During the White House press briefing today, ABC News reporter Jon Karl questioned Press Secretary Josh Earnest about President Obama’s current strategy against ISIS, asking if he believed that the president’s strategy was succeeding.

It doesn’t matter what the US does over there as long as we are bringing in thousands of Muslims here. The real threat is right under our own noses.

You can't expect air strikes from Queen Obama.He is one of them. We'll continue to arm the Iraquis,they will continue to drop their weapons and run like the cowardly bastards that they are,and Isis will add to their stockpile of weaponry.See how easy that is ? President Down Low gets to arm our enemy through the back door so to speak...no pun intended. He'll only continue to look like the incompetent puppet ass that he is rather than a muzzie who would love nothing more than to go down in history as the man who helped to bring about the destruction of America.
