Gorka: 'When Obama Took Office There Was No ISIS, Now They Have 80K Fighters'
Fox ^ | Aug. 12, 2013

Posted on 08/12/2016 10:51:44 PM PDT by george76

Gorka explained that Trump would be right to say that Obama and Clinton "facilitated" the rise of ISIS in the Middle East with their policies.

He said that ISIS now has more than 80,000 fighters and is "the most powerful jihadi insurgency the world has ever seen."

"In 2008 ... ISIS didn't exist. Al Qaeda in Iraq, the forerunner of ISIS, was one regional franchise inside Iraq. When we withdrew our troops, when we started to cook the books on intelligence, as you hear from CENTCOM analysts, then we facilitated the rise of ISIS," he said, also calling out Obama for drawing "false red lines" in Syria.

“Clinton, Obama and Carter: Real foreign policy geniuses”

The problem is, all three of them have done all of it purposely!

Sorry, you are wrong on the geniuses. Carter was innocently ignorant. Clinton was knowledgeable, but a part of the marxist muslim paradigm that gave us the muslim , BO and CIC who is VERY knowledgeable about islam and how to fight it’s battles.
He is such a great politician that he was able to harness America to fight for islam, use it’s resources to empower islam, to convert America internally, to weaken America to a violent insurrection from within, while weakening America for a future islamic assault.

Yes, he is a genius.

And America is and has been letting it happen.

Gorka seems the most forceful of Fox consultants. In another show today, I think it was on Varney, Gorka claimed there are 65 million refugees. They were talking about the French Government begging its people to host Moslem refugees in THEIR OWN HOMES. Yeah right, that's going to be popular.

Yes, I thought it was common knowledge that Obama and Hillary created Isis to take out Assad. But I guess most people have a very short memory.

I would say more just brazen than genius. Obama is brazen like the Clintons are. They know that decades of brainwashing/education and cultural revolution have resulted in an America afraid and incapable of being thought of as racist, sexist, bigoted or politically-incorrect in any way...and they use that to get their way without significant opposition.

Obama knows that he can silence any opposition by invoking race or culture and activating white guilt. He can cower the opposition and force the Islamization of America by activating the brainwashing about racism in the popular culture. I see that as brazen and ruthless more than genius.

Sorry, hero, but zero is NOT a genius.

He is nothing more than a well-trained spokesman for the powers that are destroying America. Look what happens when his teleprompter shuts down...he turns into a babbling idiot.

Scott nailed it.

Let’s keep it real. It’s not just the dems. GWB was all-in for regime change, making a mess out of Iraq. Besides that, he was a vile opponent of Constitutional conservative principles, allowing the invasion of the US to get way out of control. etc

I would agree....empty-suit syndrome. Just a guy who wears a good $800 suit and can read off a monitor.

I would even go and put Bush II in the same category...another empty-suit player.

With Hillary....it’s a seven-line resume applicant. The first line goes: “Married to Bill”.

But for the ISIS folks to get lifted up as a “corporation” (thats basically how they operate now)....they needed Saudi funding and Libyan weapons. So the US is simply a partner of the syndicate. I doubt if President Obama himself....can explain the whole logic why they were behind this creation or what they hopped to achieve. I think someone just said act 5 of the production will go this way, and he acted out the part as directed.

Gorka is on radio talk shows as well. Never heard of him before. He’s very well spoken.

Yes, this is certainly true. But Trump has placed Hillary in a bind here: she can't point that out since she voted to support the invasion.

One point of contention with Gorka's comments: our troops never did come close to defeating ISIS in Iraq. It was the Sunni tribes themselves who were beating ISIS because the jihadists wore out their welcome. We just got out of the tribes' way.

Obama and Hillary allowed ISIS to spread by destabilizing Syria.

Calling Carter “innocently ignorant” gives him too much credit. He was guilty of scheming and side dealing for his own political benefit—a real creep.
