Indeed. We are going to PAY HEAVILY for sitting idly by while ISIS crushes entire countries in the ME, crucifying Christians, etc..

Yeah, with Obama, I immediately suspect he wants these missiles to be captured, as it is a deniable way to arm the terrorists.
To: mojito
4000 missiles to Iraq. Don’t fret, they’ll be back soon.

This partisan Administration has to many interests that are political and personal to
do anything historically worthy of his ego.
America is being shamed by a punk in OUR WH.
But hey, as millions die Obama isn't a Warmonger! YAY, Celebrate you liberal idiots!

I’d like to know who created and who’s money is funding ISIS since it was a total unknown three weeks ago. I suspect the muzzy in the white hut and my tax dollars.

We’re against the IS beheading cannibal child molesters in Iraq, but we’re arming and supporting them in Syria.
What do you call it when the stupid goes beyond belief?
