...Asked how Islamic State fighters (click here) had come to control so much territory in Syria and Iraq, Obama acknowledged that US intelligence agencies underestimated the threat and overestimated the ability and will of Iraq’s army to fight. Obama said he agreed with his director of national intelligence, James Clapper, who acknowledged that the US “underestimated what had been taking place in Syria.” Obama also said it was “absolutely true” that the US overestimated the ability and will of the Iraqi army.
Republican Sen. John McCain, who lost the presidential election to Obama in 2008 and has been a frequent critic on foreign policy, said in an interview Monday that the administration had miscalculated the necessity for the United States to keep a residual force of troops in Iraq after the war there ended....
Ya gotta love John McCain. The war is over, but, the USA needs a presence in Iraq to guarantee we are involved with 'boots on the ground' when it starts again.
They are proud of themselves. Is there something wrong with that? The countries need to protect from extremists and it is time for them to define what dangerous means to them. They can't find a greater evil than IS.

Since the IS started to attract media attention, it spared no effort to demonstrate how a human being can stoop so low.
The most outrageous and unfortunate thing is that they used the name of Islam to further their diabolical designs, reviving fears and dreadful memories their evil twin, Al-Qaeda, had planted in the hearts and minds of the whole world toward this peaceful religion. Sadly for Islam, it had to be used by groups of lunatics as a justification for their greedy pathetic existence. Needless to say, this great religion has nothing to do with these crazy people. The teachings of Islam are different from their skewed interpretation of this religion....
They are a wonderful people that dearly needs to offer opportunity to every citizen while identifying the evil that can change their lives forever. Not every Saudi woman can afford to provide a new car to her husband on their wedding anniversary, but, that is true for American women as well. This expression of love of her husband is no different than any Western woman. What is different is the dress they wear and the place where they live.
The Arab nations need to remove the danger allowed to exist in the region by providing financial support to extremists. The Arab nations need this fight. They need it for many reasons. This woman and her spouse are important and their safety from evil is important as well.

The world has finally decided to confront the threat (click here) of the Islamic State. It was just about time. Waves of jet fighters coming from an international coalition have started to roam the skies above Syria and Iraq targeting locations and supply lines the IS is using to sustain its terror.
