I've been hearing about this "ISIS" a lot lately in the news.

Spoiler:

The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, abbreviated as ISIS or alternately ISIL, is an unrecognized state and active Jihadist militant group in Iraq and Syria influenced by the Wahhabi movement. In its unrecognized self-proclaimed status as an independent state, it claims the territory of Iraq and Syria, with implied future claims intended over more of the Levant— including Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Cyprus and Southern Turkey. It was established in the early years of the Iraq War and pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda in 2004. The group was composed of and supported by a variety of insurgent groups, including its predecessor organisation, the Mujahideen Shura Council, al-Qaeda in Iraq, Jaysh al-Fatiheen, Jund al-Sahaba, Katbiyan Ansar Al-Tawhid wal Sunnah, Jeish al-Taiifa al-Mansoura etc, and other clans whose population profess Sunni Islam. Its aim was to establish a caliphate in the Sunni majority regions of Iraq, later expanding this to include Syria. In February 2014, after an eight-month power struggle, al-Qaeda cut all ties with ISIS.

So ISIS was a dissenting group from al-Qaeda, who got kicked from them and are potentially even more dangerous?

That's pretty terrifying.

Obama pretty much has fucked up everything in the world because (and no offence) lazy people in america (mainly "black"), voted for him because of his promise to continue bullshit welfare.

And while they are at it, steal all the oil, drugs and anything else of value within the "hostile" country. Isn't it always convenient circumstances to be invading somewhere.


We need oil, im gonna get it.

I think you're overestimating the danger of al-Qaeda. I mean, if you really wanted to stop al-Qaeda you'd fund schooling in those countries - the most effective solution to this problem, IMO.

You do realize the US aren't attacking the Iraqi government (which is pro-US), right? All they are doing is taking back ISIS-held territory. The government already has access to Iraq's oil.

US HAS ATTACKED the Iraqi government and transformed a Country with some problems in a country always in war...the Iraqi' s security isn' t able to hold order without help and when the international' s military left them alone...it's simply the caos!
What can do Obama now?
history teaches us the bombs brings democracy so more bombs more democracy!
Yesss another little bit of destruction and everything gonna be alright
