State’s Marie Harf: ISIS couldn’t even have predicted how powerful ISIS would become « Hot Air

State’s Marie Harf: ISIS couldn’t even have predicted how powerful ISIS would become « Hot Air: "How much damage could the president have avoided doing to his administration if he had just said, “I underestimated ISIS and I overestimated the Iraqis.” His critics would have had a field day with it for 48 hours, but the media would have quickly moved on to another story. It would have disappeared in short order. Now, the intelligence community is out for blood, and the president has sparked a bureaucratic war inside the Beltway. Much like his response to ISIS, Obama’s underestimation of the intelligence community will likely prove to be shortsighted."
