Obama's pretend war insures the continued growth of ISIL, as he likes to call it. ISIL, of course, explicitely denies the existence of Israel by claiming all land on the east coast of the Mediteranean Sea as the seat of its authority.
There are many more things wrong with Obama's JV pretend war with ISIL than there are right. Stopping US citizens from joining ISIL in the mideast is ignorant, pure and simple. It merely creates a stateside batallion of ISIL warriors. In truth if all of the sundry war activities proposed and acted upon by Obama Inc are studied carefully they lead inexorably to a reinforcement of the Caliphate. Obama is not a warrior. He is at best a dilitante, at worse an enemy of the US.
