TYT: Khorasan Doesn't Exist, They Never Did, You've Been Lied To

Published on Sept 29, 2014

"As the Obama Administration prepared to bomb Syria without congressional or U.N. authorization, it faced two problems. The first was the difficulty of sustaining public support for a new years-long war against ISIS, a group that clearly posed no imminent threat to the “homeland.” A second was the lack of legal justification for launching a new bombing campaign with no viable claim of self-defense or U.N. approval.

The solution to both problems was found in the wholesale concoction of a brand new terror threat that was branded "The Khorasan Group." After spending weeks depicting ISIS as an unprecedented threat -�� too radical even for Al Qaeda! - administration officials suddenly began spoon-feeding their favorite media organizations and national security journalists tales of a secret group that was even scarier and more threatening than ISIS, one that posed a direct and immediate threat to the American Homeland. Seemingly out of nowhere, a new terror group was created in media lore."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

So really what the Obama administration is attempting to replicate badly is the old Abbott and Costello who's on first routine. Now that sketch is comical even today and the Obama administration does provide a good laugh and humor not to us, but to our Islamo-fascist and jiahdist enemy.

You see, Obama can't bring himself to admit he was wrong the essence of a self-absorbed narcissist and even worse, his loyal kool-aid drinking acolytes can't either. Obama declared two years ago that Osama bin Laden is dead and al-Qaida has been decimated and on the run. Well, as ESPN College Gameday commentator Lee Corso would say, Not so fast my friend with his trusted pencil. What was once al-Qaida in Iraq is indeed now ISIS. And the group Jabhat al-Nusra was created in Syria and is the representation of al-Qaida in Syria. So the Obama administration has basically created a new boogeyman to deceive the American people from understanding that al-Qaida is thriving clearly not decimated.

So you have to ask, who is the mastermind behind the scenes creating the deception? Valerie Jarrett? David Axelrod? Maybe we'll soon have Steven Spielberg playing Dustin Hoffman's character played in Wag the Dog.

A new Government Accountability Institute (GAI)report reveals that President Barack Obama has attended only 42.1% of his daily intelligence briefings (known officially as the Presidential Daily Brief, or PDB) in the 2,079 days of his presidency through September 29, 2014.
The GAI report also included a breakdown of Obama's PDB attendance record between terms; he attended 42.4% of his PDBs in his first term and 41.3% in his second.
The GAI's alarming findings come on the heels of Obama's 60 Minutes comments on Sunday, wherein the president laid the blame for the Islamic State's (ISIS) rapid rise squarely at the feet of his Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
I think our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has acknowledged that I think they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria, said Obama.
According to Daily Beast reporter Eli Lake, members of the Defense establishment were flabbergasted by Obama's attempt to shift blame.
Either the president doesn't read the intelligence he's getting or he's bullshitting, a former senior Pentagon official who worked closely on the threat posed by Sunni jihadists in Syria and Iraq told the Daily Beast.
On Monday, others in the intelligence community similarly blasted Obama and said he's shown longstanding disinterest in receiving live, in-person PDBs that allow the Commander-in-Chief the chance for critical followup, feedback, questions, and the challenging of flawed intelligence assumptions.
It's pretty well-known that the president hasnt taken in-person intelligence briefings with any regularity since the early days of 2009, an Obama national security staffer told the Daily Mail on Monday. He gets them in writing.
The Obama security staffer said the president's PDBs have contained detailed threat warnings about the Islamic State dating back to before the 2012 presidential election.
Unless someone very senior has been shredding the president's daily briefings and telling him that the dog ate them, highly accurate predictions about ISIL have been showing up in the Oval Office since before the 2012 election, the Obama security staffer told the Daily Mail.

This is not the first time questions have been raised about Obama's lack of engagement and interest in receiving in-person daily intelligence briefings. On September 10, 2012, the GAI released a similar report showing that Obama had attended less than half (43.8%) of his daily intelligence briefings up to that point. When Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen mentioned the GAI’s findings in his column, then-White House Press SecretaryJay Carney dubbed the findings hilarious. The very next day, U.S. Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens and three American staff members were murdered in Benghazi. As Breitbart News reported at the time, the White House's very own presidential calendar revealed Obama had not received his daily intel briefing in the five consecutive days leading up to the Benghazi attacks.
Ultimately, as ABC News reported, the White House did not directly dispute the GAI's numbers but instead said Obama prefers to read his PDB on his iPad instead of receiving the all-important live, in-person briefings.
Now, with ISIS controlling over 35,000 square miles of territory in its widening caliphate in Iraq and Syria, and with Obama pointing fingers at his own Director of National Intelligence James Clapper for the rise of ISIS, the question remains whether a 42% attendance record on daily intelligence briefings is good enough for most Americans.
