`Reports have Centcom cooking ISIS intelligence reports to downplay capabilities....`

[LongTermGuy]

"In the revised documents, the Iraqi Army had not retreated at all. The soldiers had simply “redeployed.”
Such changes are at the heart of an expanding internal Pentagon investigation of Centcom, as Central Command is known, where analysts say that supervisors revised conclusions to mask some of the American military’s failures in training Iraqi troops and beating back the Islamic State.

**The analysts say ...."supervisors were particularly eager" to paint a more optimistic picture of America’s role in the conflict than was warranted."

The present administration is at fault here.

The head of the snake should have been cut off long ago,

He allowed the Junior Varsity to move up to full varsity.

This makes Obama's intention (which he declared publicly, years in advance !!) to withdraw troops from Iraq all the more criminally irresponsible. Surely it strengthens the case for proving that Obama is an enemy to US and the West's interests ?
