Under his radar? What a liar. He gave them weapons and those Hilux Toyotas...hummers..over and over again. He now has his rebels using us airforce for bombing raids. Under his radar my rear end.

Bullcrap. He and McCain and Hillary and Petraeus created them out of whole cloth. And they intended them to topple Assad.

What was it, 2 and a half or 3 years ago, THOUSANDS of ISIS in caravans driving all over Iraq, and he would not do anything about it. A few bombs back then could have saved so much horror since then. He IGNORED them at best, armed them and allied in their fight, at worst.

tough sh*t. he crucified GWB for a less egregious intelligence mistake regarding WMD, and, unlike obama, bush didn’t personally create the object of his intelligence error.

Does he mean he was surprised how quickly he pulled it off? He has the blood of thousands - maybe millions on his hands. Wouldn’t want to be him on Judgment Day.

More lies from fake media. DIA intel reports predicted exactly this would happen. Flynn knew and tried to stop it. CIA saw ISIS as a “strategic asset” to accomplish NeoCon objectives.

Obama CREATED ISIS to murder, rape, and enslave,
and the Democrats and McCain bought it,
and gave them MANPADs and an Ambassador to rape
to seal the deal.

The words Obama and Intelligence should be banned from appearing within a single sentence.

Are you referring to this ISIS truck convoy?

 photo is_zps7d3pq62o.jpg

The truck convoy of brand new Toyota trucks that all appear to have been part of a fleet purchase? Hmmm....I did not know that ISIS had their own Toyota dealership in Mosul. Or maybe these were purchased for ISIS by the Saudis and Qataris, with the full knowledge and acquiesensce of the CIA.

BS, Obama created it and even has his pet name ISIL, to give them hope to take over not only Syria and Iraq but the wider geographical area including Israel.
