"He was the latest victim of Middle East violence.
Today from Iraq, to Syria, to Lebanon, to Egypt to Libya there is turmoil.
This is the result of a failed foreign policy.
The Obama doctrine – build a Caliphate in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya.
Withdraw American influence and protection.
The result?
In just 4 years half of Syria’s population has been killed, displaced or fled the country."

Should Obama carry blame for this? These Islamics are so ready and willing to kill so many of their own anyway. Is there anything Obama could have done to prevent this? If so, since it's landing on the doorsteps of Europe now, why didn't THEY do something?!

aggressive action against ISIS and it wouldn't have existed by the time Obama came to the office.

Where was ISIS when Bush was in office?

If I recall correctly, we had AQ and the Taliban and what is ISIS now was part of AQ....until BO took office and pulled our troops out. ISIS was kicked out of AQ for being so gruesome that even THEY couldn't tolerate those members.

That's ONE group

and another group would be the group that causes "collateral damage" while trying to kill Radical Islamic Terrorists......

How bout America defeats all the gangs in America first...THEN move on to saving other countries.

It would be an excellent "proving ground" for methods to kill/destroy ISIS

...Gangs are living among the population and controlling their "neighbourhoods" Much like ISIS....

Liberals want the gangs to keep their guns

and to allow more members to come across the border freely....

Any 'proving ground' has to come from Republicans again.........look to NYC and all the liberal Dem policies that have totally reversed the gains that were being made previously by Rudy and Bloomberg. Does it sound even a little bit like what happened in Iraq after BO?

Then explain...

...Libya and Egypt and Yemen? Syria gained Sadam's WMD on Iraq's fall to us. What's going on in the Middle East can't all be explained away as Bush or Obama in Iraq, nor dealings with Iran, there's more to it than just that. There's an entire sea change of power going on over there in the Middle East and wider spread than USA involvement.
