When a president has to be BEGGED and PRODDED into lowering the flag to half staff in honor of our murdered Marines, it's not a stretch to believe Odingo has willfully aided and abetted ISIS' Caliphate crusade across the Middle East.
It's CLEAR whose side he is on, and becomes more clear as he nears the end of his final term (hopefully).

Great Ray, tell us why everyone at your level supported them to begin with?
Lindsey Graham and others STILL have a hard-on to get us involved in Syria on the side of ISIS.
And Ray, the only way to stop the rise of ISIS would have been a) kill Al-Qeada and b) destroy their minions in our government..

Ya know, while I would live to jump on the “Obama sux” bandwagon on this article too, I have to wonder just how damn long Odierno would expect us to have stayed in Iraq with thousands of boots on the ground? 5 more years? 10?
Fact is - unless we increased and escalated the costs in lives and money - ISIS was a guarantee.

Didn’t Odierno just announce that recruiters would not be armed and that they should report for work in civies and close the blinds?

He is following orders, I guess.
It sure sounds like a solution that came from the Rainbow Hut.

A-Freaking-Men!
Especially point b).
There ain't much we can do about ISIS over there. But to compound and increase the muzzie problems by ENCOURAGING it here with the Obama-holes here in the US is too freaking much!

No S#!+ Sherlock, and with a president who wasn’t in cahoots with them we would have.

I consider the entire Iraq thing a mistake now. But 6 or 7 years things were relatively stable. Without a doubt there was an opportunity there that this president squandered.
Given his policies towards Israel, towards Libya, Egypt, Syria, ISIS etc etc I have concluded his bungling of Iraq with subsequent rise of ISIS was intentional.

Obama is sleeping. Crafting good deals for the enemies of the United States is hard work.
