CENTCOM Altered Intel to Make Obama’s War Against Islamic State Look Better

Breitbart:

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A congressional task force created by three Republican-led House panels has confirmed allegations that senior U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) leaders manipulated intelligence assessments in 2014 and 2015 to make it appear that President Barack Obama is winning the war against the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL).

 

CENTCOM is in charge of the U.S.-led war against ISIS.

 

The GOP congressional task force was established in December 2015 by the Chairmen of the House Armed Services Committee, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense.

 

Top Republican House lawmakers joined forces to investigate whistleblower allegations that CENTCOM officers were distorting ISIS intelligence assessments to make Obama’s efforts against the jihadi group look better than the realities on the ground dictated at the time.

 

The House joint task force (JTF) released the initial report of its investigation on Thursday, noting that it details “persistent problems in 2014 and 2015 with CENTCOM analysis of U.S. efforts to train the Iraqi Security Forces and combat the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.”
