The first Obama heard of this was in the newspapers.

This is what happens when you have children who hate America in charge.
The primary goal of Team BO has been to surrender power abroad and to infiltrate the military with open homosexuals and trannies. THAT is the priority for the Clown.

This is Obama
just 6 months ago on ISIS:
The analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is if a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesnt make them Kobe Bryant, Obama told Remnick.
"I think there is a distinction between the capacity and reach of a bin Laden and a network that is actively planning major terrorist plots against the homeland versus jihadists who are engaged in various local power struggles and disputes, often sectarian.

Now, current and former officials say Washington's options for helping the Iraqi army fight back are limitedboth because the threat in Iraq is so entrenched and because the U.S. hasn't invested in building up moderate allies on the Syrian side of the border. This is more of the same BS about moderate Syrian rebels.

The quickly unfolding drama prompted a White House meeting Wednesday of top policy makers and military leaders who were caught off guard by the swift collapse of Iraqi security forces, officials acknowledged. After having been told it would happen for a decade.

You know what.... Let the middle east just kill each other. They will never, ever stop. Tell them that they are on their own and if they decide to attack Israel or the U.S. well nuke them off the planet. And mean it.

Question:
How many men do we have left in Iraq? Are they all in Baghdad?
To: kristinn
Sorry, but the vast majority of Americans outside this board don't give a crap. Too busy chasing the good life and the free handouts, don't ya know.
We're nothing but a celebrity worship culture now, chasing the lifestyle of the worst dregs to ever disgrace our shores. Let the goat pluggers run rampant in the Middle East, who cares? If it starts to affect ME, then I'll start to cry about it until someone else does something about it.

I said the first day we rolled into Iraq, that we had to be there for at least 20 years, or else it would quickly crumble.
In hindsight, it was better to leave Saddam in charge.

Then why in the world are we spending such big bucks for our intelligence organizations?
It starts at the top. Our dumbass President couldn’t be bothered with daily intelligence briefings. He had more important things to do like raise money for the Democrat Party.

Most Americans refuse to see that everything Obama does is purposely designed to bring down this country. Yet NOTHING could be more obvious.
People are in denial. Perhaps its because they just can't handle the truth or simply don't care. Whatever, that fundamental truth is...
If its bad for America, Obama is for it.
