White House "Watching" Rise of Sunni Islamic State in Iraq
Truth Revolt ^ | June 12, 2014 | Bradford Thomas

Posted on 06/12/2014 8:35:48 AM PDT by Biggirl

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Wednesday that the administration was “watching very carefully” the rise of a new growing threat in the Middle East, the al-Qaeda-affiliated Sunni group calling itself the “Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant” (ISIL), which has already seized control of two Iraqi cities in two days and is threatening to take Baghdad as well.

When faced by the ISIL in two cities, the U.S.-trained Iraqi forces fled, abandoning valuable equipment supplied by the U.S.

Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq. Corrupt military trained and supplied by US no match for dedicated insurgents. Same story, different wars.

If my memory is correct, in Islam, if the father is or was Muslim, the child or children are Muslim.

The white house needs to quit messing around and start sending out tweets so they can show those Sunnis we are serious!

Let's not jump the gun here. First Barry needs to find some video to blame this all on. I understand that even as we speak, the administration is reviewing suspicious sections of the old movie "Lawrence of Arabia."

But if no disrespectful video can be found, then Barry should draw a red line somewhere. If that fails too, only then should he activate the mighty tweet machine.

They certainly are watching it. In fact, Obama is probably cheering the rise of the new caliphate.

The new “Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant” show their appreciation for everything Obama has done for them.

This could be a better job op for the Caliph than a gig on MSNBC or head of the UN. Supposedly they pilfered 500 million bucks and plan to offer Baraq some LeBron James level dough if he signs on.

Everywhere you look abroad (and at home), our problems are snowballing at a rapidly accelerating pace.

All orchestrated by President Jarrett and Immam Baraq.

Wait til the piles of heads appear in Baghdad—men, women, children. Wait til the flood of rich Iraqi come to America? Wait till the barbarism comes—and Iran seizes Iraq and a new Persian Empire rises on the point of a sword. Maybe Iran can bring peace we could not. These new fanatics will not put up with IUDs—one goes off, a whole village or neighborhood will be beheaded. These guys don’t care about human rights. Maybe they get the government they deserve?
