As the terrorists of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) threaten Baghdad, thousands of slaughtered Iraqis in their wake, it is worth recalling a few of President Obama's past statements about ISIS and al Qaeda. "If a J.V. team puts on Lakers' uniforms that doesn't make them Kobe Bryant" (January 2014). "[C]ore al Qaeda is on its heels, has been decimated" (August 2013). "So, let there be no doubt: The tide of war is receding" (September 2011).
Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many. Too many times to count, Mr. Obama has told us he is "ending" the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan—as though wishing made it so. His rhetoric has now come crashing into reality. Watching the black-clad ISIS jihadists take territory once secured by American blood is final proof, if any were needed, that America's enemies are not "decimated." They are emboldened and on the march.
The fall of the Iraqi cities of Fallujah, Tikrit, Mosul and Tel Afar, and the establishment of terrorist safe havens across a large swath of the Arab world, present a strategic threat to the security of the United States. Mr. Obama's actions—before and after ISIS's recent advances in Iraq—have the effect of increasing that threat.

they're just stupid people who only excel at being wrong in life, just look at the words their supreme leader chooses to speak
and after all his failures on so many damn levels, after his across the boards failures, they still choose to defend him as if they life depended on it (I guess for many of them, their life does depend on politicians, can only pity those souls) - (no pun intended, seriously, I can only guess when trying to figure out what makes them tick)
such defense is akin to arguing the Chicago Cubs are the most successful franchise in sports history and a lock to win the World Series this year.
such defense and unyielding support is as stupid as suggesting the Donald Sterling matter is over already, they'll be a 29-0 vote and Sterling won't even put up a fight.
some people are just that silly, while others are vile lying scum who can't pick their nose
