Well, it's about time. Barack Obama couldn't have made any bigger a mess, pulling US troops out before the region was stabilized and allowing ISIS to grow unchecked.

Of course, Al Qaeda raiding the embassy at Benghazi and taking all those weapons cached by Ghaddafi and catalogued by the CIA, and giving them to ISIS in Syria didn't help, either.

Nor did The Clinton Foundation's friends Saudi Arabia and Qatar funding ISIS and supplying them with weapons.

Alas, when your agenda is turning the entire Middle East into a stronghold of The Muslim brotherhood, any intrigue and loss of life is apparently justifiable. Like supporting coup attempts in Libya (successful) and Egypt (failed).

No criticism of Bush for lying us into the whole unnecessary mess in the first place?
And by the way, Obama had only pulled out the troops because that was the agreement made by Bush with his puppet government in Iraq.

That's very good news after all the years that they've been under oppression.
