CIA Director John Brennan: Failure To Comprehend

Headline:
Obama Adviser: Jihadists' Caliphate 'Absurd'

"June 29, 2011:
“Our strategy is…shaped by a deeper understanding of al Qaeda’s goals, strategy, and tactics,” Brennan claimed. “I’m not talking about al Qaeda’s grandiose vision of global domination through a violent Islamic caliphate. That vision is absurd, and we are not going to organize our counterterrorism policies against a feckless delusion that is never going to happen. We are not going to elevate these thugs and their murderous aspirations into something larger than they are.”"

June 29, 2014:
"the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) announced that it now ruled large swaths of Iraq and Syria as a caliphate."
The Weekly Standard
Failure after failure after failure in the Obama Leftist "Smart Power" Government. It might have been smart to stay on top of this, instead of deny it outright.
