I, for one, was happy to learn from Bammy that this had NOTHING to do with Islam.

Are you kidding? With Obama its always about him.

ISIS is making him look bad and forced him to take valuable time away from the country club to address the situation.

Doesn't take it personally.

That would explain his thin skin and pettiness.

</sarcasm>

This is the first time I've ever seen him sort of take something personally.

How about the time he decided Trayvon Martin was his son?

"He likes to think of himself"

He should have stopped there.

He was speaking taqiyyah and nothing more. Obama has defended Islam at every turn and will continue until Islam controls the world.

I know he thinks of himself that way. In reality, he is Fredo Corleone.

Yeh Howard Bammy’s so-called long range plan failed. If we would have left a contingent US military force in Iraq we might have been able to nip them cretins in the bud and would have held on to our military equipment. Instead we have this__ Bammy’s ‘plan’ is utter worthless just like he is.

ISIS is making him (Obama) look bad

His creation went astray. He funded, armed, and trained them. They promised to use all that to overthrow Assad. His "good rebel" child has gone astray.

This is Obama's legacy.

That would also explain John McCain's interest in them.

BTW has McCain commented on the situation in Iraq recently? He always weighs in on military matters.
