Currently Performing in Syria, ISIS, group formally known as Decimated-On-the-Run al-Qaeda, now 2000% Stronger

By Elizabeth Nelson

You know, Obama loves to hear himself talk and he really does believe his own Bullshi*. Bush Obama would happen if pulled out of Iraq, before he finished the job that was started there, but he didn't listen; he had a base to pander to.

Did feckless Obama really believe that the "decimated and on-the-run" al-Qaeda was just going to just stop running and "forgive and forget" the beating they got in Iraq? Oh no, that little "ragtag band of misfits" hasn't just regrouped, they've gained in speed, power and number, thanks to you and your underestimating them.

Back in January the terrorist group formerly known as al-Qaida in Iraq morphed in Syria and renamed itself ISIS and crossed back into Iraq and took over western Al Anbar province and the towns of Al Ramadi and Fallujah — cities where Marines and Soldiers spent precious blood to win. At the time, this group had an estimated strength of 1,500 to 2,000. We did nothing then, as a matter of fact our President referred to them as the “jayvee” team — well, they’ve gone straight to college level. Read more at AllenWest

As reported Friday by Fox News, “The CIA said Thursday that the number of Islamic State fighters has grown to as many as three times previous estimates, a day after President Obama announced he is drastically expanding the U.S. military campaign against the militants. A spokesperson for the agency told Fox News that new assessments show that the militant group can muster between 20,000 and 31,500 fighters across Iraq and Syria. The spokesperson said the new figures were determined after a review of “all-source intelligence reports” on the group from May to August.” Read more Fox News

As we say in the military, “no plan survives first contact,” so will Obama and his crew of Keystone Cops adjust and perhaps allow the real professionals in the Pentagon and CENTCOM to develop a plan? Instead of his poll-driven political partisan drivel that doesn’t define success or victory.

I have to ask Mr. President, what are the area of operations and the area of interest? What is the shaping operation and what is the decisive operation? Where is our main effort and who are the supporting efforts? We already have further confusion in the command chain as the Obama administration announced a retired Marine General to be in charge of the operation. What does that tell the CJCS General Martin Dempsey and the CENTCOM CG General Lloyd Austin? Are they supposed to report to a retired Marine General as we execute a combat operation — and this is war, it is combat?

Folks, we have watched, in less than a year, a terrorist band of brigands expand from 1,500 or so to 31,500. And yet Obama didn’t address the issue of domestic jihadist recruitment. Read more at AllenWest

So, we're looking at a Jihadist army that thinks it is more than ready to take on the United States and our military might.  Granted, it is more tech savvy and has more land, than al-Qaeda ever had in the past, but they have forgotten how vastly superior our Military is. 

In the past, we went to war with al-Qaeda, when we declared a War-on-Terror.  

However, the only problem now is, we don't have a leader that is willing to use our military to destroy terrorists "wherever they are", and the threat against America, because we have a Emperor that refuses to go to war with his own people. Instead, he televises our every move to our enemy, because telling our opponent how we play a game has always won us every game we embark on, so that's how we'll win a "non-war," right?

If not boots on the ground now, then later. Obama's unspoken plan is, he's willing to wait until they bring the war to us, hoping that that day will come when he isn't the POTUS and the POTUS of that day will be man enough to make that call.
