House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers Intel Officials Warned Obama About ISIS “For Over A Year”
The Hill
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) said the intelligence community had warned President Obama about the threat from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria for “over a year.”
“This was not an Intelligence Community failure, but a failure by policy makers to confront the threat,” Rogers said in a statement Monday.
His statement comes after the president said that intelligence officers had underestimated ISIS in an interview that aired on “60 Minutes” Sunday.
“For over a year, U.S. intelligence agencies specifically warned that ISIL was taking advantage of the situation in Syria to recruit members and provoke violence that could spill into Iraq and the rest of the region,” Rogers said in a statement on Monday, using an alternate name for the group.
Rogers said his committee had formally pressed the administration to act against the terror threat in 2013.

Good for Rogers for speaking up. My guess is he too is fed up with Obama and his continues lies and trying to blame others. .
