Did Marie Harf just say that even ISIS underestimated the spread of ISIS?

State Department deputy spokesperson Marie Harf appeared on CNN with Wolf Blitzer Monday afternoon, most likely to help clean up some of the messier statements from President Obama’s “60 Minutes” interview the evening before — for example, the claim that “we” underestimated the growing threat posed by ISIS.

Hot Air associate editor Noah Rothman tweets that Harf backed up the president, saying that not even ISIS saw how fast ISIS was spreading.

So to make Obama's, "JV team" comment seem better, Marie Harf says that even ISIS didn't know how good ISIS was. Wow #muchtrysuchfail

“The Situation Room” with Wolf Blitzer — that’s pretty close.
