Let us never cease to remind all that THIS is the group Obama wished to back with our air force. Does anyone really believe Obama didn't understand what ISIS would eventually end up doing in Syria? Does anyone still believe he ever cared in the slightest? What were we thinking as a nation when we put this kind of man in charge of the White House?
