The House intelligence committee just accused the Pentagon of a cover-up, and this may turn into the first major scandal in the War on ISIS.

Committee Chairman Devin Nunes of California blasted the Pentagon, citing the allegations that classified intelligence files and emails about the war on ISIS were deleted.
"We have been made aware that both files and emails have been deleted by personnel at CENTCOM, and we expect that the Department of Defense will provide these and all other relevant documents to the committee," Nunes said at a hearing Thursday on worldwide threats...
Nunes' assertions led to an extraordinary public acknowledgment from Lt. Gen. Vincent Stewart, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, who was testifying before the committee, of the "unusually high" dissatisfaction inside the agency responsible for providing military intelligence on ISIS.

The Defense Department Inspector General investigation is already investigating allegations that military intelligence was skewed to show positive results in the war.
If this sounds suspiciously like Vietnam in 1967 and Iraq in 2003, it's because it is a lot like it. Democratic administration. Republican administration. When it comes to war there doesn't seem to be much difference in regards to slanting intelligence.

So what sort of slanting are we talking about? Something like this.

When Islamic State fighters overran a string of Iraqi cities last year, analysts at United States Central Command wrote classified assessments for military intelligence officials and policy makers that documented the humiliating retreat of the Iraqi Army. But before the assessments were final, former intelligence officials said, the analysts’ superiors made significant changes.
In the revised documents, the Iraqi Army had not retreated at all. The soldiers had simply “redeployed.”

That redeployment involved tens of thousands of soldiers throwing away their guns, taking off their uniforms, and running for their lives. The Iraqi Army has still not recovered from this epic collapse nearly two years later.
Fortunately, Pentagon whistleblowers came forward with documents and evidence of this naked deception.

“The cancer was within the senior level of the intelligence command,” one defense official said.
Two senior analysts at CENTCOM signed a written complaint sent to the Defense Department inspector general in July alleging that the reports, some of which were briefed to President Obama, portrayed the terror groups as weaker than the analysts believe they are. The reports were changed by CENTCOM higher-ups to adhere to the administration’s public line that the U.S. is winning the battle against ISIS and al Nusra, al Qaeda’s branch in Syria, the analysts claim.
That complaint was supported by 50 other analysts, some of whom have complained about politicizing of intelligence reports for months.

I seriously doubt that Obama was even aware of this deception, but someone in the administration was, and that someone needs to lose their job.
Wikipedia is calling it Intelgate.

Fortunately for the Obama administration, it finally appears that ISIS is on the ropes. If it wasn't for the fact that Baghdad is also on the ropes, it would be possible to end ISIS this year. They are like two punched out boxers in the ring, neither having enough strength to deliver one last blow and end the fight.
