ISIS claims it is out to rectify these past events. However, the jihadist group still has a challenge in showing it can govern the caliphate it seeks to create, even though it has become a rallying point and sparked the imagination of disgruntled, unemployed young people to become jihadists with its dramatic military successes.
ISIS’ success also has shown just how limited U.S. influence now is in that region, as these sectarian and ethnic groups within these countries try to sort out things for themselves.
I'll admit it. I wasn't aware of ISIS when the "insurgents" first started taking back Iraqi territory that American soldiers fought so hard to secure for the Iraqi people before President Obama pulled them out of Iraq in 2011. But then after the middle of this June,
I started learning about ISIS. First, I learned that ISIS was formed to create a caliphate in the Middle East. Now it is more of a story, being that ISIS supposedly caught Obama off guard! Lt. Col. Ralph Peters doesn't believe that story. And worse yet, we now find out that we've missed an opportunity to hit ISIS when they were most vulnerable, before they started their assault on Iraq.
What I'm saying is that there is not a political desire for American military power being used in Iraq to fight in a civil war there. The problem is, it isn't just about a civil war. It is actually about stopping the ISIS ultimate goal, the intention to set up a universal Caliphate. That is definitely something that threatens America's security. It's time for Obama to rethink what needs to be done in the Middle East, especially in Iraq. However, I do not think you'll hear Obama and his liberal minions ever talking about the dangers now present with ISIS. That would make his whole foreign policy regarding the Middle East and Iraq a total failure, especially when U.S. intelligence knew what was going on with ISIS for quite awhile. If we had intelligence about ISIS, then how could Obama have been caught off guard?
I have to agree with what Lt. Col. Ralph Peters says in the video below. Obama is lying, and he's telling us that there is nothing to see here. Well, now we know, and it IS a complete reflection on the failed Obama policies in the Middle East and keeping America secure. Just sayin'...

WASHINGTON – Claiming its goal is to smash the “partitioning of Muslim lands by crusader powers,” the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, or ISIS, has set out its goal of redrawing the map of the Middle East.
This goal is outlined in an article from its latest weekly web magazine, The Islamic State Report, a professionally designed mouthpiece meant to recruit would-be jihadist fighters from the West.
ISIS’ web magazine began in June and has just published its fifth issue. Its fourth issue talks about redrawing the map of the Middle East, and on its cover shows ISIS fighters crossing between Syria and Iraq without any sign of a demarcation between the two countries. The web magazine is published every Saturday.
The article seeks to justify creation of an Islamic caliphate to re-establish the Middle East region before it was carved up by the British and French following World War I.
In outlining how it is reshaping the Middle East map, ISIS in said its goal is to correct an injustice that goes back to a secret arrangement between the British and French, known as the 1916 Sykes-Picot Treaty. That treaty created the countries of Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan and later contributed to Israel’s creation.
