ISIS has become the most dangerous, well organized, well funded, media savyy, the best operational and strategically organized Terrorist organization in the history of the world. They have committed acts of terrorism on every major continent and have participated in genocide.

Id really like to get Obama, Hillary, John Kerry and Susan Rice together in a room to find out how they were able to look the other way and refused to act when given the choice. Its shocking to me.

I wonder why the media turned a blind eye?

Yeah, that was clearly a fuck up on Obama's part, clearly they underestimated ISIS at the start and now they're paying the price for it. But it's not like they didn't have other issues to worry about, remember that whole "dig the country out of the recession" thing that was a large issue at the time?

Weak. So too much going on to protect the country and allies from the terrorist group that is re-writing the book on global jihad?

Come'on man.

I was more referring to 2008-2010ish, when ISIS was still a relatively unknown thing, and the shitshow that was our economy was priority A. IIRC the comments about ISIS being a JV squad were made after that but I already said that's a fuckup on Obama's part, so I'm not sure what more you are looking for.

And can we please not act like being president of the most powerful country on Earth is not a full time job and then some? Idc who is President, Trump or Obama, there is a reason Obama's days were planned down to the minute. Trump seems more like a "I'm gonna wing it" kinda guy but point is, it's not like Obama was relaxing and some staffer was like "hey maybe you should check out this whole ISIS thing" and he was like, "ehhh I'll get to it when I get to it."

Well trump framed the argument well with the Saudis and other Muslim nations...this is good vs evil. I woulda taken a step further and spoke directly to the Islamic faith and said Wahhabism is pure satanic evil shit that has poisoned your religion. Because, well it's true.
