Officials familiar with the situation are faulting the CIA’s lack of intelligence on Iraq in the lead-up to the ISIS offensive, saying the agency let most of its huge spy network rot on the vine after the occupation ended.
With no ground troops to back them up, the large CIA presence in Iraq mostly wound up hanging out in the Baghdad embassy, reluctant to go anywhere without protection.
The CIA defended its spy network, insisting anyone who was really familiar with the intelligence the CIA had produced on Iraq wouldn’t have been surprised by what ISIS had done.
Other officials, keen to shift the blame overseas, are faulting Iraqi PM Nouri al-Maliki, saying he had compromised a number of CIA spies over the years. They implied Iran had something to do with this.
Excellent Hollywood story tellers joint CIA and hires NGOs and media to spread the "news" "CIA’s lack of intelligence on Iraq". It looks so convincing and trustful to confess faults, so that nobody would regard this as a lie.
However, informed people know that US/UK/Saudis have created Al Qaeda/ISIS&Co., do control, them, train them, pay them, arm them, and do conduct any single attack by their "non-lethal communication means" i.e. command&control laptops and satellite phones.
Since also the aimed future new map of the middle east is already known, it is very funny to see how they do come closer to fullfill their plan, but publicly presenting a completely different story like this one here.
And possibly even
USA is really the most advanced imperialistic propaganda machine
Well, as everyone knows, there has to be a scapegoat for the failures. The CIA are convenient and well used as scapegoats in the past so…I'm surprised that they haven't put the actual fault at the feet of the adulterer Patreaus…you know, fiddlin' around with his biographer while Baghdad burns…oh, wait, he's a Hero…
Well, there you are…
