Don't you find it a funny coincidence that this revelation comes on the heels of the Pentagon asking for $7.5 billion dollars..a 50% increase in what they got last year ?
Definitely not a coincidence.

Looks more like we "fund" ISIS rather than fight them.
Russia stepped into the picture and has made more progress in a few months than we have in years.
Then again, we want Assad out.
Good for them. I don't wanna make progress.

Yet many on the left complain about W. Bush, "not doing anything" before 9-11 when he had NO definitive information to act on.
Wait, I think you are one of them.
Lol...I know...gotta fight them over there so that blah, blah

Considering how much their budgets have been cut these past few years, it is NOT surprising they are asking for more.
Oh, wait, you DIDN'T know the defense budgets has been cut.
Under Obama, we have the fewest number of planes and ships since before WWII. Look at what THAT cost us.
What did it cost us?

And now it is us doing the killing. We are Saddam.
Oh, please!!! Are we supposed to ignore our enemies, and just let them destroy us? I think we ought to nuke the entire bunch of Islamic States and be done with them.

Kill them all, every last one of those animals!!
Thank you Donald Trump, are you volunteering. There will be an attack here hopefully not on the level of 9/11 but sending frontline ground forces is out of the question. Nuke the Islamic States, feel better.
To those who think this made the situation worse, you likely voted for John McCain and his choice for V.P., Sarah Palin.
Oh, no. And I certainly don't care to hear anything about the latter and her ridiculous family dramas... unfortunately every few months that rubbish gets brought up here.

Keep in mind that by "animals", this poster isn't just referring to the terrorists in that region, but every man, woman, and child as well.
