It's clear Obama knew about ISIS for a long time but ignored it, hoping it would go away.
This administration is driven by 24hr news cycles. They reach a crisis point and must "do somethng" which may or may not survive the next news cycle.
So they'll bomb Syria. Oh no they wont.
They'll declare Assad has t go. Oh no, now Assad is our partner.
They'll bomb ISIS. And then they wont.
Now they're bombing in Sudan. Why? Who knows?
Obama: The Bomb President.
What exactly, did Obama chose to ignore?
It's difficult taking anyone with
Obama dirt, seriously; the track-record is hardly stellar in that department.
For starters he chose ignore AQ in Syria. Why? Because he didn't give a shit who took out Assad.
Not only did this AQ affiliate grow under Baghdadi but they grew in so much power and stature they dumped AQ and AQ distanced themselves from ISIS and Levant as they began to call themselves. They were too violent even for AQ.
Considering that a year and a half ago they took over the biggest provincial city Raqaa in Syria and this is all documented maybe that lying mother ****** in the White House aka Home of the Whopper should have been watching the news.
That's how he only seems to find out about anything the worthless piece of shit.
hey finally you understand what happened! I mean you did leave out the fact that Iraq wanted us out and only when they fucked did they come to us. Hindsight is a wonderful but sometimes you have to let things play out.
As for ISIS being new? they are. Groups form over there all the time and quickly die out.
Of course anyone with a lick of intelligence would know this.
Maliki wanted troops to stay. We've been all over this. Obama dropped the offer to 3,000 troops and it wasn't worth Maliki's trouble to arm twist others to get them to stay.
McCain and Graham were at the bargaining table and are calling anyone who says differently a liar.
Face it. The fool in the WH just wanted to bail instead of renegotiating.
ISIS is not new in the way Obama is claiming. To claim that ISIS has just "burst on the stage without anyone one seeing this one coming" is one more time a liar. A really big liar.
Enough lies. They didn't "explode on the scene unexpectedly".
And this group isn't going to die out. You really need to get up to speed Plas.
They have formed their Caliphate. They rule great swathes of Syria and Iraq including oil fields and are the most powerful and the most wealthy terror army/government on the planet.
2 Billion last I read. They aren't going anywhere.
