Nothing sells like corpses. Am I right, guys? High five!
More and more attacks just prove that Trump is right. And Obama is doing nothing about it...natter of fact, HE is probably doing the high five right now, not the US citizens.
The people speaking here are THRILLED. You can tell by their enthusiasm to post. Obama has yet to speak on the issue.
Yea because you can read hearts and minds. No one gives a flying **** what that loser Odumbo WHO CREATED ISIS has to say..
Obama created ISIS? Is there anything more stupid that a brain-washed, easily manipulated hyper-partisan hack?
What are the Islamic State's origins?
The group that calls itself the Islamic State can trace its lineage to the aftermath of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. The Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi aligned his Jama’at al-Tawhid w’al-Jihad with al-Qaeda, making it al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI).
Zarqawi’s organization
took aim at U.S. forces (PDF), their international allies, and local collaborators. It sought to draw the United States into a sectarian civil war by attacking Shias and their holy sites, including the Imam al-Askari shrine in 2006, to provoke them to retaliate against Sunni civilians.
Zarqawi was killed in a U.S. air strike that year. The emergence of the U.S.-backed Awakening councils, or Sons of Iraq, further weakened AQI as Sunni tribesmen reconciled with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s Shia-led government. Zarqawi’s successors rebranded AQI as the Islamic State of Iraq, and later, the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). The name refers to a territory that roughly corresponds with the Levant, reflecting broadened ambitions as the 2011 uprising in Syria created opportunities for AQI to expand. The group is known to its followers as
il-Dawla (“the State”) and to its Arabic-speaking detractors as
Daesh, the Arabic equivalent of the acronym ISIS.
The Islamic State’s current leader, the self-proclaimed caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, spent time in
U.S.-run prisons in Iraq. Cells organized within them, along with
remnants of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s ousted secular-nationalist Ba’ath party, make up some of the Islamic State’s ranks. Excluded from the Iraqi state since occupying U.S. authorities instituted de-Ba'athification in 2003, they see collaboration with the Islamic State as a way back to power.
