Former CIA Director: Obama Forced Out Intel Chief Who Warned About Weak Iraqi Army
Wednesday on Newsmax TV's “The Steve Malzberg Show,” President Bill Clinton's former director of the CIA James Woolsey said President Barack Obama's attempt to blame poor intelligence is getting “less and less true” as he pointed to the forced resignation of the Head of [Defense Intelligence Agency] Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn who was “making it very clear he was very worried about the stability of the Iraqi army.”
Phi Beta Iota: General Flynn was the last honest senior intelligence officer. While DNI Clapper has recently shown some signs of integrity, by and large Obama has no one really able or ready to tell him the truth, nor does Obama (or Hagel, or Kerry) want the truth — they have sold out to Saudi Arabia and are throwing the US military and US public interests under the bus.
