I apologize if this has been discussed already, I am on the board fairly frequently, but haven't seen anything on this specifically.
I was looking at a map of the areas under control of ISIS. The map showed a chunk of N Iraq, and east Syria.
SO...are these the same people that our lovely leaders have been providing some training and weapons to??? If so, why has the fact that only a few months ago there was a huge push to provide more support than we have been not been mentioned?
Disclaimer: This isn't directed at Obama or left. Obviously there was repubs (such as McCain) pushing for more support.

ISIS are the good guys in Syria and the bad guys in Iraq. Iran is the bad guy in Syria and now the good guy in Iraq. It's all pretty simple

Don't worry about it.

I have been wondering the same thing. I hope someone can give us some good insight.

Bush's fault.
