AGREED!!!.....

There in lies the problem. Seems like nobody knows. The administration
has known about isisi for two years but had no strategy to deal with them
and according to Obama still has none.
How is it possible that someone has been asleep at the switch for 2 years ?
Same old kick the can down the road and HOPE nothing happens, but then
again the President did campaign on HOPE.

I think it's pretty silly to think the Administration has been ignoring the issue for 2 years. We've been trying to get the Iraqi government to take some responsibility in the matter. How are we supposed to take the blame for military acting French?

This stuff has been brewing for so long but you can't resist the opportunity to blame blame blame rather than think about what we can and should do. It's a very complex situation with no easy options.

The positive side to things being this dangerous is that the other Arab nations are finally waking up to the monsters they've helped create.

What about the summer suit? No outrage about the suit?
