Source: Obama given detailed intelligence for a year about rise of ISIS
So? And what is ISIS? In 2004, ISIL was recognized by the State Department as a Foreign Terrorist organization, and nothing was done about it then, and no one on the right stressed about it. In May 2014, ISIS was added by the SD as an alias of ISIL. Basically the group has existed since at least 2004. I don't see why it is more of an imminent threat now than it has been for a decade.

Back in 2004 G.W. Bush was POTUS and Al Qaeda and Islamist radicals were being decimated and were on the run.
Any thing else ?
Yes, in 2004, W. Bush was POTUS; he got distracted from the pursuit of Osama, so what is your proof that Al Qaeda and Islamist radicals were being decimated and on the run during his administration? It seems to me that Obama has utilized drones and gone after Al Qaeda more so than W. Bush.

Incompetence is one thing, it's expected, Obama is nothing more than a community organiser. But dereliction of duty as CnCDereliction of duty falls under United States Code Title 10 § 892. Article 92
"ISIS is JV."
Obama has been informed of ISIS for over a year and he doesn't have a strategy yet to deal with ISIS ?

By 2004 Osama bin Laden was forced into early retirement, he was so hot he had to go into hiding. OBL was a nobody after his assesses were confiscated by the Obama administration, he could no longer finance any more terrorist attacks on America.
The left thought Al Qaeda and the war against terrorism was all about Bin Laden. :lamo
What's even worst is that the left including the Obama administration politicized the war against Al Qaeda and all of it's splinter groups.

He knew ISIS was growing...but did he have foreknowledge of ISIS' offensive into northern Iraq? And in the VERY unlikely event that he did, how exactly is this a dereliction of duty since it does not involve Americans or American soil?
Of course, we DID have a president who was repeatedly warned that a certain terrorist was planning a major attack on American soil and flatly ignored those warnings - "Okay, you've covered your ass" was the quote, but we can never blame things on him, can we?

Heya Glen. :2wave: ISIL was always in Iraq and yes he knew they were growing. Oh and Junior didn't have any specifics like BO had with Benghazi.
According the the military they don't even know if Obama even reads the daily intelligence reports. Obama never commented or asked any questions about ISIS for over a year.
As the article points out, every POTUS before Obama would be personally briefed every morning by a real member of the military. But I suppose Obama dispises the military so much he doesn't even want them personaly briefing him.
Question is, is Obama that incompetent that he can't comprehend what he's reading or is he just derelict in his duties as CnC and not reading the briefings every morning ?
1. ISIL was not "always in Iraq". They formed when the power vacuum formed.
2. I have no problem with him knowing that "they were growing". Do you really expect the president to say, "I hear there's a terrorist group forming in a nation outside our borders - let's bomb them back into the stone age!"
3. Never mind that even the House Intelligence Committee couldn't find that Obama had any specifics about what was going on in Benghazi before it was too late to do anything about it. But I get it - you know better than the House Intelligence Committee....
Yes, they formed in Iraq and continued to Operate there after BO dropped the SOFA.
I am sure they could of come up with some flowery prose to gloss things over with while using clandestine operations to effect impact.
That still doesn't change what the Libyans told us 3 days in advance of the attack. Nor does it count the Z mans Video calling for vengeance of al Libi 3 days prior to the attack and specifically calling on Libyans to do so. Quite Specific, unlike when Junior was at the helm.
1. Before Obama ever took office, Bush had agreed on removing U.S. troops from Iraq...and when Obama was negotiating with Iraq, they refused the SOFA we needed in order to keep Iraqi courts from putting our troops on trial. But I guess Obama's a traitor for not forcing the Iraqis from agreeing to the SOFA we required in order for us to remain there.....
2. And I guess you do indeed know more than the Republican-controlled House investigations who could find NO fault in the Obama administration's response to what was going on in Benghazi. Thou Shalt Hate Obama With All Thine Heart For He Is At Fault For All That Is Wrong, huh?

Another Fox anonymous source story. Go figure.
I'm sure if the officer were to reveal who he was, he would be purged from the military like the other 200 high ranking officers who have already been purged by Obama.

Okay... I guess it's this time:
All because you salivate over an anonymous sourced story written by an extreme political hack organization.
You do know who Catherine Herridge is don't you ?
Before you attack the messenger you should find out who the messenger is.

Isn't a better question how competent he was in not listening to the chickenhawk conservatives in Congress who wanted to send advanced weaponry to the Syrian rebels, aka ISIS
