Faux, in it's 24/7 mission to discredit/undermine Obama recently posted headlines:
WEST POINT STUDY: ISIS Steadily Strengthening For The Past Four Years
Of course when we read "Westpoint", we all think of the military school, right?
Well read on for Fauxs' source.
The report, obtained in advance by Fox News, was published by the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, an independent, privately funded research group. It was written by Michael Knights, with The Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
Is Faux stooping to a play on words of "Westpoint". :rolleyes :lol

Think as you wish. The ignorant libtards well follow you and this thread will grow with hate and ignorance from the left.

So who privately funds The WA Institute......?
"It was written by Michael Knights, with The Washington Institute for Near East Policy."
So i guess Faux, Mild Troll Bra and Tesha Blew were calling out the ISIS threat 4 years ago, right?

On the op i asked IF Faux was stooping to this level.
Did i imply they were? Oh sure.
Is there indeed a privately funded Westpoint that is part of the Military school? Yes appears so with El Nonos wiki link.
Was my suggestion that Faux, in using a potentially bogus word play in their endless Obama witch hunt wrong? Yes.
Fap on.

I'm still not clear on this "private funding" for gov't institution Westpoint.
Gov't institutions are run by tax dollars, at least in theory.
So Dems and Pubs alike can fund a study and thus get the study to say what they want it to?
