| Gen Flynn: 'HRC ignored Intel Community - Only Wanted Happy Talk' |
| 2016-08-29 |
| [Breitbart] NEW YORK CITY, New York -- Retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, who served for more than two years as the director of President Barack Obama’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), leveled explosive charges against the President and his former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in an exclusive hour-long interview with Breitbart News Daily on Friday. Specifically, during an exclusive interview about his book The Field of Fight, Flynn said that Obama and Clinton were not interested in hearing intelligence that did not fit their "happy talk" narrative about the Middle East. In fact, he alleged the administration actively scrubbed training manuals and purged from the military ranks any thinking about the concept of radical Islamism. Flynn argued that this effort by Obama, Clinton and others to reduce the intelligence community to gathering only facts that the senior administration officials wanted to hear--rather than what they needed to hear--helped the enemy fester and grow, while weakening the United States on the world stage. "The administration has basically denied the fact that we have this problem with ’Radical Islamists,’" Flynn said during the interview. "And this is a very vicious, barbaric enemy and I recognize in the book that there is an alliance of countries that are dedicated basically against our way of life and they support different groups in the Islamic movement, principally the Islamic State and formerly Al Qaeda--although Al Qaeda still exists. The administration denied the fact that this even existed and then told those of us in the government to basically excise the phrase ’radical Islamism’ out of our entire culture, out of our training manuals, everything. That was a big argument I had internally and I talked a little bit about it in the Senate testimony that I gave two years back." Later in the interview, Flynn was even more specific, calling out Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for not wanting to hear all the facts about what was happening in the Middle East--only some of them. |

| #5 Would Saul Alinsky see radical Islam as a problem, or a feature? I'm afraid ol' Saul might have colored the worldview of the Happy Talkers. |

| #4 I don't know who he voted for. None of my business. I can however say that, nothing I've seen that he has written or said appears to be anything but entirely accurate. Only my opinion of course. Unfortunately, no one in our feckless congress seems capable or will to 'level explosive charges' against our Kenyan master and his regime. |

| #3 LTG Flynn voted for Obama...twice. And now I am supposed to trust in his judgement and hang on every word he says because he is now mad at Obama for canning him...not a fan. LTG Flynn should go back to Rhode Island and get a real job rather in dabbling in politics... |

| #2 She got that trait from among others the Politburo. 'I only want happy talk' usually leads to collapse. Power centralization has its own penalties. |

| #1 Obama and Clinton were not interested in hearing intelligence that did not fit their "happy talk" narrative They could have spared the world a great deal of misery if they had gotten in touch with Anthony Weiner--he likes somewhat perverted "happy talk." |
