ISIS or ISIL as 0 calls the group, is supplied and supported by 0bama and his State dept. The goal is overthrow of Syria, a client state of the Russians. What is going on in the Ukraine and in Syria and much of the ME is a proxy war between the US and the old USSR. We are getting more of the Arab spring, but this time ISIL is “off the chain”. 0 wants the US in combat in Syria, his goal? Topple Bashar Al Assad, as Kaddafy was toppled. His publicly stated goal is to support the “moderate” Muslims wanting Assad to go.
I took a long winded approach to the question....YES 0bama is hampering efforts.
Obama calls it ISIL because that indicates a larger islamic state…L is the Levant, which includes much more than Syria: Lebanon, Israel, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, etc. All of the countries around the eastern Mediterranean.
