. Makes one think of how Russia dismantled factories in Eastern Europe after WWII and moved them to Russia. Govt’s are a collection of people and are quite capable of deception and/or evil. The quality of the people that govern controls the quality of the output of govt for the people. Things like the Constitution do not improve the quality of the elected people. But which we the people have been lulled into thinking was part of Constitutional govt? Long before us the Jews fell into same type of trap when they went with kings for a form of govt. Some were good, some were not. In history there have been far, far more episodes of bad, oppressive govt then there have been of a govt for the people. And ours now seems pretty shaky? Too many civil rights handed out as patronage.
And then I was under the impression we had majority rule, but the minority was able to stop a vote on the iran rotten for America deal, etc.. How did congress commit majority rule suicide for itself? Was it Bush’s fault, or was it O and the muslim WH’s fault? In any case it was no accident. It was a deliberate act by someone to “keep the power baby” even when they were not the majority?
This is the perfect website for anybody who really wants to find out
about this topic. You know a whole lot its almost hard to argue with you
(not that I personally would want to…HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a subject that’s been written about for ages.
Wonderful stuff, just wonderful!
The truth not revealed by the Horn article is that elements of ISIS(or “ISIL,” if you’re a D’ohbamabot) were trained, funded, and supplied with war materiel by agents of the USG.
Hmm….
The only crime defined in the Constitution is that of treason:
“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.”
Is ISIS an enemy of the US? If so, then giving any of them any kind of aid whatsoever clearly fits the definition above…or even directing that someone else give them aid, e.g. “giving” foreign aid to, say, Turkey, with any part of that aid earmarked for the ISIS nutjobs.
Here are links to articles where various people admit to the US involvement in creating ISIS:

Do i expect treason prosecutions to ensue? Not now, and maybe not ever.
What i hope to happen is that gov’t agents are as routinely arrested, tried, and convicted as are perjurers, and for the same exact reason: lying under oath. Oathbreakers need to be removed from the USG, by civilian Grand Juries, if need be. That will be the only peaceful way, short of an actual armed revolution, that will ensure justice is done, and criminal oathbreakers removed from any and all positions of public trust.
Speaking of armed revolution, be EXTREMELY WARY of signing up for any movement trying to do so; more likely than not, they will be part of a huge “sting” operation whose entire purpose is to initiate a false flag so that all gun owners can be rounded up.
