Obama dropped the ball on ISIS, its up to the middle east now to deal with them.
They'll only grow in number without the intervention of the Allied forces.

Its bullshit to blame Obama for ISIS. As soon as he sends troops there under an official capacity, the public will be bytching that he's starting another Iraq War. It's not his fault the public is war weary, and the kid is right. Bush's invasion is pretty much the direct cause of IS.
Didn't he support the Syrian rebels that helped them?

*There's also evidence that Al-Assad and ISIS for a long time were securing each others flanks by essentially avoiding one another. ISIS ground down the less extreme, politically motivated rebels while Al-Assad bought oil from ISIS. In the last year, after ISIS looted enough weaponry from Iraq to take the fight to Al-Assad, this arrangement came crashing down and now pretty much every time the Syrian Government faces off against ISIS they lose, badly. Al-Assad should have learned a lesson from the Roman Empire that trying to play off "barbarians" against each other eventually comes back to bite you.

Which again goes back to when the American public as bytching that he wasn't doing anything in Syria. Seems the American public enjoys criticising Obama for not doing stuff and then criticising him once he does it. Nation of hypocrites lol.
There were people on the streets demanding Assad's head? letter/email campaign? Nope, it was elite driven like all foreign adventures.

Stop voting strategically guys."I don't like candidate x, but he's the best one out of the two".
Keep this up and you'll never get out of that shit system 👆
Nobody should force you to vote between to shit candidates.
I agree in principle but not in practice. I threw away a vote once to Jill Stein's Green Party and all I got out of it was the subject for a poem.

That is until too many Black people start legally carrying, then the 2nd Amendment loonies will flip out and start asking for regulation.
