President Obama sat down for an interview on “60 Minutes” on Sunday and discussed, among other things, the current crisis in the Middle East surrounding the rise of the ISIS terrorist army. The president noted comments by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper that the intelligence community not only underestimated the threat posed by ISIS but overestimated the strength of the Iraqi Army to oppose the terrorists. According to the Daily Beast, this statement has angered some in the intelligence and defense communities.

An unnamed “senior Pentagon official” is quoted as saying, ““Either the president doesn’t read the intelligence he’s getting or he’s b---s------.” A number of intelligence officials are on record as warning about the rise of ISIS as early as January and February in testimony before the Senate and House Intelligence Committees. Around the same time, Obama was sneering that ISIS was the Al Qaeda “junior varsity team.”

The president seems to be displaying two traits that have tainted his administration’s approach to foreign policy. He has been inattentive to foreign threats. When such threats rise to bite the country, he has displayed a tendency to try to shift blame. President Obama has seen a number of foreign policy failures on his watch. He has taken responsibility for none of them.
Benghazi was a classic example. Congressional investigators have found numerous occasions of the Obama administration ignoring the security threat against American diplomats in Libya. When terrorists murdered four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, the administration tried to blame the producers of an obscure anti-Islamic video for provoking the massacre.

The president’s remarks on ’60 Minutes” are likely to result in bureaucratic infighting and finger pointing. When the inevitable congressional oversight hearings begin, the administration will attempt a cover up the failures that led up to the rise of ISIS. Sadly, it is part of the pattern that will likely repeat if and when the current strategy for fighting the terrorist army starts to unravel.
