As I said... a paid hack. Thank you for emphasizing it for me.
May explain how Obama got elected and reelected, uninformed and misinformed voters going to the polls.
At this point what difference does it make ? ISIS is JV. :lamo
Then can you explain why Terrorism is up by 59% from 2010 -2013?

Wow you do any thing for your dictator wouldn't you.
Perhaps if your chosen looser in charge had left a base or two in Iraq he could have persisted in using drones their to keep extremist from killing people and expanding. But you and his ilk don't bother learning from history (like WWI) so repeat it at the cost of lives.
Article 24
Withdrawal of the United States Forces from Iraq
1. All the United States Forces shall withdraw from all Iraqi territory no later than December 31, 2011.

I'm having difficulty verifying your assertion; basically, the latest figures I can find for terrorism statistics are from 2011, and the trend is mostly downward.
The Washington Post has a graph, total and fatal terrorist attacks in the US by year, 1970 to 2011, which does not show the increase either.

Source: Obama given detailed intelligence for a year about rise of ISIS
>" President Obama was given detailed and specific intelligence about the rise of the Islamic State as part of his daily briefing for at least a year before the group seized large swaths of territory over the summer, a former Pentagon official told Fox News.
The official -- who asked not to be identified because the President's Daily Brief is considered the most authoritative, classified intelligence community product analyzing sensitive international events for the president -- said the data was strong and "granular" in detail.
The source said a policymaker "could not come away with any other impression: This is getting bad."
Obama, unlike his predecessors who traditionally had the document briefed to them, is known to personally read the daily brief. The former Pentagon official, who has knowledge of the process, said Obama generally was not known to come back to the intelligence community with further requests for information based on the daily report..."<

Incompetence is one thing, it's expected, Obama is nothing more than a community organiser. But dereliction of duty as CnCDereliction of duty falls under United States Code Title 10 § 892. Article 92
"ISIS is JV."
Obama has been informed of ISIS for over a year and he doesn't have a strategy yet to deal with ISIS ?
Mornin 29A. :2wave: Here is what the RAND Corporation has to say on it.
Terrorism Flourishes During Obama Years.....
RAND Documents Rise of Terrorism Under Obama
Seth Jones, the associate director of the International Security and Defense Policy Center at the RAND Corp., released a report yesterday called "A Persistent Threat: The Evolution of al Qa'ida and Other Salafi-Jihadists." In a WSJ op-ed yesterday about the report, Jones reports, without mentioning Obama's repeated claims of having al Qaeda "on the run," that "The numberof al Qaeda and other jihadist groups and fighters are growing, not shrinking.... From 2010 to 2013 the number of jihadist groups world-wide has grown by 58%, to 49 from 31; the number of jihadist fighters has doubled to a high estimate of 100,000; and the number of attacks by al Qaeda affiliates has increased to roughly 1,000 from 392."
Jones claims that Russia, China, and Iran all pose dangers to the US, but "these nations are not to our knowledge actively plotting attacks against the American homeland. A handful of terrorist groups, however, remain dedicated to attacking the U.S. at home and overseas.... Ayman al-Zawahiri remains committed to striking the U.S. He is flanked by a number of Americans, such as Abdullah al-Shami and Adam Gadahn, who support that goal." He identifies the threats to the US, itself, as coming primarily from groups operating in Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Syria, referencing Moner Mohammad Abusalha, an American who was a member of the al Qaeda affiliate organization al-Nusra, who blew himself up in a suicide bombing in Syria on March 29.....snip~
Terrorism Flourishes During Obama Years
Howdy MMC! US policy in the ME has given rise to militant Islamic groups for decades. This isn't just Obama.
U.S. Democracy Promotion Policy in the Middle East: the Islamist Dilemma
And this changes, how much it has increased from 2010-2013, did ya say?
Not at all. There's no question that its worse during that time. The point is that the removal of Hussein was a catalyst, but more than just that, years of support of militant Islamic groups is paying the dividends. Partisan finger pointing will NEVER solve anything. Bush, removed MEK from the terror list and trained them in Nevada. Reap what you sow.
Back in 2004 G.W. Bush was POTUS and Al Qaeda and Islamist radicals were being decimated and were on the run.
Any thing else ?
I didn't forget, and one still must look at how this will impact the next 3 or 4 years and what comes out of in the next decade. Which then as you already know.....the microscope becomes the magnifying glass. Which then goes down on BO peeps timeline.....and how he always had it wrong. Kind of like Carter. But worse.
Yeah, partisan finger pointing accomplishes nothing and partisan support for wrong doing ensures more. US policy, I don't give a damn which party has the White House, has been destabilisation in the ME. This is risky business, every. Once in a while you may have a group who gets a little big for their britches as IS has.

U.S. Democracy Promotion Policy in the Middle East: the Islamist Dilemma
Okay... I guess it's this time:
All because you salivate over an anonymous sourced story written by an extreme political hack organization.
Oh, I guess you didn't know about Maliki visiting BO in Nov of 2013 and asking him for Tech and Air Strikes Right here at the WH and BO denying him.
No the Republican controlled house knows what the Interim President of Libya at the time told the BBC.....they also know about the State Dept being told so by the Head of Libyan Security, and of course they did talk about those failings by State. Also that's why Gowdy is STILL taking Depositions. Guess you forgot about that.....since you thought the Republican controlled house had given up their investigation.
"decimated and on the run" "radicals" "islamists"
GWB didn't do jack ****, maybe to morons he did.
last I recall, osama bin laden got the hammer from obama not bush.
References, please. And when you provide references, make sure that they're not instances where some wingnut refers to his own column as proof, or refers to some other wingnut blog as proof. Make sure that there's some kind of official proof of what you claim.
Have fun!
He knew ISIS was growing...but did he have foreknowledge of ISIS' offensive into northern Iraq? And in the VERY unlikely event that he did, how exactly is this a dereliction of duty since it does not involve Americans or American soil?
Of course, we DID have a president who was repeatedly warned that a certain terrorist was planning a major attack on American soil and flatly ignored those warnings - "Okay, you've covered your ass" was the quote, but we can never blame things on him, can we?
You're right.
Obama's foreign policy incompetence means that Lybia is now a Country run by Islamic extremists. They even took over Tripoli Airport and have absconded with 12 passenger jets.
Here's the deal. People are sheep and will support the party, no matter what. Before 911, Bush had an intelligence report that al-Queda was going to strike and did nothing about it. Then 911 happened. Democrats attacked Bush, and Republicans defended him. Flash forward to today, when we find out that Obama has been given intelligence about ISIS, and has done nothing. And what's happening? Republicans are attacking him, and Democrats are defending him. This thread, just like the one about Bush years ago, is just another partisan circle jerk. Yup, just like the Bush threads, only the roles have been reversed.
Yep. Egypt and UAE have had to respond militarily. Something that wasn't necessary when Gaddafi was there. Btw, regime change in Libya unfortunately was supported by the right.
