Iran, Hezbollah Removed From Terror Threat Report As Obama Negotiates Nuclear Deal
2015-03-18
[DailyCaller] President Barack Obama
If you like your coverage you can keep it...
's appointees have airbrushed Iran out of the terror section of the 2015 annual report on national security threats, just as he tries to negotiate a nuclear weapons deal with Iran's theocratic leaders.

The 2015 "Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community" excludes Iran and its network of jihadi groups who are motivated by Islam's Shia sect, from the report's terror section.

Instead, the assessment focuses entirely jihadis motivated by the Sunni sect of Islam, including those in al-Qaeda and ISIS, sometimes known as the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
"Sunni violent snuffies are gaining momentum and the number of Sunni violent Death Eater groups, members, and safe havens is greater than at any other point in history," the report admits.

That's a big shift from the 2014 report, when Iran's network of jihadis -- chiefly, the Hezbollah army in Leb -- got their own subsection.
