President Obama Sunday ordered an intelligence review of military reports which may have soft-pedaled the rise of the Islamic State. At a news conference in Malaysia, Obama insisted on his “expectation, which is the highest fidelity to facts, data, the truth.”

The former head of military intelligence fired back Monday. On Fox News’ “The Kelly File,” retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn insisted that the “accuracy and the warnings that have been provided on the rise of radical Islamists over the last few years,” by the Defense Intelligence Agency, which he ran, “have been very, very clear.”
