I believe the president wanted the Caliphate. He intervened to make certain it would happen, but he envisioned it as raining Skittles and scampering unicorns. The desert would suddenly flower and angelic voices would sing. Since it’s not turning out that way he is simply ignoring it. He’s in denial.
Wrongo.....Obama wanted ISIS but envisioned it as helping him to DESTROY AMERICA!!! AND TOGETHER THEY WILL!!!!
Even if he did not explicitly want it to happen, he certainly facilitated the infiltration of Muslim Brotherhood types into our national security bureaucracy. The outcome should not be at all surprising.
I do believe that you have hit the nail on the head, center-cut.
