I learned that in about 15 months I’ll be able to tell you a story about how the Obama Administration ignored intelligence about the threat by ISIS. I’ll be able to tell you that for 5 years the Obama Administration referred to ISIS as the “JV Team”.Glenn Quagmire said:
I’ll be able to tell you that in spite of the intelligence that suggested ISIS was gaining ground in the Middle East, downed a Russian Airbus, bombed Beirut and Baghdad and committed the biggest terror attack on Paris since WWII, Obama announces that ISIS is “contained”.
I’ll be able to tell you that during the Democratic Debates the candidates were very uncomfortable discussing their foreign policy details, going as far as blame the raise of ISIS on Climate Change.
I’ll also be able to tell you that despite the fact that some of the ISIS terrorist that attacked Paris gained access by disguising themselves as Syrian refugees, the Administration elected to invite 65K Syrian refugees to the US. I can also add that some of the Paris terrorists were French Nationals with passports that gave them easy access into America.

"Tenet vividly recalls the White House meeting with Rice and her team. (George W. Bush was on a trip to Boston.) Rich [Blee] started by saying, There will be significant terrorist attacks against the United States in the coming weeks or months. The attacks will be spectacular. They may be multiple. Al Qaeda's intention is the destruction of the United States." [Condi said:] What do you think we need to do? Black responded by slamming his fist on the table, and saying, We need to go on a wartime footing now!
What happened? I ask Cofer Black. Yeah. What did happen? he replies. To me it remains incomprehensible still. I mean, how is it that you could warn senior people so many times and nothing actually happened? Its kind of like The Twilight Zone.
Remarkably, in her memoir, Condi Rice writes of the July 10 warnings: My recollection of the meeting is not very crisp because we were discussing the threat every day. Having raised threat levels for U.S. personnel overseas, she adds: I thought we were doing what needed to be done. (When I asked whether she had any further response to the comments that Tenet, Black and others made to me, her chief of staff said she stands by the account in her memoir.) Inexplicably, although Tenet brought up this meeting in his closed-door testimony before the 9/11 Commission, it was never mentioned in the committees final report."

According to a new Showtime documentary, President George W. Bush was warned about possible terrorist attacks earlier than originally thought.
Former officials from the George W. Bush administration imply the president was seriously warned of terrorist attacks even earlier than originally thought.
The revelations stem from an upcoming Showtime documentary, "The Spymasters," about the CIA that airs at the end of November. (Video via Showtime / 'The Spymasters')
"The United States was going to be struck. Struck hard and Americans were going to die. This country's got to go on a war footing now," Cofer Black, former Counterterrorism Center director says in a trailer for the documentary.

Bill Crinton:
“People can quarrel with whether we should have more troops in Afghanistan or internationalize Iraq or whatever, but it is incontestable that on the day I left office, there were unaccounted for stocks of biological and chemical weapons.”
Crinton lied?
