In January 2014 President Obama referred to ISIS, one of the most vicious terror armies to ever exist, of being a "JV team."
The analogy we use around here sometimes,and I think is accurate, is if a JV team puts on Lakers uniforms, that doesnt make them Kobe Bryant, Obama told the New Yorker at the time.
After that comment the group marched from Syria to Iraq, taking large swaths of territory, pillaging and raping along the way and slaughtering thousands.
Now with just a month left in his presidency, President Obama is saying he was surprised by the capability of ISIS to control major parts of the region, becoming a world wide threat.
"The ability of ISIL to not just mass inside of Syria, but then to initiate major land offensives that took Mosul, for example, that was not on my intelligence radar screen," Obama told CNN's Fareed Zakaria in an interview airing Wednesday night.
There was no reason for Obama or those in his administration to be surprised, after all, they were warned about the consequences of rapidly leaving Iraq and did it anyway.
Obama knew a group like ISIS had potential, but ignored warnings for political and ideological reasons. The consequences for that decision have been deadly.

Comrade obama’s election was the big opportunity for demRATs the prove the superiority of their diplomatic skills, their comprehension of economics and their excellence in managing the well being of American citizens. Clearly a Hollywood inspired education has its limitations.
BTTT
Took him 8 years to admit what every one knew and top military advisers tried to get his attention about while he went on about overseas contingency operations.
I think this guy was in over his head from day one. He did what he was told to do and said what others plugged into his teleprompter. I expect him to make a ‘rap’ video within a year.
He knew exactly what he was doing when he armed them.
He knew exactly who they were too .
Al Baghdadi is part of the muslim brotherhood and so is he and so are the bunch of advisors he has let in the white house. It’s not a surprise , it’s part of his plan.
There are even a large number on FREEREPUBLIC that believe Hussein is an incompetent fool who made a lot of mistakes. To label them stupid is an insult to Forest Gump.
The other side believe that Hussein Obama, as a minimum, is a pro-Muslim closest terrorist who is attacking America in every way he can from global warming to arming Muslim terrorists.
What is the right answer? I think it is obvious who Hussein is and that he sides with Muslim terrorists because he is one.
It had everything to do with his Muslim roots.
Americans are the easiest people in history to fool. Tell the presstitutes a lie and they will repeat it 24/7 until the masses repeat it in their sleep. Hussein is NOT a Muslim, Hussein is NOT a Muslim......
He’s not even the smartest man in the room when he is alone.
Riiight!
(pleasantly surprised maybe)
Or maybe he can go in exile to Epstein’s island to satisfy every perv’s dream of screwing a President...
Yep. And Yep, and Yep, and...
He rather claims he was surprised, rather than admit and have to explain why he deliberately decided to not fight ISIS terrorists.
