Sunday on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” Andrea Mitchell said President Barack Obama’s reason for underestimating the threat if ISIS in Iraq was a “farce.”

“The president, to say he didn’t have intelligence — this is not a hard target,” Mitchell said. “This is Irbil. We have people there. The fact is, there was intelligence. To say they are shocked by Peshmerga on Saturday night is a farce, The White House wasn’t listening.”
