I miss having a president and an administration that UNDERSTANDS what the stakes are in the Middle East and the state of a world with radical Islam on the rise.

Our President is neither capable nor wise enough to understand what ISIS and it's goals are about. His ideology is that America is not exceptional and that it doesn't have an obligation to promote freedom and to protect innocents around the world. As Commander-In-Chief he does not have the ability and his advisors do not have the capacity to defend our nation as they should.

President Mitt Romney would've been proactive on these issues.

Today members of the the Senate committee that provide oversight of security issues are saying that they have known about ISIS for TWO YEARS. Why has it taken the Oval Office so long to recognize the danger?

It's because they are so anti-war that they are barely wiling to act when it's obvious even to a casual observer that something must be done.

Weak leaders produce strong enemies.

I saw that last week. Very awesome moment for GW - vindication. He said he would sit back and let history tell the true story.

BTW, Mitt is in the past, we need to move on.

Now, I agree obama is inept, unqualified and hasn't a clue what he's doing. The news I read this morning is he's getting his direction from Sandy Berger. Sandy Berger!?

However...I read the part I put in bold and shake my head in amazement. I haven't read about this yet, but I'm wondering...

WHY DIDN'T THEY SAY SOMETHING!?!!?

Seriously? Do we have NO ONE either in charge or providing checks and balances in DC? You have obama, who is completely out of his community organizing element; then you have Congress, who's too busy either whining about obama or trying to defend obama to see this info TWO YEARS AGO and say, "Whoa!" "Wait just a minute, maybe this ISIS/ISIL group warrants a closer look."

If this is true, and some Senate committee was sitting on this information, then they should all resign in shame. Both the Republicans and Democrats. Shameful. To sit on information about a terror group, and wait while this group gains more power and murders innocent people. And these days you can't blame a Republican for leaking a story to make obama look bad, because his own party doesn't like his limp response to ISIS/ISIL either (Di Fi eviscerated him a week or two ago).

Of course Obama doesn't have advisors and insiders who communicate w him and influence his decisions.

Of course you miss the point.

Whoever helped to craft the speeches W makes in this montage, whether by committee or by a few, the information about a future Iraq should we pull out too soon is spot on.

But I doubt you'll give that a scintilla of thought.

If we would drill for more oil domestically then none of this would matter.

:rofl we have waaay more Natgas than we could burn in a hundred years--we're shipping it thousands of miles away, of course...

well, let's agree then that it was a foregone conclusion, if ol' "Mission Accomplished" figured it out--and yet, we pulled out of Iraq anyway, hmm. Prolly 'cuz the Iraqi's wanted it that way, right? (trap ahead)

It was also predicted in the Hadiths of Islam....

“Messenger of Allah said: If you see the Black Banners coming from Khurasan (Iran and Northern Iraq) go to them immediately, even if you must crawl over ice, because indeed amongst them is the Caliph, Al Mahdi.”

Who is the "Al Mahdi"?

In Islamic eschatology, the Mahdi (English: Guided One) is the prophesied redeemer of Islam who will rule for seven, nine or nineteen years (according to differing interpretations) before the Day of Judgment (yawm al-qiyamah / literally, the Day of Resurrection) and will rid the world of evil.

Folks, they are preparing for their "messiah".

[shazeep]

Aquila, can you give me a Qur'an ref for this 'Mahdi?' Ty
